ers also can cause strong RFI. Therefore, the following precautions can be taken concerning the receiver in-
stallation:
Antenna:
A poorly installed antenna or receiver feedline is one cause of interference. Interference is seldom present
when a long-wire antenna, installed in the clear, together with shielded cable are used. However, if a simple
active antenna is used in the neighborhood of the decoder or monitor, interference can be expected, espe-
cially at higher frequencies. In general, active antennas are more susceptible to interference.
Receiver:
Often RFI is radiated directly into the receiver because it does not have sufficient shielding. Many receivers
need a 50 Ohm load on the antenna input and are very susceptible to interference if this is not the case. An
antenna tuner (so-called match box) can be used to transform the antenna impedance to 50 Ohms.
HF cabling:
All the antenna lines inside a house should be run with shielded HF cable.
AC line interference:
Often video monitors and other electronic equipment radiate into the AC line and enter the receiver or active
antenna via their power supplies. This type of interference can be reduced by means of an AC line filter.
Ground:
The best ground is the cold water metal pipe as the hot water pipe is not always grounded. A good receiver
ground is always recommended, not in the least for your own safety.
Placement of the decoder:
Despite the decoder's double shielding, it is still possible that interference persists in the near vicinity of the
receiver. It helps in this case to change the location of the decoder with respect to the receiver. Interference
from video monitors can often be remedied only by using this method.
