Omnidirectional ground-plane measurement antenna for the VHF DAB band 174÷240 MHz, studied for mobile and stationary applications.
This spectrum corresponds to VHF Band III, widely used for DAB/DAB+ digital radio broadcasting, so typical monitoring tasks include multiplex coverage checks,
field-strength surveys, on-air audits and troubleshooting unwanted emissions inside the DAB band.
The antenna is built with a polyvinyl chloride full radome against knocks and atmospheric agents, and all radiating elements are electrically connected to ground. To facilitate transport and deployment, the elements are quick-fit (AR0313IRXZ) or unscrewable (AR0313XZ). Standard equipment includes the coupling fixing Ø 30 mm between the antenna and the pole.

Which services fall inside 174–240 MHz?
174–240 MHz is VHF Band III, widely used for DAB/DAB+ digital radio broadcasting. Typical tasks include multiplex audits, field-strength surveys and troubleshooting unwanted emissions in the DAB spectrum.
What is the difference between AR0313XZ and AR0313IRXZ?
AR0313XZ is supplied with unscrewable elements, while AR0313IRXZ is supplied with quick-fit elements to facilitate transport and deployment.
Why is a full radome useful for DAB monitoring?
The polyvinyl chloride full radome protects the antenna against knocks and atmospheric agents, supporting reliable outdoor fixed installations and mobile campaigns.
How does grounding help in practice?
All radiating elements are electrically connected to ground and all metal parts are D.C. grounded, helping reduce electrostatic charge accumulation and improving robustness in outdoor environments.
Is documentation available for professional measurement reports?
Yes. The documentation package can include calibration references, radiation patterns, return loss test report, K-factor calculation and assembly instructions to support repeatability and reporting.
