HBA-2030 High Power Biconical Antenna
Product Overview
The TDK HBA-2030 High Power Biconical Anten-
na is a new generation biconical dipole that co-
vers the operating frequency range of 20 MHz to
300 MHz. The HBA-2030 offers an unprecedent-
ed combination of high power handling, balance,
and pattern control, which makes it an excellent
choice for immunity measurements.
Precision Design Designed in-house by our prod-
uct design engineers, the HBA-2030’s patent-
pending balun design provides
greatly improved
balance at low frequencies. The unique cage
design provides improved antenna factor at the
low end as well as mode-free operation to 300
MHz and higher. The HBA-2030 is manufactured
using low-tolerance, precision fabrication methods
to minimize intrinsic uncertainties. This mechanically
-precise, weld-free design yields predictable per-
formance and delivers accurate, consistent meas-
urements.
Immunity Measurements For radiated immunity
testing, the HBA-2030 is a highly efficient radiator
with a low VSWR (<2.5:1 average). The HBA-
2030’s high power handling capability (3500W
continuous) accommodates the majority of immuni-
ty test applications.
Applications

Designed primarily for immunity testing, but the
balance and pattern of the HBA-2030 easily
meet the requirements for emissions measure-
ments
Features
