Mounting Instructions

Easy access to SMA connectors—The circular mounting plate provides the
primary interface to the shielded enclosure mount panel. By fastening the
mounting plate to the shielded enclosure, the two SMA connectors are on the
outside of the enclosure (3164-05, 3164-06, and 3164-08 only), providing
easy access. This also puts the cables outside of the enclosure, which
reduces the effect of the cables on the measurement.
Security of shielding integrity—The back end of the antenna is machined
of a single aluminum block, so the shielding effectiveness of the enclosure is
not compromised by installation. This unique feature eliminates the need for
a transmit antenna positioning device or a walk path inside the shielded
anechoic chamber, both of which could present unwanted reflections of
shielded anechoic chambers when installed improperly.
Maximize test range distance—The integrated mount fixture allows
maximizing of the test range distance for a shielded anechoic chamber of
defined dimensions.
