5 best amplifiers for antennas

Antenna amplifier is one of the most important elements of a broadcasting system, which is necessary to improve the quality of a signal at a considerable distance from the broadcasting transponder or with unstable communication with a satellite. It has a directional effect on changing the frequency of the received antenna wave with the subsequent transmission to the appropriate equipment. In addition, these devices can perform an additional function of the splitter - the division of the signal into several streams for displaying pictures on different television screens.

The range of the amplifier market does not enjoy such high popularity of famous manufacturers, and, therefore, does not have a huge number of models sold. However, the whole problem with choosing a good device rests on the elementary ignorance of the main criteria, which is why purchases are very often in vain. Therefore, having carefully researched this segment, we have compiled for you a rating of the best amplifiers for digital and analog television, which are very popular among domestic users.

Top 5 best amplifiers for antennas

5 DVB-T2 Amplifier

DVB-2T digital signal amplifier, despite its somnitic origin with good performance. First, the performance method draws attention: the device's microcircuit is placed in a sealed steel case, which reliably protects it from mechanical impact. True, the amplifier should still provide protection against precipitation, since its location should be as close as possible to the terrestrial antenna itself.

Secondly, purely working parameters turned out to be on the same level. The gain in this model varies within 20-23 dB, and the noise level does not exceed 2-3 dB. The only nuance noted in many consumer reviews: it only supports frequencies from 470 to 900 MHz, thus being an ideal option only for installation in a country house or in a private house outside the city.

4 Locus LA-31

Amplifier for indoor and satellite single-flow antennas, designed to stabilize and improve the quality of signals from 1 to 69 channel. It has an amazing vitality against the background of level (by price) competitors, which is often reported by users in their thematic reviews. Possessing, in general, quite good operational parameters, when connected, the amplifier manifests itself a little unstable, not all the same, it does not go beyond the designated working framework. The gain in this case is from 10 to 22 dB, varying in a chaotic manner throughout the group of supported channels.

Locus LA-31 is installed in the drop cable drop (standard layout), and as close as possible to the antenna output. When complying with the main operating conditions (namely, protection from precipitation) is able to serve for a long time. An excellent device for a budget increase in signal quality at the cottage.

3 Rexant 05-6202

The main purpose of Rexant 05-6202 is to separate the signals into streams, however, to work in this mode, the device just needs to increase the transmitted frequencies. The main advantage of this device is reduced to versatility: supporting the ability to perceive a large frequency range (from 5 to 2500 MHz), it is able to work with on-air, and cable, and even digital television.

Consumers also include a structural parameter among the advantages of this splitter: while analogs have a maximum of two cable connectors, Rexant 05-6202 has three F-type outputs at once, allowing you to send a signal to three sources. Of course, for such a wide functionality (and low cost) I had to pay with reliability: in the process of operation, one of the branches of the splitter can simply refuse.

2 Eurosky SWA-105

Eurosky SWA-105 is a single integrated amplifier in the rating, capable of operating with a frequency band of 174-862 MHz. In other words, its capabilities apply to both cable and terrestrial (digital) television, in connection with which it can be used both within the city and at cottages with private houses. The gain here is an impressive 25 dB, while the level of self-noise does not exceed the threshold of 1.7 dB.

In the accompanying materials, the manufacturer also did not forget to mention the comfortable temperature range at which the circuit is able to function normally. It ranges from -40 to +50 degrees Celsius, which was made possible due to the absence of the body. Judging by user feedback, high-quality signal amplification is observed at a distance of 80 kilometers from the repeater, which is also a worthy result.

1 Alcad AL-200

High-quality television signal amplifier designed for fine adjustment of the centimeter and decimeter wave bands. Equally well manifests itself in the network of cable (indoor antennas) and terrestrial (digital and satellite antennas) television, demonstrating the ability to amplify the frequencies from 40 to 318 and from 470 to 862 MHz. Despite this, with cable broadcasting, the gain efficiency can be tolerated, up to a total lack of efficacy (with frequency variations of 318-470 MHz).

The gain of the Alcad AL-200 on the designated ranges is 14 and 24 dB, respectively, and the noise figure does not exceed 4.5 dB. A nice bonus to the functionality is the ability to split the signal into two streams in order to broadcast the picture to several TVs at once. Despite the high cost of this amplifier is the most popular in Russia, mainly for outstanding parameters of quality and performance.
