ETV Series Horizontally Polarized High Band VHF Panel Television Antenna

ETV Series Horizontally Polarized High Band VHF Panel Television Antenna

The Electronics Research ETV-H Series high band VHF television antenna is a horizontally polarized high band VHF panel antenna element which is supplied as a system. As with all ERI antenna systems these panel elements can be designed to mount on existing towers or supplied with integrated top or side mounted spines. Both models are available in configurations for three (3) curtain (for triangular towers) or four (4) curtain (for square towers) arrays. The elements and full arrays can be configured and optimized for a single high band VHF television channel, 174 MHz to 216 MHz, or be optimized to cover the entire channel span from 7 to 13 and handle multiple television signals in a single system. ERI can also provide channel combiners as a part of a complete system.
