Do you have experience on connecting a Sub-1GHz transceiver to public TV antenna?

HKPhysicist

Dear RF Engineers and Applied Physicists,

What are your experiences on connecting a Sub-1GHz transceiver to a public TV antenna?  Thinking

Since I live in a very dense city with skyscrapers, I cannot set up my own antenna outside my building.  Then, I want to wire my own SMA Male to TV Male Plug coaxial cable.  This will connect my Sub-1GHz transmitter directly to my building`s public TV antenna.

The next step is to connect my ISM band Sub-1GHz transmitter to test a receiver several hundred metres to 1km away.

Who have experience on this?  What else should I do to improve the transmission or communication?  I guess a high quality Element14 MultiComp coaxial cable can serve well.  Satellite

Thanks for your opinions.  Nerd

    From the original description - you are building a repeater - receive a signal and re-transit it.

    Hence you have to have means  to "receive signal" via receiving antenna and then means to re-transmit the signal  via

    "transmit  antenna".  Both antennas must be designed for specific frequency and desired "directionality" etc.

    The actual "repeater" hardware is your choice. In  general  RF output power in determining factor etc.
