ARPC226.Z Panel antenna FM double or single polarization 87.5-108 MHz

Q: For which applications is the ARPC226.Z typically used?

The ARPC226.Z is designed for professional FM broadcast sites in the 87.5-108 MHz band, especially where a panel antenna is used to shape coverage and manage interference in single-site or array configurations.

Q: What are the main electrical characteristics?

The ARPC226.Z covers 87.5-108 MHz with bandwidth specified as (6% FC), typical gain 6 dBi, VSWR <= 1.5, 50 ohm nominal impedance and V-H polarization. Typical beamwidths are 80/70 deg (E-plane) and 120/170 deg (H-plane). Maximum input power is 500 W. All metal parts are D.C. grounded.

Q: What are the key mechanical features?

The antenna has typical dimensions 2000 x 1400 mm, weight 12 kg, and mounting diameter range 40-114 mm. Ice protection is specified as no full radome.

Q: Which mounting accessories are available?

Available accessories include ARP226F (2 tilt clamps, diameter 40-114, 4 kg) and ARP226T (2 tilt clamps, diameter 40-114, 4.5 kg).
