Overview
The DAB-ARYCKM-D-48X is a professional directional 4-element Yagi antenna designed for Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) Band III, 174–240 MHz. With a typical bandwidth of 20 MHz and maximum gain of 10.2 dBi, it provides focused coverage with optimized E-plane and H-plane beamwidths.
Manufactured in Italy, the antenna is available in stainless steel or aluminium construction, with optional PVC radome for severe climatic conditions. All metallic parts are DC-grounded for lightning protection.
Technical Highlights
The ARYCKM-D-48X is a robust 4-element Yagi antenna designed for DAB VHF band 174–240 MHz. With a 20 MHz bandwidth and a maximum gain of 10.2 dBi, it provides reliable performance in professional broadcast and reception systems. The antenna ensures linear polarization (vertical or horizontal) and low reflection with VSWR ≤ 1.5:1.
Constructed with stainless-steel support and radiant dipole in aluminum or stainless steel, it withstands harsh climatic conditions. Lightning protection is guaranteed by full DC grounding of all metal parts. Connector options include N-female (500 W) and 7/16”-female (1000 W).
