Directional antenna LIBOX 19-element with balun (symmetrizer) for satellite and TV reception

Directional 19-element LIBOX antenna with integrated balun is designed for receiving terrestrial TV and related satellite signals where a focused, higher-gain reception in a specific direction is required. The multi-element configuration concentrates the antenna's sensitivity toward the desired transmitter or satellite feed, while the supplied balun matches the antenna's balanced output to standard coaxial cable input for easier connection to receivers and tuners.

Advantages

The 19-element design increases directivity and gain compared with simpler dipole or small-array antennas, improving signal quality from distant or low-power transmitters. The integrated balun simplifies installation by providing impedance matching to 75 Ω coaxial cable, reducing the need for separate matching devices. Its compact form factor and robust element layout make it suitable for mounting on masts or poles in domestic and small commercial installations.

Suitable for

• Reception of terrestrial digital and analog TV signals in a fixed direction
• Use on antenna masts for home or small building installations
• Improving reception from distant or low-elevation transmitters
• Integration with receivers, set-top boxes and distribution amplifiers

Key specifications

• Directional multi-element Yagi-style antenna with 19 elements for increased directivity
• Integrated balun (symmetrizer) for impedance matching to coaxial cable
• Designed for terrestrial TV and satellite-related signal reception
• Suitable for mast or pole mounting in outdoor installations
• Metal element construction for durability and stable performance

How to use

Mount the antenna securely on a suitable mast or pole with the elements oriented toward the target transmitter or satellite feed. Connect the antenna output to the coaxial cable via the integrated balun, and route the cable to your TV tuner, set-top box or receiver. Adjust the antenna azimuth and elevation if possible for optimal signal level and lock onto channels using your receiver's signal meter or on-screen diagnostics. Ensure all connections are weatherproofed where exposed to the elements.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the antenna at the highest feasible mounting point with a clear line of sight to the transmitter. If reception remains marginal, check cable quality, minimize connector losses, and consider using a masthead amplifier or multi-room distribution amplifier only after verifying signal levels to avoid overloading the receiver.
