The B205BSS from ZCG Scalar is a purpose-built broadband VHF DAB radio dipole antenna designed for reliable performance across the 174-230 MHz digital audio broadcast band. Engineered as a sidemount folded dipole, it provides a stable omnidirectional radiation pattern optimised for consistent coverage in DAB radio transmission and VHF broadcast infrastructure applications. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the B205BSS is built for long-term environmental resilience, offering high resistance to corrosion and mechanical degradation in exposed broadcast installations. With a rated 500W power handling capability, it is suited to continuous-duty operation in professional transmission environments where reliability and signal stability are essential. Its electrical design delivers a 0 dBd gain response, prioritising uniform coverage and signal consistency across the full operating band rather than directional focusing. The antenna is fitted with an N-type female connector and supplied with a 1m integrated coaxial cable tail, enabling straightforward integration into existing broadcast RF systems. At 670mm in length, the compact form factor supports efficient deployment on towers and structures where space and wind loading considerations are important. Within the ZCG Scalar broadcast antenna range, the B205BSS is designed specifically for VHF DAB broadcast networks and digital radio transmission systems, delivering dependable wideband performance, structural durability, and stable RF characteristics for fixed infrastructure installations.
