Antenna

The   PZF5xx   operates   with   a   ferrite   antenna   which   is   damped   to   match   the

bandwidth needed for the correlation reception.

Assembly of antenna

The antenna has to be mounted as exactly as possible. Turning it out of the main

receive direction will result in less accurate time frames. The antenna must be placed
in   longitudinal   direction   to   the   DCF-transmitter   (Frankfurt).   The   nearness   to
microcomputers   should   be   avoided   and   the   antenna   should   be   installed   with   a
minimum distance of 30 cm to all metal objects, if possible. A distance of several
meters to TV- or computer monitors must be kept.

After switching the PZF5xx to the menu 'PZF STATE', the adjustment of the antenna
can be executed. The displayed value is proportional to the received field strength.
The best method of mounting the antenna is to look for the minimum field strength
and turn the antenna by 90° to maximum then. A high field strength on its own is no
guarantee for good conditions of reception, because interfering signals within the
bandwidth of the receiver also have an effect on the displayed value.

The maximum interference immunity can be found by looking at the autocorrelation
coefficient (in percent) in the menu 'PZF-STAT'. The displayed value should be close
to 99 % for best reception.
