Double Aerial TV & FM Antenna

Double Aerial TV & FM Antenna

The Double Aerial TV & FM Antenna is a lightweight, compact indoor antenna incorporating twin aerial elements designed to receive both VHF television and FM radio signals. With a 300Ω output impedance and a frequency range covering 45 to 230 MHz, it provides reliable reception for local digital TV and FM broadcasts. Its simple form factor allows for easy placement near windows or on top of a TV, offering an accessible and effective solution for improving signal reception in urban and suburban settings.

For hobbyists and engineers, this provides a simple, low-cost RF front end suitable for integration with RF tuner modules, software-defined radio (SDR) receivers, and experimental measurement setups, with easy placement on windowsills or equipment racks to improve signal levels for embedded and electronics projects.

Features

• Dual aerial elements for combined TV and FM signal reception.
• Lightweight and compact indoor design for flexible placement.
• Supports VHF television and FM radio reception.
• 300Ω output impedance compatible with traditional twin-lead inputs.
• Broad frequency coverage for VHF and FM: 45-230MHz.
• Simple passive design that requires no power or biasing.
• Low-cost, easily integrated antenna for prototyping and classroom use.
• Improves signal-to-noise ratio for low-cost SDR and tuner modules.
• Suitable for quick bench tests, demonstrations, and field experiments.

Specifications

Applications

• Reception of local VHF digital TV broadcasts in regions with moderate signal strength.
• Improved FM radio reception when placed in optimal indoor locations.
• A simple and affordable upgrade for digital TVs without built-in tuners.
• Suitable for use in apartments, dorms, or interiors where wall-mounting an external antenna is impractical.
• RTL-SDR and other software-defined radio experiments for VHF/FM band analysis and demodulation.
• Embedded FM receiver projects using FM tuner modules (e.g., TEA5767/Si4703) for telemetry or audio capture.
• Integration with USB TV tuner sticks and tuner modules for low-cost broadcast reception and testing.
• Classroom labs demonstrating antenna basics, impedance matching, and signal propagation.
• Prototype RF front-end for IoT or telemetry gateways that require local VHF/FM monitoring.
• Quick verification of receiver sensitivity and front-end filtering during PCB bring-up and RF debugging.
• Simple spectrum scanning and signal-strength mapping for site surveys and placement testing.
