General. The APFM-series panel antennas are designed for
FM Band II (87.5 108 MHz). Each antenna is made with hot
dipped galvanized steel and composed of two dipoles, a grid
reflector and mounting brackets.
Excellent Performance for stereo and SCA operation
Antenna systems. Stacking more panels it's possible to obtain
customized patterns, increase the gain and the power handling
capacity according to user requirements. Customized pattern,
electrical beam tilt and null fill are available upon request.
Broadband. Suitable for channel or broadband operations
with more channels combiners.
State of the art mechanical design, employing the finest
materials (Hot Dipped galvanized steel, silver plated copper,
non-corrosive brass, virgin PTFE and fiberglass) resulting in
long life service.
Lightning resistance is guaranteed by the DC ground poten-
tial of the entire antenna.
