1.2 General Description The Model AD-100 dipole is a the standard antenna for EMC measure- ments, site calibration and as a reference antenna for calibrating other antennas over the frequency range of 30 to 1000 MHz.
(III) beyond it. The DB-3 balun uses only the shorter collapsible elements (III). The DB-4 balun elements are already inserted and fi xed. Table 2.1, Tunable dipole antenna elements (in.) Element Type Length Fixed 27.5 Collapsible Collapsible 4.25 AD-100 Dipole Antenna...

2.1.2 Setup for receiving signals The Model AD-100 dipole antenna can be used to measure EMI from an equip- ment under test (EUT). The antenna is mounted on either an antenna mast (such Model AM-400) or an antenna tripod. The coax cable is used to connect the antenna to the a measuring instrument.
Theory of Operation Functional Block Diagram 3.0 Overview This section describes the theory of operation of AD-100 Dipole Antenna. 3.1 Theory of Operation The tuned dipoles are standard antennas used for calibrating Open Area Test Sites (OATS), EMC measurement and as a reference antenna for calibrating other antennas.

Due to the fi nite diameter of the elements, the optimum or tuned length of the dipole is found to be slightly less (approx. 4%) than determined by calculations. AD-100 Dipole Antenna...
