Antenna Grounding and Safety Warning
1. Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a building, should
not cross over open conductors of electric light of power circuits.They should
be kept away from all circuits to avoid the possibility of accidental contact.
2. Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be connected
with an antenna discharge unit. Antenna discharge units (or Lightning
Arrestors) should be located outside the building or inside the building
between the point of entrance of the lead-in and the TV, and as near as prac-
tical to the entrance of the conductors to the building.
About the Design of Your Antenna
The design process of this antenna began in the very early days of DTV trans-
mission, largely because of frustration with the selection of antennas on the mar-
ket.The old antennas were all legacy technology from the 1950s. Popular think-
ing of the early days of DTV transmitting was "radio waves have not changed so
why should we use different antennas for DTV?" Radio waves have not changed
but our transmission system and performance expectations have. We designed
this antenna to be an integral part of the DTV transmission and reception chain.
It is designed to maximize the strengths and minimize the weakness of the new
ATSC system. It was designed to work with the DTV tuner and capture a more
stable signal so the DTV tuner can do its job with a minimum of effort and cre-
ate a razor sharp and stable picture on your DTV.This antenna was not designed
by simulated theoretical physics; it was designed to work with the physics of the
real world, the real world of changing weather, cities and mountains.This anten-
na will work in areas where others completely fail or provide marginal results
with part time reception.
