The Microwave Vision Group (MVG) has announced a new innovative line of antennas for the Electro-magnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) test market. These antennas provide accurate test results and allow the detedetection of low level emissions.
This new line of EMC Antennas includes a biconical antenna, a log-periodic array, a log/biconical hybrid, and several dual-ridge horns to cover frequency bands from 20 MHz to 40 GHz applicable to various EMC product standards. They will also add a rod antenna and a loop antenna to cover EMI testing from 9 kHz to 40 GHz.
The first product of this line is the EH118, a dual-ridge horn antenna that will operate from 1-18 GHz. It has a balanced, smooth antenna factor curve that extends all the way to 18 GHz. It reduces the higher order modes on the aperture and has a low return loss (SVSWR). This antenna is ideal for commercial, military and automotive test standards and will include applicable calibrations.
Key Features of this EMC Dual Ridge Horn Antenna are:
- Single Linear Polarization
- Smooth/Balanced Gain with Frequency
- Low Return Loss/VSWR
- Ultrawide Bandwidth (18:1)
This Horn Antenna has a unique design that prevents the excitation of unwanted high order modes in the aperture. It has a well-defined smooth radiation pattern throughout the operational bandwidth and a robust and lightweight mechanical design. The EH118 is precision-machined and has a high reliability N coaxal connector.
MVG will demo this new product line as well as their latest family of absorbers (Hyper-Loss Ultra Hybrid Absorbers) at the EMC Europe 2016 symposium taking place at the main campus of Wroclaw University of Technology (WrUT) in Poland from 5-9 September, 2016.
