This versatile antenna works equally well as a radiator for Radio Frequency (RF) susceptibility testing or as a receiving antenna for RF emissions testing. SPECIFICATIONS Refer to the AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation data sheet at the end of this section for detailed specifications, including Voltage Standing-Wave Ratio (VSWR), for the Model ATH18G27-1. PERFORMANCE DATA Typical Gain versus Frequency and Calculated Field Strength (1m and 3m) versus Frequency data for the Model ATH18G27-1 are included in Section 2 of this manual.
When used in a shielded room, reflections and room losses will reduce the available microwave (MW) field. AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation recommends a design safety factor of 100% when selecting a MW power amplifier. Optimum performance will be achieved when the Model ATH18G27-1 High-Gain Horn Antenna is used with a broadband MW power amplifier, such as the Model 25T18G26, Model 40T18G26, and other “T”...

Part of a family of microwave frequency antennas, the Model ATH18G27-1 provides the 18.0-26.5GHz response required for many often used test specifications. The ATH18G27-1 is ideally suited for use with the AR Models 40T18G26 and other high power amplifiers in this frequency range. SPECIFICATIONS FREQUENCY RANGE ............

These modules are not field-repairable and should never be opened outside of AR’s Microelectronics Lab. The modules in these product lines have a security label on two sides of the modules between the housing and lid/cover. If the security label is removed and or cut, the warranty of the module will be voided.
