Tekbox TBMA4 / Biconical Antenna, 1 GHz to 8 GHz

CISPR 16 divides the frequency range into several bands and defines specific antennas for each of these bands. For the frequency range above 1 GHz, CISPR 16 specifies the use of broadband horn antennas for radiated noise measurements.Standard broadband horn antennas for EMC applications are quite expensive and cover a frequency range that is much wider than that of typical, low-cost EMC pre-compliance spectrum analyzers. To offer an antenna optimized for EMC pre-compliance measurements above 1 GHz, Tekbox has developed the TBMA4 dual-horn measurement antenna, which, with its moderate price, is an affordable solution for EMC pre-compliance measurements and the generation of defined field strengths.The TBMA4 is characterized from 1 GHz to 8 GHz and has a directional pattern typical of double-web horn antennas. The TBMA4 is a small double-web horn antenna whose radiating element consists of an edge-plated PCB substrate
