RF Venue just launched a new version of the Diversity Omni Antenna, originally designed for applications where wider reception is preferred over directionality and antenna gain. And now, for fixed installations where aesthetics are important, RF Venue has folded the elements of the Diversity Fin Antenna into a low-profile housing that can be installed on a wall or ceiling to deliver invisible performance – the Architectural Diversity Antenna.

When more than one channel of wireless microphone is in use and receivers co-located, the common “antenna farm” of small, chassis-mounted whip antennas can quickly create issues. Conventional wireless microphone external antenna setups require mounting a pair of antennas to achieve diversity performance.

The patented technology of the RF Venue Diversity Fin Antenna incorporates, in a single package, a vertical LDPA “paddle” element for reception of vertically polarized signals and a dipole antenna in an orthogonal (right angle) orientation for horizontally polarized signals, ensuring dropout-free performance, regardless of the angle a wireless microphone transmitter is being held or worn relative to the antenna.

The Diversity Architectural Antenna delivers that same directional cross polarized diversity reception in its low-profile housing that can be painted to match any interior for a nearly invisible visual appearance. Cross polarized, omnidirectional reception is delivered by the Diversity Omni Antenna.
