EMC 3110B manual Application

MODEL 3110B BICONICAL ANTENNA Application

APPLICATION

The Model 3110B is ideally suited for swept site attenuation measurements per ANSI and FCC specifications. Also, the Model 3110B can be used for horizontal as well as vertical site attenuation measurements. A 20 dB pre-amp is recommended in line with the receive antenna to minimize the required transmitted power and to reduce the possibility of saturation of the transmitting antenna. The maximum continuous input power to the Model 3110B is 250 mW.

When the 3110B is used vertically, the same element orientation need not be maintained from measurement to measurement. The Model 3110B exhibits excellent symmetrical performance and test repeatability is assured by the balun design.

Each antenna is calibrated during manufacturing. The results of the calibration are tabulated and included with this manual as gain and antenna factor vs frequency for use in Specification Compliance Testing. Typical data for the Model 3110B can be found in the next section.
