1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren End Fed Mini-Bicons includes these two groups of
broadband omni-directional antennas:
Model 3181 / Model 3184
The Model 3181/3184 is designed for
surveillance, spectrum monitoring, and
shielding tests.
The frequency range for the Model 3181 is
500 MHz to 9 GHz and the frequency range
for the Model 3184 is 1 GHz to 18 GHz.
The Model 3181 performs best up to
9 GHz, but is usable to 18 GHz if
amplification is used. The Model 3184
performs better than the Model 3181 in the
9 GHz to 18 GHz range. Data to 18 GHz is
provided for both antennas.
The radome provides weather protection for
outdoor testing, and a weatherizing kit is
included to protect the antenna connection.
Model 3183
The Model 3183 is designed for
CISPR 16-1-4 chamber validation testing
above 1 GHz. The frequency range for the
Model 3183 is 1 GHz to 18 GHz.
The Model 3183 is not weather protected,
and is not recommended for outdoor
testing.
Never attempt to remove the stem from the Model 3183.
