These cross polarised Yagi Y200CP Series antennas for FM radio transmit and receive will cover any 4% bandwidth you specify within the FM frequency range 88 to 108 MHz at better than -20 dB return loss.Major benefits of this cross polarised design include :
Eliminate multipathing due to unwanted reflections and refractions. Â
The circular elliptical radiation pattern operates in both horizontal and Âvertical planes.Signals will penetrate the more obscure areas that a single plane antenna Âsimply cannot, particularly in hilly terrain or where there are trees, wire fencing and steel structures in the signal path.
Constructed from either aluminium or stainless steel, 2 sets of elements are arranged in a diagonal cross pattern and the 2 driven elements are at 90° phase shift. These Yagi’s are supplied with a 2-Way Phasing Harness terminated with an N-Type Female connector rated for 250 watts power.2, 4 and 6 element models are available with gain varying accordingly from 3 dBd up to 9 dBd per plane.The Y2300 or Y2300SS heavy duty right-angle clamp is recommended for mounting these Yagi’s to a mast up to 50 mm in diameter. For the 6 element model Y206CP, the YS1 single 2.5 metre strut kit is highly recommended to support the long 5 metre boom. Both the mounting clamp and strut kit is available to order separately.

The Yagi Y200B Series antennas are specifically designed for FM radio broadcast or receive. They can be manufactured to cover any 4 MHz bandwidth you require within the FM Band 88 to 108 MHz. Specify transmit and receive frequencies when ordering and your Yagi will be tuned accordingly at better than -20 dB return loss, less than 1.2:1 VSWR.The range includes 2, 3, 4 and 6 element models with gain varying from 3 dBd up to 9 dBd.
Available in either Aluminium or Stainless Steel, all models have a stainless steel dipole with stainless steel saddles and fixing bolts. When ordering a fully stainless steel model, simply add the letters ‘SS’ to the Model Order Code. e.g. Y206BSS.
Due to their large size, a strut kit is highly recommended to support the antenna boom. Either a Single or 2-Way Strut Kit and heavy duty right-angle mounting clamp are available to order separately.
Mount the Yagi either Horizontal or Vertical as required. For higher gain and power, mount Yagi’s in stack array formations.

Updated 9 July 2012
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, these broadband UHF TV 4-stack dipole arrays are designed for wide band vertically polarised TV transmissions where a high gain is required.
Key features are : Â The 120 MHz minimum bandwidth is ideal for multiple UHF TV station
transmissions and antenna sharing,  7.5 dBd gain,  Neat design with an internal power divider included,  Factory tuned and spaced ready to mount,  Stainless steel construction ensures a long service life, and  Minimal wind loading.
The standard range consists of 3 fixed frequency models TV6-5282-A, TV6-5282-B and TV6-5282-C each factory tuned to cover a designated bandwidth within the UHF TV frequency range 520 to 820 MHz.
Alternatively, clients can specify any 120 MHz bandwidth they require. Return loss will be optimised to better than -20 dB across the chosen UHF TV transmit frequency range. For a custom bandwidth dipole array, the order code is TV6-5282.
An N-Female connector rated for 200 watts input power is located inside the base of the mount tube. For higher 500 watts input power, add the suffix “-MP” to the order code.
To achieve even higher transmit power and gain, these dipole arrays can be mounted in tandem using another power divider.
Any of these arrays can be fitted with the TV6-RS stainless steel rear reflector screen to achieve a restricted cardiod shaped radiation pattern at the rear with gain increased to 10.5 dBd. See the following page for details.

Section 2
Updated 21 October 2011
Bandwidth520 – 820 MHz 8 Adjacent Channels
The Y815SS-CP cross polarised UHF TV broadcast Yagi operates with 13.5 dBd gain in both horizontal and vertical planes. Television transmission signals will therefore penetrate into the more obscure areas that a single plane antenna simply cannot.
The circular elliptical radiation pattern reduces unwanted reflection and refraction of signals. This improves transmit and receive performance, particularly in hilly terrain or where there are trees, wire fencing and steel structures in the signal path.
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, 15 sets of elements are arranged in a cross pattern and the 2 driven elements are at 90° phase shift.
Specify any 8 adjacent UHF TV channels within the frequency range 520 to 820 MHz and your cross polarised television broadcast Yagi antenna will be manufactured and tuned accordingly to better than -17 dB return loss, less than 1.3:1 VSWR.
The Yagi is supplied with a 2-way phasing harness terminated with an N-female connector rated for up to 100 watts input power.
A YS1-48 single strut kit will be necessary to properly support the antenna boom. This may be ordered separately, together with the S48-AM right-angle diagonal mast mounting clamp, coaxial feeder cable, connectors and other installation accessories.
