3 Kathrein Broadcast Antennas Kathrein is one of the world s leading manufacturers of professional broadcast antenna systems, including a full range of transmitting antennas for FM, TV, DAB and DVB broadcasting. KATREIN-Werke KG was founded in 1919 in Rosenheim, Germany, to produce antennas and lightning protection equipment. Since 1955 Kathrein has been supplying professional antenna systems of all sizes to broadcasters in every part of the world, from Canada to China and from Norway to South Africa. Right from the start Kathrein has maintained a high level of engineering capability. Today there is a team of antenna and mechanical engineers dealing exclusively with broadcast transmitting antennas. This highly qualified engineering team is responsible for: Design of components (antennas, power splitters, etc.). Design and optimization of complete antenna systems. Installation and testing of antenna systems. Project management. Kathrein can provide turn-key installations in cooperation with other contractors or using the customer s installation personnel. Customers are welcome to take advantage of the technical expertise available from Kathrein and to discuss their specific requirements. If your needs cannot be met with our standard components we are prepared to develop special solutions for you. Kathrein s quality management system is certified in accordance with ISO 91, which includes not only all manufacturing operations, but also design processes. Quality leads the way As the world s oldest and largest antenna manufacturer, we live up to claim Quality leads the way on a daily basis. One of the fundamental principies is to always be on the lookout for the best solution for our customers. Our quality assurance system and our environmental management system apply to the entire company and are certified by TÜV according to EN ISO 91 and EN ISO 141.

4 Please note: As a result of more stringent legal regulations and judgements regarding product liability, we are obliged to point out certain risks that may arise when products are used under extraordinary operating conditions. The mechanical design is based on the environmental conditions as stipulated in ETS , which include the static mechanical load imposed on an antenna by wind at maximum velocity. Extraordinary operating conditions, such as heavy icing or exceptional dynamic stress (e.g. strain caused by oscillating support structures), may result in the breakage of an antenna or even cause it to fall to the ground. Cylindrical bodies can show crosswind response, which can cause the supporting structure to oscillate and to be damaged (see EN or EN ). Prismatic bodies, even with non-circular cross-section can show crosswind response, which can cause the supporting structure to oscillate (see EN or EN ). These facts must be considered during the site planning process. The maximum wind velocities listed should be understood in the sense of working values according to DIN and EN standards. These values include a safety factor below the ultimate limit state (elastic limit or permanent deformation). For these wind velocities we guarantee the mechanical safety and the electrical integrity of our antennas. 4

5 Band I (VF) Antenna Systems Mz Band I (VF) Antennas Mz Antenna Systems The antenna systems listed are examples of typical confi gurations. The mechanical and electrical data can be used to estimate gain, size and mechanical loads of a system. The fi nal confi guration and technical data of an individually designed antenna system, meeting the customer s specifi c needs, will be determined by the Kathrein engineers. Antennas, Power Splitters and Accessories The basic antennas and related components shown in this catalog are only a small portion of the Kathrein broadcast product line. Many special versions are available, with different connectors, higher power ratings, and other features such as special probes or extra ice protection. Your enquiries are most welcome and we would like to discuss your special requirements.
