General about radio and TV reception at sea
The part of the frequency spectrum used for terrestrial broadcasting spans from
approximately 100 kHz to 890 MHz.
Naval Electronics AB is specialised on marine reception and distribution of these radio-

and TV-signals. The terrestrial antennas are directional or omni-directional for marine
use and the amplifiers are adapted to demands existing onboard a vessel. The
performance of the Radio/TV connected to each single outlet is to a great deal
depending on the calculation of the distribution system. For optimum design of the
distribution system please refer to our Naval Handbook which describes this more in
detail.
Recommended signal levels for good reception:
Band Frequencies Lowest signal (dBµV) Highest signal (dBµV)

I 40-68MHz 60 84
II 87-108 MHz 60 84
III 174-230 MHz 60 84
IV-V 470-860 MHz 66 84
AM 0,15-25 MHz 40 80
FM 68-108 MHz 56 80
The signal level must not be over 117 dBµV in any place of the system.
General remarks
In some cases the gain level of the amplifiers is not sufficient for compensating the
system losses, due to long cables. The problem can be solved either by an alternation
of the cable path or by an installation of one or more line amplifiers.
In some ports severe reflections from buildings, cranes etc. can cause distortion to the
TV-picture due to the characteristics of the omni-directional receiving antenna. There is
no remedy for such a problem.

Installation
1.The Naval active antenna
1.1 Check that the antenna is equipped with a correct type of amplifier (red
colour for TV-FM, yellow for TV-FM-AM). When inserted into the antenna
housing, the amplifier must be locked and sealed in accordance with the
description on the data sheet for the antenna.
1.2 Mount the antenna as high and clear away as possible from other objects
(funnels, transmitter antennas, radar etc.), The best location is in the
masthead with free paths in all directions. Make sure that the antenna is not
mounted in the beam of a radar.
1.3 Connect the antenna to the coaxial downlead. This connection must be
carefully sealed and made waterproof (see antenna data sheet).
1.4 Unload the antenna connection from mechanical tension. Secure the
downlead by means of cable clamps. Avoid excessive bending of the coaxial
cable.
2.The amplifier unit

2.1 Mount the cabinet on the bulkhead by means of four screws or bolts. It is
important that the ambient humidity and temperature is not to high.
2.2 Pass the input/output coaxial cables as well as the supply voltage cable (and
if used relay cable) through the cable inlets in the bottom of the cabinet. Strip
the coax carefully. Be sure not to nick the inner-conductor and check for
short-circuiting braid filaments.
Stripping of coaxial cable for supplied twist on connectors.
2.3 Mount the coaxial connectors by twisting on the supplied connectors. Do not
bend the coaxial cable over sharp edges and secure it by means of clamps.
6500-4

2.4 Connect all cables to the amplifiers and power supply except from the
antenna downlead.
3.Adjustments
The cassette amplifiers are supplied with 24V DC from the internal power supply, and
the antenna with 15V DC, providing that the mains supply voltage is switched on and
the cut-out circuit is not activated (0 VDC at the relay connections).
3.1 Adjustment procedure if no measuring equipment is available:
3.1.1 Connect the antenna downlead to the power supply.
3.1.2 Check the TV-pictures and radio reception along the branch lines.
3.1.3 Decrease, if necessary, the gain of the amplifier(s) by means of the manual
attenuator (turn anti-clock-wise, max. 3 turns) until a clear and steady picture,
(clean sound on radio) is obtained.
3.2 Adjustment procedure using signal generator and measuring receiver.
3.2.1 Connect the signal generator to the antenna connection on the power box.
Attention The generator output must be DC-blocked
3.2.2 Feed a signal with a calibrated amplitude (e.g. 60 dBµV) and with a
frequency within the passband of the cassette amplifier, which is to be
adjusted.
3.2.3 Measure the signal at the outlet with the lowest calculated level in each
branch line. The signal level should be equal to the generator output.
Adjustment is possible by means of the manual attenuator at the cassette.
3.2.4 Repeat step 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 for the other amplifier units.
3.2.5 Connect the antenna downlead to the power supply and check the picture.

TV-FM-AM antenna Mark 22CA
Mark 22CA is an omni-directional wide band antenna
0.1-30 and 40-860 MHz) TV-FM-AM, for maritime purposes.
It is based on a construction of circular dipoles coupled
to an amplifier via a broadband filter.
High efficiency suppression filters prevent
interference from VHF telephone and AIS
transmitters.
Mark 22CA is made of ABS plastic and
filled with polyurethane foam. Mounting
base in saltwater proof special alloy and
bolts in stainless acid-proof steel.
Mark 22CA is tested by “Det Norske
Veritas” for the same approval as for radar
equipment.
The advantages of Mark 22CA compa-red to an
Yagi antenna are:
• Rigid, non-corrodible, maintenance free construction.
• Small dimensions and easy to mount. • Replaceable amplifier.
• Omni-directional, no adjustments. • Integrated VHF/AIS suppression filters.
