Compatibility
Fiplex lists the same antenna for two other VHF bands: BDA-YDA155165-7-1 covers 155 to 165 MHz and BDA-YDA165175-7-1 covers 165 to 175 MHz. Check that the antenna's band matches the frequency your passive DAS donates. See more Fiplex by Honeywell products.
FAQ
What is a donor antenna? It is the directional antenna aimed at the radio tower or repeater site; it feeds the signal into the passive DAS inside the building.
Is the antenna directional? Yes. It is a Yagi with a 58 degree horizontal beamwidth, so it must be aimed at the source, and its 50 ohm input impedance and N female connector set the cable and connector type used on the feed line.
