Aerial system with diversity function
Aerial system with diversity function
“symphony” and (as of MY 02) “concert” radios feature an aerial system with diversity function. This is designed to enhance and optimise reception quality.
In addition to the roof aerial with amplifier, use is made of extra aerials with amplifier in the rear window.
The individual aerials with amplifier are connected via the aerial selection control unit -J515- (diversity box).
The signal received by the radio via the aerial wire (HF) is checked and the result output again by way of an additional aerial connection (IF).
Information on the test result is then passed to the aerial selection control unit -J515-. If the aerial signal is too weak, the control unit switches to a different aerial (diversity function).
There are no visible or audible signs of this switching process.
