FMVMP FM Dipole Antenna 88â108 MHz - Kathrein Scala Division

FMVMP 

FM Dipole Antenna 

88–108 MHz 

The Kathrein Scala Division FMVMP dipole antenna for FM radio 

transmission offers high performance, easy installation, and 

application flexibility. Dipoles may be stacked for more gain and 

higher power handling capacity as required. Arrays include power 

dividers and coax feeders, plus installation hardware. 

Like all Kathrein Scala Division antennas, the FMVMP is made 

of the finest materials using state of the art electrical and 

mechanical designs, resulting in superior performance and long 

service life. All FMVMP antennas feature: 

l 

Triple laminated dipole for superior strength. 

l 

Anodized aluminum and stainless steel construction designed to 

survive extreme weather. 

l 

Internal balun is sealed in a cast aluminum housing to prevent 

moisture ingress and ice damage. 

l 

Entire antenna is at DC ground potential for superior resistance 

to lightning.

Installation note: 

In order to obtain proper impedance matching (minimum VSWR) 

and radiation patterns as shown the FMVMP antennas must be 

attached to a 2.375 inch (60 mm) OD mast that extends at least 

12 inches (305 mm) above and below the antenna dipoles.
