Biconical Antennas

High input handling capability up to 1000 watts CW, and rugged design make this Biconical Antenna excellent for immunity testing.

Biconical antennas model AB-900 is used for emissions and immunity testing to meet various EMC standards It has frequency range of 30 - 300 MHz. The broadband characteristics of the biconical antenna make it a good choice for making sweep measurements and for automated measurement systems.

This biconical antenna operates in the 1 GHz to 6 GHz frequency range and features a dipole-like radiation pattern, the ability to be used as a transmitting or receiving antenna, and a three year warranty. This antenna is ideal for use as a transmit source antenna for site validations above 1 GHz for radiated emissions test site like OATS (open area test sites), anechoic, and semi-anechoic chambers.

For many years most standards called for the use of a half-wave dipole antenna set for frequencies above 80 MHz. However, to reduce test time, broadband antennas such as the biconical antenna and log periodic antennas began to be accepted.

The SAS-542 Folding Biconical Antenna was the first EMC antenna designed for portable compliance testing applications. The Biconical Elements unscrew from the balun and fold neatly into a small size for transportation. For rapid deployment, along with the mobility of a small package, the Folding Biconical elements can be closed similar to an umbrella allowing the antenna to be contained in an optional transit storage case.

This Biconical antenna will provide reliable, repeatable measurements. An ideal solution and a standard workhorse of any EMC test house for compliance testing.

This Biconical antenna has a coaxial wound balun that can handle High fields of RF energy.

The SAS-544F Folding Biconical Antenna was the first EMC antenna designed for portable compliance testing applications. This Biconical Antenna is designed with a coaxial wound balun for increased power capability and intended for both transmitting and receiving high electromagnetic RF fields.
