[edit] History
The history of Funke Digital TV dates back to 1957 when Mr. Baayens Sr. started with the production of radio- and TV antennas. Now, after numerous phases of expansion, Funke Digital TV has grown into a company doing business with over 50 countries worldwide.
Now managed by S. Baayens, the son of the founder, the company produces (digital and analogue) radio- and TV antennas and associated electronics such as amplifiers, multiplexers and splitters.
[edit] Company
At their location in Boxtel, Funke Digital TV designs and manufactures all kinds of indoor-, outdoor- and rooftop antennas, designed for all sorts of frequencies, such as FM, Band I, III, IV and V. Funke Digital TV also manufactures OEM antennas for branding, especially for DVB-T providers[1].
[edit] Products
Funke is primarily known for their small indoor- and outdoor DVB-T signal collectors. The DSC210-45T (indoor) and DSC310-345T (outdoor) antennas are being used by several DVB-T providers in various countries worldwide. Larger rooftop aerials such as the DCRS1760 are primarily sold to areas with lower overall reception strengths, such as Russia.
Funke Digital TV is also involved in the upcoming market of incar television. Products as the ADSC420-345T are specially designed for use in combination with the new 'diversity'[2] DVB-T receivers[3]. These receivers can compensate the loss of signal due to the Doppler effect (while driving) by using two antennas placed at different locations in the vehicle.
