3180 Broadband Mini-Bicon Antenna

Key Features

• 30 MHz - 1 GHz Frequency Range
• Flexible Mounting System
• Ideal for:
  -- Chamber Characterization
  -- Broadband Spectrum Monitoring
• Omni-directional Pattern Conforms with CISPR-16

Description

The Model 3180’s uniquely designed elements provide a omni-directional pattern, without the main radiation beam splitting into two lobes in the elevation cut.

The Model 3180 is ideal for the free space NSA (FSNSA) test for fully anechoic rooms. Its small size allows for harmonic monitoring when testing per the IEC 61000-4-3.

FEATURES

Frequency Range

The Model 3180 covers the traditional frequency range EMC measurements. Additionally, the Model 3180 covers all of the VHF and part of the UHF bands, making it ideal for spectrum monitoring of FM, TV and some cellular phones.

Radiation Pattern

The Model 3180 has been designed to have a radiation pattern that meets the requirement of CISPR-16. The elements have been optimized to avoid any splitting of the main radiation beam in the elevation cut.

Flexible Mounting System

The Model 3180 antenna includes both an EMCO block mount and a rear "stinger" mount.
