Measurement and Monitoring Antennas 60-6000 MHz
Protel measurement and monitoring antennas cover 60 to 6000 MHz for fixed monitoring sites and mobile operations. The range includes omnidirectional, directional and magnetic solutions for professional radio measurements, spectrum surveillance and network troubleshooting in civil, industrial and institutional environments.
Typical uses and scenarios
- Continuous spectrum monitoring (fixed stations) and rapid checks in the field (portable or vehicle-based).
- Interference hunting, RFI troubleshooting, coverage verification and comparative tests.
- Drive-test and survey activities for telecom, broadcast and public-safety networks.
- Measurements for regulators, airport/aviation environments, integrators, service companies and technical departments.
FM broadcast band (87.5-108 MHz)
The FM band remains a core target for radio measurements worldwide. Typical activities include field-strength mapping, multipath checks, interference identification, and verification of coverage quality in urban and rural areas, as well as along transport corridors.
DAB / DAB+ Band III (174-240 MHz)
DAB networks are widely deployed in many countries and require reliable measurement setups for SFN quality checks, coverage validation, interference detection and on-site troubleshooting. Directional and omnidirectional measurement antennas support both spot measurements and route-based surveys.
Air-band VHF (108-137 MHz)
The aviation VHF band is used globally for air-ground communications. Measurement and monitoring antennas are employed for airport area checks, coverage verification, interference investigation and support operations such as flight inspection and monitoring of COM channels where required.
From VHF/UHF to microwave (up to 6 GHz)
The 60-6000 MHz range enables measurements on many services beyond broadcast and aviation, including land mobile radio and public-safety systems, cellular networks (2G/3G/4G/LTE and 5G NR), and wireless links (WLAN/Wi-Fi, ISM and other regional allocations). This makes the family suitable for multi-service monitoring in Europe and abroad, with the flexibility needed for different national band plans.
Accessories and practical setups
Accessories typically support fast deployment and repeatable results in the field: mounts for fixed sites, portable supports, vehicle solutions (including magnetic options), adapters and interconnections for professional instruments, and dedicated equipment to keep the measurement chain stable and consistent.
