ETS-Lindgren 3183 Broadband Mini-Bicon Antenna 1 GHz - 18 GHz
The 3183 antenna has a broadband frequency range of 1 GHz - 18 GHz. Its omnidirectional pattern conforms to CISPR 16 specifications. The broadband frequency range also covers most wireless bands worldwide. This allows the antenna to be used for surveying or spectrum monitoring, when used with a portable spectrum analyzer. A weatherizing kit is standard on the Model 3183 for outdoor monitoring. Frequency Range The Model 3183 is designed to have the lowest possible VSWR across its range of operation. The antenna exhibits an average 2:1 VSWR. Radiation Pattern The radiation pattern of the Model 3183 is omnidirectional in the H-plane. This means the antenna can receive signals from every direction around its axis. CISPR-16 Conformance The radiation pattern closely conforms to the CISPR 16 requirements for chamber validation. Because of its small size, the antenna can also be used for amplifier harmonic measurements when performing tests per the IEC 61000-4-3. Spectrum Monitoring The Model 3183 can be used for EM Field surveying and spectrum monitoring. The low weight design allows use as a field surveying tool, in conjunction with a portable spectrum analyzer.
