ew100.book Seite 88 Mittwoch, 8. Oktober 2003 12:52 12 Wireless transmission systems With the ew 100 G2 series, Sennheiser puts an end to cable tangles and enables complete freedom of movement. The systems operate exclusively in the UHF band. UHF transmission is extremely reliable and is far less prone to interference than the overcrowded VHF band – harmonics from mains units, fluorescent tubes, refrigerators, computers, etc. are virtually eliminated.
ew100.book Seite 89 Mittwoch, 8. Oktober 2003 12:52 12 Diversity reception The EM 100 G2 receiver operates on the “true diversity” principle: A receiving antenna receives not only the electromagnetic waves which reach it by a direct path, but also the reflections of these waves which are created in the room by walls, windows, ceilings and fittings. When these waves are superimposed, destructive interference occurs, which can also be called “field strength gaps”.
