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, MMDS, DAB and DVB broadcasting. KATHREIN-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 our claim Quality leads the way on a daily basis. One of the fundamental principles is to always be on the lookout for the best solution for our customer. 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.
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 19-1-4, 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. 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

Relay Receiving Antennas and Special Antenna Systems Special Systems 17
Relay Receiving Antennas for TV and FM Broadcasting Receiving antenna systems with high side-lobe suppression and notches for the suppression of interference can significantly improve the signal quality of the relay receiving systems. Due to ever-increasing transmitter density, relay receiving systems can suffer difficulties due to co-channel or adjacent channel interference. In mountainous regions additional interference may be caused by reflected signals that arrive delayed. In order to suppress such interference, several individual antennas can be combined. Optimization of both the mechanical array and the electrical feeder system results in notches in the direction of the disturbance. Array patterns with notches in two different directions can also be produced to suppress interference coming from a variety of sources. To solve interference problems Kathrein offers receiving antennas with high side-lobe suppression for all frequency ranges. 16 1 Horizontal radiation pattern Half-power beam width: 16 Side-lobe suppression: > If high quality individual antennas are used, array patterns with particularly high side-lobe suppression can be produced. Kathrein s log.-per. antennas have been specially developed for such purposes. For example over the whole TV Band III range they achieve a side-lobe suppression value of more than 25 in both the horizontal and the vertical patterns. A further advantage of our log.-per. antennas is that their excellent radiation characteristics are hardly affected at all by very heavy ice formation. The following examples show measured radiation patterns of antenna arrays for all VHF and TV transmitting ranges (the side-lobes were enlarged by a factor of 1 to ease identification).

Measuring Links Devices for non-mechanical opening of cables for measurement purposes Applications Measuring links are devices that are connected into RF cable runs. Thus it is possible to open the cable run in an electrical (non-mechanical) way, allowing to measure into the cable in both directions. When closed (in its operating condition), the measuring link is a completely homogeneous, uniform section of the transmission line and does not affect the cut-off frequency of the transmission line system. Measuring Heads To permit cable measurements to be performed, measuring heads are available to each size of measuring links: 1. A measuring head allowing measurements to be taken in one of both directions with the cable section not measured being short-circuited. Connectors: 7-16 or N female. 2. A measuring head with 2 test connectors allows to measure in both cable directions. Connectors: 7-16 or N female.. A measurement head for cases where the measuring link is used for providing an emergency cable connection. Measuring heads of this type can be used to couple out the full incoming RF energy. Design Features Measuring link in a cable run The measuring links are completely watertight and weatherproof. They are manufactured of red brass and are therefore resistant to corrosive environments of any nature. The measuring links are available in versions with cable connections from 6 1/8 to 1 5/8 EIA-flange or connectors 1- and 7-16. Technical details are available upon request.

Antenna System Configurations Kathrein offers a wide variety of antenna systems, allowing the broadcaster to select the optimum configuration for each station. Following is an overview of various arrays and their typical characteristics and advantages. Three-sided Panel Array Equal power splitting Different power splitting /7 P The individual panels are designed to cover an azimuth sector of 12 degrees and three panels fed with equal power will result in an omni-directional pattern. Directional horizontal radiation patterns can be achieved by using a different panel arrangement and/or feeding the panels with unequal power levels. This arrangement is especially suitable for triangular and round towers or masts. These broadband systems are available with horizontal or circular polarization. Panel arrangement Horizontal radiation pattern (at mid-band) 1 1/7 P 1 /7 P Four-sided Panel Array Equal power splitting Different power splitting 4/1 P The individual panels are designed to cover an azimuth sector of 9 degrees so that four panels fed with equal power will produce an omni-directional pattern. Again, directional horizontal radiation pattern can be produced with other panel arrangements and unequal power fed to various panels in the array. This configuration is especially suitable for square towers or masts. These broadband systems can be supplied for any polarization. Panel arrangement Horizontal radiation pattern (at mid-band) 1 1/1 P 1/1 P 1 4/1 P Turnstile Antenna ϑ Turnstile and Superturnstile-Antennas U ~ This type of antenna (also known as a batwing ) produces an excellent horizontally polarized omni-directional pattern. A metal mast can be placed in the center of a turnstile-antenna as long as the mast has a small diameter relative to the wavelength of the signal..7 λ ~ ~ 9 ju ϑ Superturnstile Antenna 16.25 λ.5 λ
Antenna System Configurations Multi-panel Array If the cross section of the mast or tower is more than one wavelength it is impossible to obtain a satisfactory omni-directional horizontal radiation pattern using three or four panels per bay. However, an omni pattern can be achieved by increasing the number of panels per bay. The horizontal patterns of these multi-panel arrays will vary with frequency, but they can be designed for excellent omni performance over limited bandwidths. Multi-panel arrays are available with horizontal or vertical polarization. Special Antenna Systems Inside Self-supporting GRP Towers A large-diameter GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) pipe can be utilized to substitute a metal support structure and enclose an antenna system. The GRP pipe is transparent to RF energy and it allows the antenna engineer to use an optimized antenna design with a small cross-section at the center of the pipe. Antenna elements may be dipoles or turnstiles. The GRP pipe also provides excellent protection against severe environmental conditions such as rain, ice, snow, wind and corrosive agents and it allows access for inspections and maintenance at any time. Horizontally and vertically polarized systems can be supplied. Examples for Radiation Patterns 47 88 MHz 87.5 18 MHz Relay Receiving Antennas For professional receive applications such as transposer/translator inputs Kathrein offer a full range of antennas including yagis and logarithmic-periodic types. UHF models are equipped with radomes to assure reliable operation in icing conditions and to protect the antennas against weather damage. 1 1 expanded units K 52 16 8.. 174 2 MHz 1 1 expanded 2 units K 52 22 1.. 47 86 MHz Arrays of these antennas are available to provide very high gain, extremely narrow main lobes, and high rejection of co-channel and other interfering signals coming into the rear and sides of the array. Receiving antennas and arrays are available with either horizontal or vertical polarization. 1 1 expanded 1 expanded units K 52 22 5.. 4 units K 72 2 4.. 1 161 Technical Annex
Glossary of Broadcast Antenna Terms Antenna Gain The gain of an array describes the increase of signal in the main radiation direction which is produced by reducing radiation in all other directions and concentrating it in the main beam. The gain of a broadcast antenna system is normally increased by using a larger number of vertical bays (increasing the vertical aperture) and thereby forming a more narrow vertical radiation pattern. In the case of a directional antenna system the gain is increased by reducing or eliminating radiation toward azimuth segments and redirecting it toward the areas where coverage is desired. When calculating the gain of an array the losses in the feeder cables and the power splitters must be taken into account. Downtilt in Panel Arrays When transmitting antennas are located on elevated sites it is often beneficial to tilt the main beam of the vertical radiation pattern downward to provide higher signal levels in the areas to be served. There are two ways to accomplish downtilt (also known as beam tilt ). The panels can be mechanically tilted to direct the beam downward, or phase differences can be introduced into the array feeder system to achieve electrical tilt. Tuning While the VSWR of a well-designed antenna system can be optimized by the use of tuning devices it is not possible to achieve broad bandwidth by compensating for poor components with tuners. The characteristics of a truly high quality antenna system are established in many ways, beginning with proper component design and manufacture followed by competent system design and installation. Mast or Tower Dimensions for Panel Arrays The radiation pattern of a panel array depends on the relative positions of the individual panels in space and the relative amplitude and phase of the RF energy fed to each panel. Therefore it is necessary to have exact dimensional information about the supporting tower or mast if one is to optimize an array design. 162 The cross section of the mast or tower should be less than one wavelength for a good omni pattern. As the cross section increases beyond one wavelength nulls in the horizontal radiation pattern will rapidly become deeper. Measurement Links When large-diameter coax lines are used in an antenna system it is not possible to easily connect measurement equipment without disassembly of the coax system. In these cases it is advisable to install measurement links in the coax feeders to allow convenient connection of test equipment to the antenna system. Mismatch Compensation In a broadcast panel array the impedance match of individual panels can be disturbed by mutual coupling, icing and the presence of nearby obstacles. For this reason it is necessary to design the feed system so as to cancel reflections within the array and thereby minimize the presence of reflected signal at the antenna system input. This technique is also known as impedance compensation. Null Fill Panel arrays with multiple vertical bays will exhibit deep nulls in the vertical radiation pattern if all bays are fed with equal phase and amplitude. It is important to fill these nulls for proper signal coverage. For TV systems it is not sufficient to provide the minimum signal level, but it is necessary to make the direct signal bigger than any reflexion to avoid ghost pictures. There are three methods of introducing null fill in a panel array: Mechanically tilting some panels downward Using a non-linear phase taper between bays Using an unequal power split between bays Since some energy is taken from the main beam to fill the null, the maximum gain of the antenna system will be reduced, typically.5 to 1.5, when null fill is introduced.
Glossary of Broadcast Antenna Terms The polarization is defined as the direction of the electrical vector, in practice the plane of the dipoles. The electric field of an antenna system can be split into a horizontal and a vertical component. If there is only one component, the polarization is pure horizontal or vertical (plane polarized). If there are two components which are not in phase, the polarization is elliptical. For slant polarization both must exist and they must be in phase. When an antenna produces vertically and horizontally polarized fields with equal amplitude and with a phase difference of exactly 9 degrees, the resulting signal is circularly polarized. Power Rating of Components Generally, the power rating of components refers to the maximum CW power (or mean power) level that can be applied to the input. The maximum mean power output of a TV transmitter occurs during transmission of a black picture and it is typically equal to 7 % of the peak sync power level. Split Antenna Systems An antenna system can usually be divided into upper and lower halves which can be operated separately. This arrangement allows the use of one half for broadcast operations while the other half is available for painting or maintenance or other work that must be performed in close proximity to the antenna. The signal level will be reduced by 6 if one half of the antenna is fed with one half of the normal transmitter power. If the full transmitter power is available, the use of one half of the antenna will reduce the signal level by only. It will be necessary to climb the mast or tower to perform antenna switching unless a coax patch panel is installed at the transmitter output with two main feeders up to the antenna inputs. 16 Technical Annex
