Amplifier Research ATR26M1G Log Periodic Antenna 26 MHz – 1 GHz
Description
Amplifier Research ATR26M1G High Gain Log Periodic Antenna 26 MHz – 1 GHz is uniquely suited for use in both traditional applications as well as in new compact chambers. The proprietary design, utilizing a “bent element” approach combined with additional innovations, provides a size reduction of approximately 75% without sacrificing key electrical performance such as gain and beamwidth.
The ATR26M1G features a reduced profile and extremely low VSWR making it an excellent choice for high field-strength immunity testing. The considerable size reduction minimizes field loss resulting from “room loading”. This is especially troublesome when conventional log periodics are used in moderate-size enclosures. The exceptionally broad frequency range addresses existing RF susceptibility requirements as well as anticipated future developments and is matched to work directly with AR’s “W” and “A” series RF power amplifiers. The robust design can accommodate the high power levels necessary to generate significant E-fields.
The ATR26M1G can also be calibrated for RF emissions testing. This antenna is built tough enough for outdoor use. The antenna comes with a wall bracket but can also be mounted in two perpendicular planes with the AP5010B antenna positioner.
The Model ATR26M1G antenna allows polarization change without removing the antenna from its positioner.
