R&S®HL046 EMS Antenna

R&S®HL046
EMS Antenna
80 MHz to 1.3 GHz The R&S®HL046 for EMS measurements consists of two
log-periodic antennas arranged in a V-shape and con-
Log-periodic antenna for EMS measurements nected in parallel. Due to this construction, high selectivity
is obtained in the H plane and the radiation patterns are
practically rotation-symmetrical.

Its small size and wide frequency range make the antenna
suitable for use in test chambers.

The antenna is mounted on a trolley whose height can be

continuously adjusted between approx. 1 m and 1.75 m
above ground. Polarization is manually set. Pneumatic
actuators can optionally be provided.

Key facts
❙ High antenna gain, i.e. low amplifier power required
❙ Only one antenna required to cover a wide frequency
range
❙ Uniform object irradiation due to optimized radiation
patterns
❙ Reduced influence of test chamber
❙ Wall mounting possible
❙ Small size
