Biconical & E-Field Antennas

The Schwazbeck Biconical elements come in many sizes and offer different performances depending on what your needs are. For best low-frequency performance (good gain, low antenna factor), larger elements work better. The downfall of larger elements is handling or fitting in the test space. Many situations may not need outstanding performance with larger elements. The benefits of these elements and antenna baluns are that they all use the same connections (10mm), allowing for versatile sharing/switching of elements. No need to purchase a new antenna; get new elements.

The Schwarzbeck line of biconical antennas is ideally suited for EMC testing. The interchangeable design can be paired easily with different elements for different applications. The kits offered here make the selection process simple and straight forward. Testing < 150 MHz and at 1 or 3 meters in the near field of each antenna becomes difficult to predict, especially in small chambers. 

The use of these kits gives many antenna options in a single solution. With the alternative element options, the possibility of finding a better match to your chamber and requirements increases.  

Linear polarized Broadband TEM Horn Antenna (Aluminium) for receive and transmit applications, especially for generating radiated fields in close proximity immunity tests and UWB (ultra-wideband) measurements. A typical application is the IEC 61000-4-39 standard.
