Antenas para Mercedes-Benz CLK430

Exterior Antennas for Mercedes-Benz CLK430

Keep yourself and your Mercedes-Benz CLK-430 sedan well-connected with your choice of car radio antennas. Car antennas come in a variety of shapes, sizes, functions, and frequency compatibilities. These differences enable you to take advantage of functions like GPS navigation, collision-avoidance, cell phone service, and integrated infotainment systems.

Exterior Antennas for Mercedes-Benz CLK430 can support a number of services. Depending on the kind of antennas that you have on your Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class vehicle, you have the option of receiving a number of useful radio services. The kind of services that you get depends on the frequencies that your antennas are sensitive to. Services available by antennas include:

• Remote Keyless Entry: Operating in the 315-434 MHz range, key fobs are ubiquitous, and for good reasons. They enable you to remotely control features like door-locks and engine-starters.
• Cell Phone: Cell phones antennas receive signals in the 850-2400 GHz range. Cell phone frequencies are also used for receiving data services.
• Navigation/GPS: GPS antennas receive radio signals in the 1.575 GHz range, enabling your onboard Mercedes-Benz navigation systems to accurately guide you to your destinations.
• DAB: Operating in the 100-400 MHz range, digital audio broadcasts provide you with an alternative to AM/FM stations.
• Anti-Collision Radar: Collision radar antennas receive signals in the 24-77 GHz range. They give you another layer of protection and help you to avoid dangerous collisions.
• Satellite: Satellite radio stations broadcast in the 1.4-2.3 GHz range. They come in handy when you travel in areas with few terrestrial broadcast stations.

You can mount a variety of antenna types in a variety of locations around your Mercedes-Benz CLK Class. Where you end up putting a specific antenna depends on the kind of antenna it is and the service it is meant to support.

• Mast Antennas: Regular mast antennas work best when placed as high on the vehicle as possible, so a good location for this type of low-frequency antennas is on your cars roof.
• Satellite: Satellite antennas receive signals originating from overhead, making roof placement a solid mounting choice for these models. Common designs include billet, hockey puck, and shark antennas.
• Patch: Patch antennas are small, lightweight, unobtrusive, portable, and efficient. You can mount them in a number of locations around your Mercedes-Benz sedan, including on side-view mirrors, spoilers, and fenders. Patch antennas generally receive frequencies equal or greater than 1GHz, making them useful for picking up signals from SDARS and GPS services.

Poor reception is caused by a number of different factors. Hardware issues often cause reception problems, so all connections, wires, and the structure of the antenna itself should be in good condition. Once hardware components are eliminated, that leaves external causes like weather, distance from broadcast stations, and interference from large buildings/mountains. While it may be hard to compensate for weather-based problems, you can solve interference problems by using multiple antennas mounted in strategic locations. You can also use signal boosters to solve distance-based issues.
