1.0 Introduction The ETS-Lindgren family of double-ridged waveguide horn antennas consists of linearly polarized broadband antennas ranging in frequency from 100 MHz to 40GHz. These antennas were designed and built specifically for EMI measurements and specifications compliance testing. However, they can also be used for antenna gain, pattern measurement, surveillance, automotive and military EMC immunity applications.
