Dipole Antennas

The Precision Omnidirectional Dipoles POD 16 and POD 618 are fully compliant to CISPR 16-1-4 for site validation above 1 GHz. The POD 16 and POD 618 are precision broadband dipole antennas with conically shaped radiation elements covered by an RF-transparent radome. This rugged construction enables an excellent dipole-like radiation pattern up to 18 GHz.

Highly Accurate Antenna for Exposure evaluation next to mobile communication facilities e.g. GSM and UMTS base stations Accurate RF radiation safety measurements e.g. nearby broadcast stations or in buildings

Highly accurate reference for antenna calibrations, site validations, and EMC conformance tests according to ANSI C63.4, ANSI C63.5, CISPR 16-1, CISPR/A/244/FDIS Uncertainty in the antenna factors: less than 0.15 dB (95.5%) at the resonance frequency

Highly Accurate Reference Antenna for Site validation measurements according to CISPR 16-1-4 in fully anechoic rooms

The testing and performance evaluation of EMC test sites requires precision field-strength measurements. Seibersdorf is the European market leader in this business. We offer these measurements as an accredited laboratory. Since 1997 we are also present in the Asian market. Due to intensive investigation in this field during recent years many results have been adopted in international standards (e.g. CISPR 16 series).

CalStan 11 is a software tool for automation of radio frequency (RF) calibrations and measurements of EMC test sites and test equipment. The software controls the instruments via GPIB bus and LAN, reads the measurement values and computes the results. A modular concept with measurement plug-ins allows customization according to the test lab requirements.
