Microwave Biconical Antenna
The ABM-6000 is a precisely tuned, linearly polarized, mini-biconical dipole antenna, operating at the low end of the microwave band over the frequency range of 1 to 6 GHz. It may be used as either a transmitting or receiving antenna. The ABM-6000 was specifi cally designed to comply with radiation pattern specifi cations detailed in CISPR 16-1-4 (section 8.2.2.1), and is intended to be used as the transmit source antenna for site validations above 1 GHz for radiated emissions test sites, such as OATS (open area test sites), anechoic and semi-anechoic chambers. Its lightweight, compact design makes the antenna easily portable, while its stainless steel housing and brass elements provide durability, enabling the antenna to be transported and used in almost any environment. The textured, powder-coated handle section of the shaft along with the supplied mounting clamp allow for easy mounting of the antenna on any tripod or antenna mast. Each antenna is individually calibrated per ANSI C63.5: 2006 at 3 meters distance. The antenna is supplied with a protective carrying case, mounting clamp, user's manual, calibration data and certifi cate. Com-Power also off ers several non-conductive tripods.
