29 Years of Engineering for Extreme Conditions
For nearly three decades, we’ve been designing and manufacturing FM antennas that perform reliably in the toughest conditions: from scorching heat and high humidity to tower installations exposed to wind, rain, and corrosion.
Thanks to their robust construction and optimized electrical design, our antennas deliver stable, high-efficiency performance even in environments where others fail.
Why do they choose AAREFF?
Three simple but very important things:
High Quality
Our FM antennas are engineered for low VSWR, high efficiency, and strong mechanical durability. They outperform cheap copies and match the standards of top global brands.
Do You Have A Question?Low Cost
Despite the superior engineering and specifications, our FM antennas are affordable. Click on any of the antenna icons below to see the price including shipping.
Do You Have A Question?Reliability
We are so confident in the durability and reliability of our antennas that we offer a 5 year warranty. Very few competitors –and certainly not the overpriced ones– can match this level of trust.
Do You Have A Question?The Perfect Antenna for Your Station: How to Choose Without Mistakes
Choosing the right antenna is just as important as selecting the transmitter. The antenna determines how far your signal will reach and how clear it will sound. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the best choice.
Step 1: Think about your coverage type
- Single dipole: Recommended for small projects, testing, or local stations that only need to cover a few kilometers.
- Multiple panels (2, 4, or 8): Each additional panel increases gain and coverage. Ideal for professional stations looking to reach a wider audience.
- Omnidirectional: Distribute the signal in all directions, useful in cities or areas where you want full-round coverage.
- Directional: Focus the signal toward a specific area. The best choice when your audience is in one direction or when you want to avoid interference in other zones.
Step 2: Consider the installation environment
- Tower height: The higher the tower, the greater the actual coverage.
- Terrain: Mountainous areas or obstacles require more gain or directionality.
- Climate: Our antennas are built from aluminum and stainless steel to withstand tropical and coastal environments, but we always recommend professional installation and basic maintenance.
Step 3: Match it with your transmitter
A well-chosen antenna can make a small transmitter sound much farther than expected. And in higher-power systems, a properly installed antenna array can multiply coverage without the need to increase transmitter wattage.
Aareff antennas are not just aluminum and bolts—they are the result of more than 25 years of experience in manufacturing broadcast equipment. Easy to install, durable, and with proven performance in over 100 countries.

If you are comparing our prices to other vendors, remember that the prices of our FM antennas INCLUDE free shipping.
Frequently Asked Questions about Antennas
What impedance do Aareff antennas have?
All our FM antennas are designed for 50 ohms, ensuring compatibility with all professional FM transmitters on the market.
What is the gain of the antennas?
- Single dipole: 2.1 dBi (0 dBd)
- 5/8 wave vertical: 4.7 or 4.8 dBi
- Multi-panel arrays: 4.8 – 11 dBi
This translates into greater coverage with the same transmission power.
What VSWR can I expect?
All our antennas are tuned to a VSWR of less than or equal to 1.5 across all operating frequencies, guaranteeing minimal loss and maximum power transfe
Can I tune the antenna to a specific frequency?
Yes, depending on the model:
- Broadband tunable antennas can be adjusted to any frequency within 87.5 – 108 MHz for best performance.
- Fixed broadband antennas require no calibration, as they operate across the full FM band with no additional adjustments.
What is the typical bandwidth of your antennas?
It depends on the type of antenna. We have broadband antennas that work across the entire FM band (87.5 – 108 MHz) with no adjustment required, as well as tunable models that allow performance optimization at a specific frequency within the band.
What maximum power can they handle?
Our antennas handle from 50W up to 3kW, depending on the model.
- Mag-mount up to 300 W
- Single dipoles 50–200 W
- Stacked dipoles: 400 W (2), 800 W (4), 1.6 kW (8)
- 5/8-wave up to 1–2 kW
- Broadband dipoles 0.8–3 kW
- Circulars up to 3 kW
For higher powers, multi-panel arrays with Aareff Wilkinson combiners are used.
Can multiple antennas be installed together?
Yes. We manufacture multi-panel kits with combiners and splitters that allow 2, 4, or 8 antennas to be installed, providing higher gain, broader coverage, and improved radiation pattern control.
What materials do you use to withstand outdoor conditions?
We use aluminum, stainless steel, and UHMW PE. All components are designed to withstand rain, strong sun, salt, and extreme environments without losing efficiency.
What happens if the antenna gets wet or covered in salt?
Nothing. The antennas are designed to operate outdoors 24/7 for years, even in coastal areas. No additional sealing is required.
Can they be used with transmitters other than Aareff?
Yes, any professional 50-ohm transmitter will work perfectly. However, we recommend our transmitters because they have been designed and tested together with our antennas for maximum efficiency.
Do you provide support for installation and setup?
Yes. We supply a detailed assembly guide.
Do you ship antennas internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide using trusted couriers, with antennas carefully packaged to prevent damage in transit. Shipping times vary depending on the destination, but we regularly send equipment to Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
Don't have the transmitter yet? Take a look at our selection and compliance

As long as an Aareff transmitter and antenna are being used together, we can assure that the two will be compliant with the highest standards of broadcasting:
Compliance
Our stereo versions with audio processing and limiting meet all the regulatory standards required out of the box and pre configured. In fact if you send us a copy of your permit and it's conditions, we'll set up your FM transmitter to the exact specification. Our FM transmitters comply with EU/CE harmonized standards and FCC technical requirements for FM broadcasting. More information HERE
Service Life
Our FM transmitters are guaranteed for 5 years, however the lifetime of of the product is considerably longer than this. It is normal to expect 10 years plus from our FM transmitters if they are serviced, cleaned and maintained in an environment of 30 degrees or less. We have clients that are still using our FM transmitters that were installed in the 1990s.
Operating Temperatures
All our FM transmitters are designed, tested and guaranteed to work with ease over the temperature range -20C to +40C, not only a few hours at these extreme limits, but months and years of continuous 24/7 operation. The FM transmitters on this page will stay powered permanently. It doesn't matter where you are, the Antarctic or the equator, our FM transmitters will keep going every day keeping your station on air.
AC Voltage Range
You can power our FM transmitters in the UK on square pin plugs, Europe on round pin plugs, USA on flat pin plugs or even Australia and NZ on slanted pin plugs. The voltage can be anything from 90 to 260 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz, our FM transmitters will work on any of them with total reliability. All our FM transmitters between 50 and 1000 watts can be be specially ordered to work on 48v DC for solar powered systems.
