10dbi Horn Antenna 500-6000MHz

Description

The “horn” geometry functions as a transition between the guided waves in a cable and the free-space environment. To achieve such a wide bandwidth (12:1 ratio), these antennas utilize a double-ridged internal structure that allows for lower cutoff frequencies without a massive increase in physical size. This results in a stable gain of approximately 10dBi and a constant radiation pattern across the entire 0.5–6 GHz range.

Constructed from precision-machined aluminum, these antennas are lightweight yet durable. They are typically equipped with a high-power N-Type Female connector and are designed to be mounted on non-metallic tripods to avoid signal reflections during sensitive EMI/EMC measurements.

Key Technical Advantages

• Ultra-Wideband Coverage: A single antenna covers everything from UHF (500 MHz) to high-band 5G and Wi-Fi 6 (6 GHz), eliminating the need for multiple antenna swaps during testing.

• Stable Gain & Pattern: Maintains a nominal 10dBi gain with minimal variation, providing predictable results for field strength measurements.

• High Power Handling: Capable of handling significant input power (often up to 300W–1kW), suitable for generating high-intensity electromagnetic fields in immunity labs.

• Low VSWR: Features a typical VSWR of ≤ 1.5:1, ensuring maximum power transfer and protecting sensitive RF amplifiers.

• Linear Polarization: Provides high cross-polarization rejection, which is critical for accurate signal identification and direction finding.

Key Features

• Frequency Range: 500 MHz – 6000 MHz.

• Gain: ~10 dBi (Nominal).

• Connector Type: N-Type Female (50 Ohm).

• Material: Anodized Aluminum.

• Mounting: 22mm tube or standard 1/4″ tripod mount.

• Application: EMC/EMI Compliance, Radar Simulation, and 5G Testing.
