Product Overview

TDK RF Solutions’ PBA-2030 Precision Biconical Antenna is a new generation biconical dipole that covers the operating frequency range of 20 MHz to 300 MHz. The PBA-2030 offers an unprec- edented combination of power handling, balance, and pattern control, which makes it an excellent choice for both immunity and emissions measure- ments.

Immunity and Emissions Measurements For radiated immunity testing, the PBA-2030 is a highly efficient radiator with a low VSWR (<2.5:1 average). The PBA-2030’s moderate power handling capability (300W CW) accommodates the majority of IEC 1000-4-3 immunity test applica- tions. For emissions testing, the PBA-2030’s improved balun provides superior patterns and balance, while the internal choke effectively provides immunity to externally induced imbalance.

Precision Design Designed in-house by our product design engineers, the PBA-2030 is manufactured using tight-tolerance, precision fabrication methods to minimize intrinsic uncertain- ties. This mechanically-precise, weld-free design yields predictable performance and delivers accurate, consistent measurements.

TDK RF Solutions’ PBA-2030 Precision Biconi- cal Antenna features a patent pending design that provides optimum performance over the frequency range of 20 MHz to 300 MHz.
