1.0 Introduction ETS-Lindgren Model 3127 Resonant Loop Antennas are magnetic dipole antennas designed to meet the Cellular Telecommunication and Internet Association’s (CTIA)) +/- 0.1 dB symmetry requirement for ripple test measurements at the labeled center frequency. These omni-directional antennas have a magnetic dipole pattern approaching that of a half wave resonant electric dipole.
The Model 3127 antenna family covers a range of frequencies intended for characterization of wireless chambers including, but not limited to, the following models: 3127-450 3127-1800 3127-700 3127-1868 3127-836 3127-1880 3127-880 3127-1950 3127-897 3127-2140 3127-920 3127-2450 3127-1747 3127-2535 3127-1768 3127-2655 3127-5500 The digits following the hyphen in the model name note the center frequency of the antenna.

3.0 Specifications Electrical Specifications VSWR Ratio (Average) <5:1 Typical Max. Continuous Power 1 Watt Impedance (Nominal) 50 Ohms Connector The symmetry is guaranteed over a 10MHz span less than 1880 MHz, above that frequency the symmetry is only guaranteed at the nominal frequency.
4.0 Operation Before operating any components, follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. Mounting All items mentioned in the Mounting section are options. Please contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service for additional information. The Model 3127 Resonant Loop Antennas should be mounted to a support at the connector end of the antenna.
Ferrite loaded RF cables are recommended for use with the Model 3127 to minimize the interaction with the loop. ETS-Lindgren offers a line of ferrite loaded cables for this application. Lightweight RF cabling should be used and properly supported to avoid putting unnecessary load on the SMA connector of the antenna.
