1 - 18 GHz Wide Band Horn Antennas
Model Number WBH1-18S
Antenna Radiation Patterns and full horn specifications are available on the datasheet above.
Despite its small size, it punches above its weight offering good gain, VSWR and radiation pattern performance right up to 18 GHz. The small size has been achieved from a total re-design of the launcher region so that only the aperture now determines the minimum frequency. Its compact nature and low frontal profile will prove useful for minimally invasive situations such as electric field probing.
The antenna is ruggedly constructed from aluminium and engineering plastics. Top, bottom and back pieces are machined out of solid aluminium for low mass and high mechanical stability. It is normally totally enclosed and made weatherproof.
The photograph shows the front radome removed, exposing the ridges and the machined out sections of the rear of the horn providing mass reduction.
Features
-
Ideal for EMI/RFI testing, as a reflector feed, EMC measurements, wide band surveillance, materials evaluation, Radio Astronomy, Spectrum Monitoring & Surveillance
- World's smallest 1 - 18 GHz antenna: only 84 x 80 x 137 mm
- Gain 1.8 - 15 dBi across the band
-
Can also be mounted in a parabolic reflector to increase directional resolution and gain, i.e. 1 to 18 GHz 600mm (2ft) Parabolic Reflector Antenna
- A full antenna test report including gain against frequency is provided with each horn
