ETS-LINDGREN’S MODEL 3142E-PA
BICONILOG is a hybrid antenna that
combines innovative design, com-
pact size, and excellent performance
with a pre-amplifier module. This
antenna enables users to measure
a frequency range of 30 MHz to
6 GHz in one sweep, negating the
need for multiple antennas and time-
consuming equipment setup. The
antenna and pre-amplifier module
are calibrated together including the
cable section that connects the mod-
ule to the antenna port. Any possible
mismatch between the pre-amplifier
and the antenna is taken into ac-
count in the antenna factor.
FEATURES
Frequency Range
The Model 3142E-PA covers the
entire range of the 3142E antenna
from 30 MHz to 6 GHz.
Pre-amplifier Module
The pre-amplifier attached to the
antenna has a frequency range of
30 MHz to 6 GHz and a minimum
typical gain of 55 dB. The gain flat-
ness is ± 2.5 dB and the noise figure
is 3 dB above 200 MHz and 5 dB
typical below 200 MHz. The power
output is +20 dBm minimum at the
1 dB point.
The input and output characteristics
of the pre-amplifier are an input
and output VSWR of 2.0:1 maxi-
mum. The operating temperature
ranges from -20°C to +75°C (-4°F to
+167°F).
Emissions and Immunity Antenna
The 3142E-PA is an emissions only
antenna, with the pre-amplifier
increasing the signal level received by
the antenna. By placing the pre-

amplifier close to the antenna the
signal to noise ratio is preserved in
the amplified signal.
Flexible Mounting
The Model 3142E-PA’s mount-
ing bracket accepts either a 1/4 20
thread screw or rear stinger mount.
The pre-amplifier module attaches
to the antenna via a flexible coaxial
cable, so that the antenna can be sup-
ported by the stinger. The 3142E-PA
includes two brackets to mount the
pre-amplifier module to the carrier
of any motorized mast. This allows
the antenna to be scanned from 1m
to 4m, as required by the standard.
Individually Calibrated
The 3142E is individually calibrated
at 10 m per ANSI C63.5.
