Rod antennas (included in the delivery) The EM 6000 can be operated throughout the entire frequency spectrum with the UHF rod antennas included in the delivery.

  • Page 148: Losses Due To Cable Properties And Length

    Recommendations for using antennas • Omni-directional antennas receive the signals from every horizontal direction equally and are not directed. • Directional antennas amplify signals from a specific direction while the remaining signals are attenuated. If you want to receive only trans- mitters from a specific direction, for example, if the antennas are next to a stage, we recommend using this type of antenna because it can sig- nificantly improve the reception quality.

  • Page 149: Equidistant Frequency Grid

    Equidistant frequency grid Equidistant frequency grid The Digital 6000 series can work in an equidistant frequency grid because the transmitter and receiver are free from intermodulation. In this case, all of the assigned frequencies are the same distance from each other.
