15dbi Horn Antenna 18-40GHz

Description

The 18–40 GHz spectrum presents significant challenges for signal integrity; this horn antenna addresses them through a double-ridged waveguide architecture that maintains a single-mode radiation pattern over a wide 2.2:1 frequency ratio. The 15dBi gain provides the necessary narrow beamwidth for point-to-point microwave links and high-sensitivity spectrum monitoring.

Typically constructed from anodized aluminum with high-tolerance machining, these antennas are exceptionally lightweight and durable. They are essential for protecting sensitive test equipment from signal reflections, acting as a stable reference for antenna calibration and radiated power measurements in anechoic chambers.

Key Technical Advantages

• Broadband mmWave Coverage: Covers the full 18–40 GHz range in a single unit, including critical 5G NR bands (n257, n258, n260, n261).

• Stable 15dBi Gain: Provides a consistent gain profile with minimal variation, ensuring repeatable measurements across the entire bandwidth.

• Precision Interface: Utilizes a 2.92mm Female connector, which is mechanically compatible with SMA and 3.5mm but optimized for mode-free operation up to 40 GHz.

• Excellent Impedance Matching: Features a typical VSWR of ≤ 1.5:1, maximizing power delivery and minimizing measurement uncertainty.

• Rugged & Lightweight: The powder-coated or anodized finish provides environmental resilience for both laboratory and field-test environments.
