Double Ridged Horn Antenna 1.7-18GHz
This product is a professional Ultra Wideband Double Ridged Horn Antenna designed for applications requiring broad frequency coverage and stable performance. The antenna operates from 1.7GHz to 18GHz and is built from aluminum for light weight and good durability. As a Double Ridged Horn, it features a rugged all metal construction that provides excellent mechanical strength. The antenna offers linear polarization and can be mounted in either horizontal or vertical orientation. This flexibility makes installation easy and allows users to switch polarization without needing different antennas. The wide frequency coverage from 1.7GHz to 18GHz means one antenna can handle tasks that would otherwise require multiple narrowband units.
This double ridged horn antenna delivers solid electrical performance across its operating range. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is rated at 2.1, which shows good impedance matching. The gain is 5dB or higher, providing enough signal strength for most test and measurement tasks. The radiation pattern is symmetrical, and the amplitude phase characteristics are favorable for accurate measurements. The antenna offers high radiation efficiency, which means most of the input power gets radiated rather than lost as heat. The all metal construction ensures long term reliability even with frequent handling. The design also provides good shielding against outside interference. The cost effectiveness of this antenna makes it accessible for labs, universities, and test facilities with various budget levels.
One clear strength of this Wideband Test Antenna is its versatility across many application areas. It is widely used for EMC electromagnetic compatibility chamber testing, where consistent performance across a broad frequency range is essential. The antenna is also suitable for antenna near field and far field measurements, serving as either a transmitting or receiving element. In microwave and millimeter wave research, it helps with development and calibration tasks. For electromagnetic interference troubleshooting and radiation monitoring, this antenna provides reliable detection across multiple bands. The antenna also supports wireless communication and next generation network testing, defense and military applications, radar and satellite systems, as well as teaching and research in university labs. This wide range of uses makes the antenna a practical investment for facilities that handle different types of measurement work.
In practical use, this EMC Measurement Antenna handles professional test tasks very well. For EMC chambers, it serves as a reliable antenna for both radiated emission and radiated immunity testing. The ability to mount it horizontally or vertically gives users flexibility to meet different test standards. For antenna measurement ranges, the symmetrical pattern and stable gain help produce accurate and repeatable results. The aluminum construction keeps the antenna light enough for easy mounting on positioners and stands. The wide bandwidth means users do not have to stop and change antennas when sweeping across different frequency bands. It stands as a solid example of how a well designed Double Ridged Horn can meet the demanding needs of modern EMC testing, antenna measurement, and communication system validation.
