How to choose an antenna for digital television
The choice of an antenna for digital television depends on a number of important factors that should be considered before purchase. “KP” gives recommendations for finding a suitable device.
Indoor or outdoor
Indoor antennas are installed indoors. Reception on them is possible only where the signal level is high enough. For example, if a user lives near a TV tower, such places are called a zone of reliable reception.
Outdoor antennas have the best parameters and can be used in most places, including country houses and cottages. Installing an outdoor antenna requires considerable effort and some experience, but may provide better reception.
Signal
During the construction of a digital terrestrial television network in Our Country, the DVB-T2 standard was adopted as the main one. To receive it, the most budgetary antenna, which operates in the UHF range, is enough. Today, at least 2 channels broadcast in DVB-T20 format. They are divided into two packages, the so-called multiplexes. Both packages are free to view.
Features
Like any other electronic device, the antenna has a number of parameters and technical characteristics. But perhaps the only thing the buyer should pay attention to is the antenna gain (gain). It is measured in decibels, and the higher its value, the higher the antenna’s ability to amplify the TV signal.
Installation
Do not forget that after purchase, the antenna must be assembled and adjusted. But before that, in the store, be sure to read the instructions for the device. If it has poor machine translation, errors and inaccuracies, it is better to refuse to purchase an antenna.
The installation of the antenna itself comes down to its correct orientation to the television center. To do this, slowly turn the antenna in a horizontal plane and observe the image quality.
Passive or active
Passive antennas receive and amplify the signal due to the peculiarities of their design (geometry). They are not connected to the electrical network and do not have active amplification elements. Thus, a passive antenna does not introduce its own interference and noise into the received signal. At the same time, in some situations, its capabilities are not enough for high-quality reception.
Active antennas pick up the received signal also due to the amplifier. It should be noted here that the amplifier is a source of its own noise. Therefore, in some cases, interference and distortion may occur in the received television signal.
Placement Locations
An important factor in choosing an antenna is the place where it will be attached. For example, the farther it is from the TV tower, the more amplification the device will need. And at distances over 15 kilometers, only an outdoor antenna can provide good reception.
