MODEL 3110B BICONICAL ANTENNA Application
© EMC TEST SYSTEMS, L.P. – MARCH 2002 3
REV F – PN 399108
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.
