The Amplifier Research PWB Log-Periodic Antenna System is a broadband antenna engineered for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, radiated emissions and immunity assessment, and general-purpose RF applications. Operating across 150 kHz to 6 GHz, this antenna delivers consistent performance in demanding laboratory and field testing environments.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: 150 kHz to 6 GHz
• Impedance: 50 Ohms nominal
• VSWR: Typical values below 2:1 across significant frequency coverage
• RF Connector: N-Type Female (N(F))
• Polarization: Horizontal and vertical, facilitated by mounting arrangement
– Key Features
Log-periodic design provides high gain across the full operating frequency span. The antenna accepts both polarization orientations through configurable mounting, enabling flexibility in test setup orientation. N-type female connector ensures compatibility with standard RF instrumentation and test chambers. Aluminum alloy construction resists corrosion in extended field deployment.
– Typical Applications
• Radiated Emissions (RE) testing per EMC standards
• Radiated Susceptibility (RS) testing per IEC 61000-4-3
• Broadband signal reception and transmission
• Pre-compliance and full compliance EMC assessment
– Compatibility & Integration
The 50 Ohm impedance and N-type connector interface directly with commercial RF amplifiers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and EMC test systems. Tripod and fixed-surface mounting configurations support integration into standardized EMC measurement chambers and open-area test sites.
