1.0 Introduction The ETS-Lindgren Model 3109 Biconical Antenna is designed to operate over the 20 MHz to 300 MHz frequency range for generating high levels of electromagnetic (EM) fields. The ability to handle high power levels over a broadband makes the Model 3109 excellent for use in radiated susceptibility testing.
Application The Model 3109 provides a broad frequency and a high input power, making it ideal for IEC 61000-4-3 testing. The antenna uses a modified Guanella balun for impedance transformation and matching, and it is constructed of much heavier materials so that maximum continuous input power can reach 2 kW. While this antenna typically has a high VSWR at frequencies below 70 MHz, it is still capable of generating high field strength with acceptable input power in this region of the band.
DIN C ONNECTOR The standard connector for the Model 3109 is a Type N. As an alternative, the Model 3109 may be ordered with a 7/16 DIN connector. Type N Connector (Standard) 7/16 DIN Connector (Optional) ARRYING ASES Carrying cases for biconical antennas and portable elements are available. Contact ETS-Lindgren for ordering information.
RIPOD PTIONS ETS-Lindgren offers the following non-metallic, non-reflective tripods for use at both indoor and outdoor EMC test sites. Contact ETS-Lindgren for ordering information. 4-TR Tripod—Constructed of linen phenolic and Delrin®, designed with an adjustable center post for precise height adjustments.
