Description
Broadband horn antennas utilize a double-ridged waveguide design to extend the operating frequency range far beyond the limits of a standard rectangular horn. This allows a single antenna to capture signals for 5G (Sub-6), Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), and high-frequency radar systems. The internal ridges provide the necessary impedance matching to maintain a stable radiation pattern and a constant gain of approximately 10dBi throughout the 18:1 frequency ratio.
Crafted from precision-machined aluminum, these units are built for laboratory accuracy. They typically use a precision N-Type Female or SMA connector and are designed for mounting on non-conductive tripods to ensure that nearby metal doesn’t interfere with the highly directional beam pattern.
