1.0 Introduction

The ETS-Lindgren Model 3303 Rod Antenna is a passive broadband

electric field monopole transmitting antenna, and may also be used as a

passive receive antenna. The Model 3303 has a frequency range of

1 kHz to 30 MHz and features manual band switching between

0.001-5 MHz and 5-30 MHz. The maximum power handled by the

Model 3303 is 1 kW.

The base of the Model 3303 is constructed of aluminum, providing

strength and portability. The 1/4–20 threaded receptacle in the base is

compatible with ETS-Lindgren tripods and most others. The housing

contains the band-switching mechanism and a female Type N connector.

Each Model 3303 is individually calibrated

per (ESCM) or IEEE Std 291 using NIST

traceable equipment. Actual individual

calibration factors and a signed Certificate of

Calibration Conformance are included with

each antenna. By knowing the actual

antenna factors and performance

characteristics instead of typical data, you

can more accurately calculate the

field strength in your tests.
