The type and specific model of antenna used depends on the application, such as which suburb it is located, which environmental hazards are present, such as moisture/salt in coastal areas, or large birds in rural or bush areas, or weak signal areas.
In general, a log periodic antenna covering Band 3 is used in many suburbs in the Perth metro area, and has been proven to work well over thousands of installs. A UHF Yagi antenna can give better signal quality in some select suburbs.
No specific brand or model is free of potential drawbacks if used for the wrong purpose. As an example, antennas that have been known to give some of the best impact resistance, have also been known to fail prematurely from defects caused by water ingress through plastic housings, while models that are more resistant to water related issues may not have the required impact resistance such as if very large birds exist in the area.
Additionally, depending on the suburb you are located in, a different model or brand may be selected to maximize signal strength and quality. Lastly, statistical reliability is used in part of the decision process. That is, antennas that have been proven to give a decent service life and be free of defects in the past decades, are re-used. We do not use non technical and sentimental factors such as brand name, or country of manufacture in our decision process.
Yes, over 70 different models distributed throughout Australia. Generally the differences come from:
The exact type of antenna and its frequency range covered is chosen based on the area it is intended to be used in, and which tower it is to be tuned to.
Probably not. Signal boosters for their proper purpose, are used to:
The minimum signal strength required for TV reception varies by standards and reality, depending on a few factors
This required level, as stipulated by Australian Standard – AS/NZS 1367:2016 is a level of 45 dBuV.
ETSI TR 101 190 recommends a minimum level of 48dBuV.
ITU-R BT.1368-10 recommends a minimum level of 45dBuV.
In most antenna installs completed in Perth, we see many TV tuners are able to process signal strength that is significantly weaker than the minimum limits set in standards and display an uninterrupted picture. We typically see and expect issues when received signal strength is below 40dBuV, depending on the signal quality.
With consideration to what is observed in standards, and practice, we would consider installing a signal booster when the signal level falls below 50dBuV at the wallpoint.
Signal boosters do have a limited lifetime, periodically fail and cause reception issues in various ways including a sudden total loss of signal. As such when not needed, signal boosters while increasing signal strength, often make reception more unreliable.
Yes, installing a TV antenna inside the roof is possible, only if the following conditions are met:
There is no such thing, it’s a marketing term. An antenna is a series of metal elements that receives any signal that is available over the air so long as the signal is strong enough, and the antenna is designed for the frequency of that signal. What data is transmitted through that signal such as SDTV, HDTV channels, voice or data is irrelevant. Below is a picture if a piece of scrap copper wire receiving a HDTV channel.
