A.H. Systems Model Active Monopole Antennas SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION The A.H. Systems Active Monopole Antennas are an active, general-purpose, receive-only antenna that covers 100 Hz – 60 MHz frequency range. It is ideal for instantaneous bandwidth scanning (without tuning) of electric fields in its frequency range and can drive any receiver with 50Ω...
It’s flat 0dB Antenna Factor makes it a convent choice when calculating the field intensity. The signal field strength is the receiver voltage in dBuV plus the antenna factor (refer to the antenna factor calibration) plus any cable loss. A.H. Systems inc. – October 2005 REV A...

ARP 958. This is an indispensable tool used for gain adjustment and calibration of the active monopoles. The ECF-10 is used as a signal substitution source when calibrating the active monopole. Refer to the alignment and calibration procedures below. A.H. Systems inc. – October 2005 REV A...
Receiver reading (dBuV) = 44 dBuV Cable loss (dB) = 0.7 Field Intensity = AF + receiver reading + cable loss Field Intensity = 0.1 + 44.0 + 0.7 Field Intensity = 44.8 dBuV/Meter A.H. Systems inc. – October 2005 REV A...
