RF Technologies’ ChromaStar™ 2030 Series are Precision Designed and Built Low-Power Side-
mounted DTV television transmitting antennas. These high-performance antennas are designed
for single or dual channel operation. The CS-2030 is a true center fed antenna, with very low
group delay and V.S.W.R. profiles needed for DTV and Mobile TV transmissions. With a
standard power input rating of 7.5 kW at 700 MHz (some models available in a 12.5 kW
custom input rating), the CS-2030 antennas are great for DTV and class A applications.
A wide range of standard, and custom azimuth patterns are available in horizontal or
circular polarization. The CS-2030 is available in 8 to 32 bay models, in two bay increments.

Designed to Meet Your Needs
The unique ChromaStar™ antenna design ensures a high purity radiated signal, essential for high quality digital, and/or analog, television
broadcasting. Its proven design also enables transmission of two adjacent-channel or single channel low-power analog or digital television
broadcast stations. The side-mounted design exhibits excellent tower loading reduction while at the same time providing broadcasters with
low-power applications with high antenna gain requirements. The unique TranStar™ antenna feed system that is available with all of
RFT’s ChromaStar antennas allows for extremely high V.S.W.R, gain and elevation pattern stability, over a full 12 MHz portion of the band,
(two contiguous television channels).

Constructed with Efficiency in Mind

The ChromaStar™ 2030 Low-Power Side-Mounted antenna is constructed in a high-strength passivated aluminum Transverse
Electromagnetic, (TEM), Mode pylon designed to be mounted directly to the side of virtually any supporting tower or structure. Each
radiating element or slot along the aperture of the antenna is equipped with RFT's patent-pending high efficiency broadband E-Magnex™
electromagnetic coupling structures to efficiently and smoothly transmit a high-purity television signal.

Rugged Construction
The CS-2030 Side-Mounted antenna is constructed with Passivated high strength Aluminum. The antenna consists of a center fed 3-1/8”
EIA input tee and two pylon sections that bolt together. There are no external cables or power dividers with this robust design. Custom
designed stainless steel brackets are supplied with each antenna.

The CS-2030 antenna is fully protected by a high-density polyethylene radome, ultra-low loss and stabilized against degradation from U.V. radiation in sunlight. In addition, every portion of the antenna throughout is firmly bonded to DC ground, ensuring enhanced protection of the antenna and transmitting equipment during lightning storms.
