New
Broadband Antenna for Immunity Measurements Offers Wide Frequency Range,
Excellent Performance, and Modest Size
Cedar
Park, Texas
– EMC Automation introduces the LPDA-0803 Log Periodic Dipole Array
antenna for IEC-1000-4-3 radiated immunity testing. The LPDA-0803 offers
an ultra-wide operating frequency range of 80 MHz to 3 GHz and a modest
size, making it ideal for immunity measurements in small and compact
anechoic chambers. With its
broad frequency range, the LPDA-0803 can replace two antennas, improving
test efficiency by eliminating the need to change antennas mid-test.
The
LPDA-0803 features strong performance over its entire operating frequency
range, with enhanced gain over standard log periodic antennas (6 dBi at
the lower frequencies and 8 dBi at the higher frequencies), low VSWR,
reduced cross polarization, and improved pattern symmetry at the high end.
The LPDA-0803 also offers high power handling capabilities (500W CW),
making it an ideal choice for the majority of immunity test applications.
A robust mechanical design, a highly durable feed, and a resilient gold
chromate finish are attributes that were designed into the LPDA-0803 to
enable it to withstand the rigors of daily use in EMC test environments.
The LPDA-0803 is individually calibrated according to ANSI 63.5, with
signed certificate of calibration.
"Our
experience shows it is crucial that antenna specifications be designed in
light of the intended application," says Jim McLean, Chief Scientist at EMC Automation.
"In this case, the LPDA-0803 is designed to offer the
best performance of an antenna of this form-factor over the broad
operating frequency range required by IEC 1000-4-3."
