Which antenna types are typically used for UHF broadcasting sites in the 300-870 MHz range?

Typical solutions include directional panel and Yagi antennas for coverage control, log-periodic antennas for broadband requirements, and dipole/ground-plane antennas where omnidirectional service is needed.

Can these antennas be used in array or stacking systems?

Yes. Many broadcast deployments use arrays/stacking to increase gain and shape radiation patterns. The optimal configuration depends on the site constraints and coverage objectives.

Q: When should I choose a directional antenna instead of an omnidirectional antenna?

Directional antennas are chosen to aim coverage toward a target area and reduce unwanted directions. Omnidirectional antennas are preferred when 360-degree service around the site is required.

Q: Are log-periodic antennas suitable for broadband UHF broadcasting planning?

Yes. Log-periodic antennas are often selected when a broad operating range is required with stable directional behaviour across the band.

UHF Broadcasting Antennas 300-870 MHz - Panel, Yagi, Dipole, Log-Periodic, Ground Plane

300 - 870 MHz

This catalog page collects professional UHF broadcasting antennas for radio/TV sites and network deployments in the 300–870 MHz range, widely used for DVB-T / DVB-T2 and DVB-H infrastructures, repeaters and engineered distribution points.

The family includes multiple antenna technologies to match different coverage goals and site constraints: directional solutions (panel, Yagi and log-periodic) to shape the footprint and reduce unwanted directions, and omnidirectional / ground-plane solutions when stable 360° service around the site is required.

Typical applications include broadcast headends, transmission sites, gap-fillers and relay stations where pattern cleanliness, mechanical robustness and long-term outdoor reliability are essential. Depending on the configuration, these antennas can also be used in array/stacking systems to optimise gain and coverage control.

Frequently asked questions about UHF broadcasting antennas 300-870 MHz

Quick answers to the most common questions about selecting UHF broadcast antennas for radio/TV and DVB-T/DVB-T2 network installations.

Which antenna types are typically used for UHF broadcasting sites?

Common choices include directional panels and Yagi antennas for controlled coverage, log-periodic antennas for broadband needs, and dipole / ground-plane solutions where omnidirectional service is required.

When should I choose a directional antenna instead of an omnidirectional one?

Directional antennas are used to aim coverage toward a target area, reduce unwanted signals and improve link stability. Omnidirectional antennas are preferred when 360° service around the site is needed.

What is the advantage of log-periodic antennas in the 300-870 MHz range?

Log-periodic antennas are selected when a broad operating range is required with stable directional behaviour, supporting multi-channel or multi-allocation UHF planning.

Which polarization is normally used for UHF broadcasting installations?

Polarization depends on the network design and regional practice. Installations may use vertical, horizontal or engineered configurations in arrays, chosen to match the coverage objective and reduce interference.

Can these antennas be used in array/stacking systems?

Yes. Many broadcast deployments use arrays to increase gain and shape the vertical/horizontal pattern. The correct solution depends on site constraints, target area and the required radiation control.
