1 - 8 GHz Wide Band High Power Horn Antennas
Document Actions
Model Number WBH1-8#10HP
High power rating and wide bandwidth are usually incompatible in wide band antennas. This is largely because the former requires large wide spaced conductors yet the latter needs close spaced small conductors.
The horn uses a conventional double ridged radiating region driven by a specialised coaxial to triplate balun transformer, developed through extensive simulation. Such a transformer can be made much larger than conventional types before overmoding occurs. Thus the mean power rating is correspondingly higher, and is typically limited by the input coaxial connector size.
A wide variety of high power input connectors are available. These include type N, 7:16 DIN and 7/8 IEC, and the type is specified by means of the hash (#) symbol in the model number, as shown in the specification table.
Features
- Ideal for high power electromagnetic susceptibility EMC tests, for example reverberation chambers or equally for wide band spectrum measurement.
- Mean power rating limited by input connector.
- Peak gain 5.5 - 16.8 dBi
- A full antenna test report including typical gain versus frequency is provided with each horn.
- Wide range of connectors available.
