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 DTV broadcasting. Kathrein 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 9001, which includes not only all manufacturing operations, but also design processes.

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 300 019-1-4. The antennas may be used at locations where the anticipated peak wind velocity or gust wind speed lies within the maximum wind speed listed in the datasheet. We guarantee the mechanical safety and electrical functionality under such conditions. The wind speeds are defined in accordance with the DIN, EN or TIA standards. This guarantee makes allowance for the partial safety factors specified in those standards. 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 res- ponse, which can cause the supporting structure to oscillate and to be damaged. Prisma- tic bodies, even with non-circular cross-section can show crosswind response, which can cause the supporting structure to oscillate (see EN 1991-1-4 or EN 1993-3-1). These facts must be considered during the site planning process. The installation team must be properly qualified and also be familiar with the relevant na- tional safety regulations. The details given in our data sheets have to be followed carefully when installing the an- tennas and accessories. The limits for the coupling torque of RF-connectors, recommended by the connector manufacturers must be obeyed. Our quality assurance system and our environmental management system apply to the entire company and are certified by TÜV according to EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 14001. We reserve the right to make alterations in accordance with the requirements of our cus- tomers, therefore for binding data please check valid data sheets on our homepage: www. kathrein.com

Antenna System Configurations Three-sided Panel Array The individual panels are designed to cover an azimuth sector of 120 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 arran- gement 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. Four-sided Panel Array The individual panels are designed to cover an azimuth sector of 90 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. Turnstile and Superturnstile-Antennas 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 wave- length of the signal. dB dB dB dB 3/7 P 3/7 P 1/7 P 4/10 P 4/10 P 1/10 P 1/10 P Kathrein offers a wide variety of antenna systems, allowing the broadcaster to select the optimum configuration for each station.

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 radiati- on 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. 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 pro- tect the antennas against weather damage. 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.

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 re- directing 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 ele- vated 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 me- chanically tilted to direct the beam downward, or phase differences can be introduced into the array feeder system to achieve electrical tilt. Impedance 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. 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 dis assembly 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.

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 analog 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 0.5 to 1.5 dB, when null fill is introduced. Polarization 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 90 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 an analog TV transmitter occurs during transmission of a black picture and it is typically equal to 70% of the nominal peak sync power level. For DTV and DAB the nominal transmitter power will occur as the effective mean power level, how- ever, special attention has also to be paid to the voltage load of the system (voltage “crest-factor” due to OFDM modulation). 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 dB 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 3 dB. 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.

Filters and combiners are essential components of many broadcasting antenna systems. They are used for selecting frequencies, suppressing disturbing emissions and noise sidebands. Several chan- nels can be combined into one common antenna by using combiners. In certain cases, separate antenna diagrams for individual channels can also be generated. Selection of parameters According to their use as elements of a system, filters are constructed as two-port networks and are matched to the impedance of the other system elements (e.g. transmitter, receiver, antenna or connecting cables) at both the input and the output. Frequency response The attenuation usually depends on the frequency used. This relationship is illustrated in diagram 1, showing a typical attenuation curve for a filter. A plot of the attenuation vs frequency shows the typical filter curve. The attenuation a (1.1) is the logarithmic ratio between input power and transmitted power. Matching As a measurement of how a filter is matched the return loss, which is the logarithmic relationship between the input and reflected power ar (1.2), is displayed in diagram 2. The return loss ar, reflection coefficient r and VSWR factor s (1.3 and 1.4) are all related according to the formulas. f10 dB a fd f a Δ f f1a1 3 dB b Diagram 1: Frequency response of a filter tuned to frequency f1 with insertion loss a1, stop band attenuation a2 at the frequency of f1 – Δ f and with bandwidth b at 3 dB.

Broadcast Combiners and Filters Filters Where used in broadcasting systems, filters are normally set up as a combination of several λ/4 resonators. The Q factor of the resonators is very important with regard to the electrical data and is influenced by the shape and volume of the filter as well as by the conductivity of the material used. The selectivity of the filters used for combiners has a decisive influence on the minimum spacing required between the transmitters to be connected onto one common antenna. If the frequency spacing is narrow then the filters must similarly be tuned in a very narrow way. But this will cause an increase in the insertion loss resulting in the filters becoming hot (diagram 3). This problem can be avoided if filters of greater volume are used which have a relatively lower insertion loss. Directional couplers A directional coupler is a reciprocal four-port construc- tion, whereby two of the ports are isolated from each other. For example, the power fed in at port 1 is split up to ports 2 and 3, whereas port 4 is isolated. The power fed into the other ports is similarly split. If the coupling range of a transmission-line coupler is λ/4 at the center frequency fm then the coupling attenuation over a frequency range of f 1/ f2 = 2 is almost independent of the frequency (fig. 3). For example, with a 3-dB directional coupler there is a divergence of ± 0.4 dB and phase difference of 90° occurs between the signals at ports 2 and 3, which is also almost independent of the frequency (fig. 2). If every port is terminated with a reflection-free load, then the formulas for coupling attenuation and directivity apply.

Combiners are a combination of frequency-selecting components (e.g. filters, stretchlines) with nodes and connecting elements (e.g. directional couplers, starpoints). In high quality combiners bandpass filters are used in preference to stop band filters. Starpoint combiners Starpoint combiners for n channels consist of n band-pass filters with outputs that are connected to a common starpoint. The individual band-pass filters are tuned to the respective frequencies. Since the band-pass filters are mismatched out side their pass-bands (with inductive coupling the impedance approaches a short-circuit) the impedance can be transformed up to very high levels by selecting the appropriate length for the link between the filters and the starpoint. This means that for every input the transformed im- pedances of all the other inputs are very high at the starpoint which produces a very low parallel load at the antenna output. Directional filter combiner Directional filter combiners are a combination of filters and 3-dB couplers. One module consists of two band-pass filters, two 3-dB couplers and a balancing load. One input is narrowband, corresponding to the band- pass curve of the band-pass filter. The other input is broadband, corresponding to the operating range of the 3-dB coupler. Compared to other types of combiners that can be produced at less expense, directional filters offer a number of useful advantages: – Simple set-up of multiple combiners through cascading of modules – Very high isolation between the inputs – Broadband matching at all inputs – Easy extension of existing combiners by adding new modules.

Both of these pass through one of the band-pass filters to the second 3-dB coupler where they are then added in equal phase at its output due to the 3-dB couplers function. At the broadband input the two partial signals are anti-phase and therefore practically no signal appears at this port. The broadband input is isolated from the narrowband input by the directional coupler. However the isolation depends on the band-pass filters being identically tuned. The frequency of a signal fed into the broadband input lies within the stop band of the band-pass filters. The signal is split into two halves by the 3-dB coupler and reflected completely by the band-pass filters and proceeds to the output after co-phase addition. The narrowband input is isolated from the broadband input by the directional coupler, as described above, but there is additional isolation due to the stop band attenuation of the band-pass filters. Cascading of modules Multiple combiners are easly set up by using several modules with the output of each module feeding the broadband input of the next module. The number of channels possible in a given frequency band is limited only by the minimum spacing bet- ween the signals. However limitation can also arise because the insertion loss for each additional module increases by 0.05 up to 0.2 dB and can assume intole- rable values. The power rating of the 3-dB coupler at the output also can limit the number of channels in practice. Multiplexer Multiplexers consist of one or more directional filter modules and a starpoint combiner. The output of the starpoint combiner is connected to the broadband input of the directional fiter combiner. It is advantageous to feed the channels with the largest possible frequency spacing into the starpoint combiner since this produces the optimal isolation. The isolation between the narrowband input to the starpoint combiners’ inputs is determined by the directional couplers and additionally by the stop-band attenuation of the band-pass filters.
