    GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AK-571-4 Horn Antenna kit is the newest member of A.H. Systems family of antenna kits. This Antenna Kit provides a convenient solution for increased frequency requirements from 700 MHz to 40 GHz. As specifications include higher test frequency requirements so does the need for an accurate antenna solution.

Systems AK-571-4 Horn Antenna Kit ANTENNA FORMULAS AND CALCULATIONS EMISSIONS TESTING Individual calibration data for the log periodic antenna is supplied at appropriate distances (3, and 10 meter) to comply with various emissions test requirements. For emissions measurements, add antenna factor plus cable loss to receiver reading in dBV to convert to field strength in dBV/meter.
  • Page 12 A.H. Systems AK-571-4 Horn Antenna Kit dBmW/m = dBV/m - 115.8 The constant in this equation is derived following similar logic. First, consider the Poynting Vector which relates the power density (W/m ) to the electric field strength (V/m) by the following equation.
