Passive antenna systems

What is a passive antenna?

1. It consists of two (or three) aerials connected with a low-loss co-axial cable.

2. This passive repeater is positioned at a point where the reception is optimum from the extreme ends.

3. Antennas do not amplify the signal; but only relay it to cover a blind spot.

4. Position can be determined using the three-person reception test.

5. The maximum cable length we recommend is 50m for UHF and 100m for VHF communication.

What is a three-person reception test?

1. This is done by placing two people with hand portables at extreme ends of the location while a third person acts as a repeater.

2. The third person tries to position himself in the middle at the most appropriate location where reception is good from both ends.

3. Once this position is determined you can consider placing the passive antennas at that point.
