Televes

Product Overview

The DINOVA BOSS antenna is a radomized unit with a low visual impact, specifically designed for locations where aesthetics are important. It is ideal for facades, historic buildings, protected areas, and single-family homes, including balconies. The antenna is a 7-element directional Yagi type, manufactured with Microstrip technology.

The BOSS Tech system automatically controls the received signal level (whether very high or very low) to always provide an optimal output level. Its new design with TForce technology makes this intelligent device even more versatile. The product is RED compliant.

Key Features

• High dynamic range: Allows reception of quality TV in a wide variety of critical situations, from areas with very weak signals to installations with high reception levels.
• Increased TDT coverage area.
• Very high gain.
• More stable reception: Capable of withstanding signal variations or fading without affecting the TV installation.
• Allows installation for horizontal and vertical polarization.
• Incorporates a SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filter for high rejection of LTE interference from telephony, due to the use of 5G/4G devices.
• Two operating modes:
  • Intelligent mode (powering the antenna): The BOSS offers automatic regulation to correct signal fluctuations and maintain the optimal output level.
  • Passive mode: The signal is passed through (without power).
• Protected against corrosion:
  • Fiberglass-reinforced clamp support: Does not rust, reduces antenna weight, and improves material performance in adverse weather.
  • RPR clamp (Reactive Protective Coating): Offers robust fixing.
  • High-resistance radome for salinity, humidity, and other adverse climatic phenomena (IP 53).
• Low power consumption in intelligent mode.
• Easy mounting. Kits with all necessary accessories for installation can also be purchased.

Technology Highlights

TForce Technology

Televes advances beyond the silicon era into a new era of electronic component design, enabling integrated circuits that operate in the microwave frequency band. TForce is based on manufacturing with semiconductor compounds like gallium arsenide (GaAs), providing integrated products with hard-to-match functionalities. Televes has reinvented the antenna concept. Previously, an antenna was merely a capture element for TV installations, where gain and directivity were key features. The introduction of an intelligent device like BOSS endowed the antenna with the ability to receive very weak signals without the risk of being affected by very strong signals, where fluctuations did not impact the final result. The concept of "Dynamic Range" emerges as the most notable quality parameter. The creation of a BOSS with TForce technology, based on the use of MMIC components, is an extraordinary milestone in optimizing Dynamic Range. Technology that previously enabled the recovery of lost signals from distant satellites now makes it possible to increase coverage range in TDT installations.

FIBERGLASS REINFORCED: HOW DOES FIBERGLASS IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS?

Fiberglass-reinforced plastics last longer, are anti-magnetic, fire-resistant, and provide excellent electrical insulation. The main reasons why fiberglass improves our antennas are:

• Immune to corrosion.
• Reduced weight, making installation simpler.
• Flexibility, improving material performance in adverse climatic conditions.

Diagrams

Antenna Image Description

A white, compact, modern-looking TV antenna designed for outdoor installation on facades or balconies. It features a radome cover and a visible mounting bracket.

Wiring Diagram Description (Page 5)

This diagram illustrates typical installation scenarios. It shows the DINOVA BOSS antenna connected via coaxial cable (MATV) to a power supply unit or injector. The injector can be powered by a mains voltage (196-264V~) or a low-voltage DC source (12-24 Vdc). The MATV signal is then distributed to one or more televisions. An alternative setup shows the antenna powered directly by a 12-24V DC battery.

Radiation Pattern Description (Page 6)

This is a polar plot representing the antenna's radiation pattern in the UHF frequency band. The plot shows two main lobes indicating the direction of maximum signal reception and transmission. The red line (labeled P.E) represents the pattern for vertical polarization, and the blue line (labeled P.H) represents the pattern for horizontal polarization. The diagram illustrates the antenna's directional characteristics.
