Installations may be classified according to the number of users served. An individual antenna serves one user, even though it may be associated with several receivers. A collective antenna serves all or part of a building and hence a larger number of users.

This Report applies to antenna systems for individual or collective use designed to receive television broadcasts in bands 8 (VHF) and 9 (UHF) and also to the associated equipment of such systems: the transmission line, amplifiers, couplers, etc., used to convey the signal to the television receivers, taking into account the transmission of data signals (e.g. teletext) in the structure of the television waveform.

— It does not apply to television antennas for cabled distribution systems.

— Reference is made to IEC Publication No. 728-1 (1986).

— The relevant figures identified by "*" are based on investigations carried out in Italy [CCIR, 1982-86a, b].
