DINOVA BOSS antenna (LTE700, 2nd Digital Dividend)
Designed for building fronts, balconies, and single-family homes.
Product Overview
The DINOVA BOSS antenna is a radome-enclosed, low visual impact antenna, specifically designed for locations where aesthetics play an important role. It is ideal for building fronts, historic buildings, protected areas, and even single-family homes (balconies). This is a 7-element Yagi directional antenna, manufactured using Microstrip technology.
The integrated BOSS Tech system automatically controls the level of the received signal (whether very high or very low) to always provide an optimal output level. The new design, utilizing TForce technology, makes this intelligent device even more versatile. The product is RED compliant.
Visual Description: A white, low-profile, enclosed antenna with a radome. It appears to be a directional Yagi-type antenna.

Highlights
- High dynamic range: Allows high-quality TV reception in a wide variety of critical situations, from areas with very weak signals to installations with high reception levels.
- DTT coverage area enhancement.
- Very high gain.
- More stable reception: Supports signal variations or fading without impacting the TV installation.
- Mounting options for both horizontal and vertical polarizations.
- LTE-Ready: Equipped with LTE filters to avoid mobile phone signals caused by the use of 5G/4G devices in the environment.
- Two operation modes:
- Intelligent mode (with antenna feeding): BOSS provides automatic control to correct signal fluctuations and maintain optimal output signal level.
- Passive mode (without power supply): The signal passes through.
- Protected against corrosion:
- Clamp support reinforced with glass fiber: does not rust, reduces antenna weight, and improves material outdoor performance.
- The clamp has a Reacting Coating Process (RCP) based on an anti-corrosion treatment, providing a robust mounting.
- The radome is highly resistant to salinity, humidity, and other adverse weather conditions (IP 53).
- Low power consumption in intelligent mode.
- Easy mounting. Can be purchased as a kit, including all necessary accessories for installation.
Technology
TForce Technology: Televes transitions from the traditional silicon to a new era of electronic component design, enabling precise manufacturing of integrated circuits for microwave frequency bands. Utilizing "State of the Art" MMIC technology, TForce is manufactured using semiconductor compounds like gallium arsenide (GaAs), providing products with unparalleled features and performance. Televes has reinvented the antenna concept; the introduction of a smart device like BOSS provides the antenna with the capacity to receive very weak signals without risk from very strong signals, creating a dynamic balance for optimum signal levels – the "dynamic range" concept.
The creation of TForce with BOSS technology using MMIC components is a milestone in optimizing dynamic range, enhancing coverage in DTT installations.
Fiberglass Reinforced: Plastics reinforced with glass fiber last longer, are anti-magnetic, and provide excellent electric insulation. Key benefits for antennas include immunity to corrosion, lightweight for easier mounting, and flexibility for improved performance under adverse weather conditions.
NOVA Series: A special antenna series for restrictive locations, known for pleasing low-impact visual design, ideal where good aesthetics are key.
Application Example
The antenna can be installed in various configurations. One common setup involves powering the antenna with a 12-24 Vdc source, which then distributes the MATV signal to televisions. The power supply unit itself is connected to a 196-264V~ AC source. Alternatively, the antenna can operate in a passive mode where the signal passes through without external power.
Diagram Description: Illustrates two connection scenarios for the antenna. The first shows the antenna powered by a 12-24 Vdc source (connected to 196-264V~ AC) distributing a MATV signal to a TV. The second shows the antenna distributing a MATV signal to a TV, implying passive operation or power from another source.
Radiation Pattern
The radiation pattern for the UHF band indicates the antenna's directional characteristics. The plot shows distinct lobes representing signal strength distribution for both horizontal (P.H.) and vertical (P.E.) polarizations, with the primary signal directed towards the front (0 degrees).
