MORE ABOUT FM ANTENNAS
Good
FM
reception depends
not only on receiver sensitivity but on the
quality of the received signals. This is determined by the signal strength,
the presence of multipath signals * and the geographic location of the FM
station. To get the best from your receiver, use an antenna suited to your
location.
A ribbon dipole and rabbit-ear anten-
nas pick up signal from both front and
rear equally well and are suited for
reception in a strong signal area.
A dipole antenna with reflector has in-
creased sensitivity to front signal and
reduced sensitivity to rear signals.
A multi-element type has a narrower
pickup pattern with high frontal sen-
sitivity and superior rejection of rear
and multipath signals. To receive a
distant or weak signal station, use
this type of antenna.
* Multipath reception
Multipath interference is caused by signal reflections from hills or struc-
tures that reach the receiving antenna perceptibly later than a direct
signal. The effects of a multipath
condition
appear
as high-frequency
noise, distortion, and loss of channel
separation
of the FM stereo pro-
grams. These
effects may
be eliminated,
to a great extent, by using a
coaxial lead-in and a good directional antenna that is correctly oriented.
