Wideband horn antenna supports EMC test from 200 MHz to 2 GHz
Link Microtek, a manufacturer of RF and microwave components and subsystems, has introduced a new open-sided, linearly polarized horn antenna that operates over the 200-MHz to 2-GHz frequency range.
Primarily intended for EMC test applications, the AM0.2-2HA antenna can be used as either transmitter or receiver for measurements of products’ immunity or emissions in accordance with international EMC standards laid down by organizations such as IEC, ISO, and CISPR.
The antenna can handle up to 200 W of microwave power and features a low average VSWR of 1.6:1, a field-strength capability of 250 V/m at 1 m, and a nominal impedance of 50 Ω. It also offers excellent gain uniformity, with gain only varying from 5 to 9 dBi over the entire operating frequency range.
The horn antenna is equipped with a precision N-type female connector and a mounting bracket that enables the user to switch between vertical and horizontal polarizations. A standard camera thread allows easy mounting on a wide variety of tripods.
Designed and manufactured at Link’s premises in Basingstoke, the AM0.2-2HA antenna is fabricated from aluminum to provide a rugged, corrosion-resistant construction. It measures 980 x 980 x 730 mm, yet weighs only 12 kg.
