Providing uniform gain, low VSWR and broadband frequency range BE-3115 Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antenna is ideally suited for IEC 61000-4-3 and MIL-STD 461E immunity tests and ANSI C63.4 and EN 55022 emissions testing. As a set, this linearly polarized broadband antenna has an average VSWR of less than 1.6 to 1 and cover a multi-octave bandwidth of 1 GHz to 18 GHz. This antenna is specifically designed for EMI measurements, but can also be used for EW, antenna gain and pattern measurement, surveillance, and other applications.
The mounting brackets for Model 3115 is adjustable for changing polarization of the antenna. Standard 1/4 in x 20 threads are used on the mounting brackets of all double-ridge waveguides for mounting on a BE tripod or most other tripods. The Model 3115 has excellent gain and VSWR characteristics. This antenna is small and portable with a length of 24.4 cm (9.6 in). The feed system uses a Precision Type N female connector so the antenna can handle considerable power with low losses above 12 GHz.
Double-ridged waveguide antennas are constructed of light-weight corrosion-resistant aluminium and fiberglass, providing years of trouble-free indoor and outdoor service. To maximize performance, Type N connectors are used.
