The Model 3112 Double-Ridged
Waveguide Horn is a linearly polarized
antenna covering the frequency range
of 100 MHz to 1 GHz.
The Model 3112 is especially effective
for generating high electromagnetic
fields with relatively low power input.
The antenna is also useful for receiving
low-level signals where high gain
characteristics are needed.
The Model 3106B Double-Ridged
Waveguide Horn is a linearly polarized
broadband antenna covering a
frequency range of 200 MHz to
2.5 GHz. It is precision-machined from
aluminum, making it lightweight and
durable. Two brackets are attached to
the sides of the antenna so it can be
polarized either horizontal or vertically.
1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren family of Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antennas
consists of linearly polarized broadband antennas ranging in frequency from
100 MHz to 40 GHz. These antennas were designed and built specifically from
EMI measurements and specifications compliance testing. However, they can
also be used for antenna gain, pattern measurement, surveillance, automotive,
and military EMC immunity applications.
Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antennas
MODEL 3112
MODEL 3106B
The Model 3106B has high gain and excellent VSWR characteristics over the
entire frequency range (see Appendix B on page 51 for data charts). It is
especially effective for generating high electromagnetic field with relatively low
power input. The antenna is also useful for receiving low level signals where high
gain characteristics are needed.
Introduction | 7
The Model 3119 Double-Ridged
Waveguide Horn is a linearly polarized
broadband antenna covering the
frequency range of 400 MHz to 6 GHz.
The Model 3119 is ideally suited for
immunity over 1 GHz and as a
reference antenna for wireless testing.
In addition, the 3119 is useful for
antenna pattern measurement as a
source antenna.
The Model 3115 Double-Ridged Waveguide
Horn is a linearly polarized broadband
antenna covering the frequency range of
750 MHz to 18 GHz.
The Model 3115 is ideally suited for
IEC 61000-4-3 and MIL-STD 461E immunity
tests as well as ANSI C634 and EN 55033
emissions testing. In addition, the 3115 is
useful for antenna pattern measurement as a
source antenna.
The Model 3117 Double-Ridged
Waveguide Horn is a linearly polarized
broadband antenna covering the 1 GHZ to
18 GHz frequency range.
A single well-defined main lobe radiation
pattern over the entire frequency range
provides excellent illumination of the
Equipment Under Test (EUT).
MODEL 3119
MODEL 3115
MODEL 3117
8 | Introduction
The Model 3117 is ideally suited for IEC 6100-4-3 and MIL-STD 661/462
immunity tests as well as ANSI C634 and EN 55033 emissions tests. The 3117
includes a stinger for flexible mounting options.
The Model 3116C Double-Ridged
Waveguide Horn is a linearly polarized
broadband antenna covering the
frequency range 10 GHz to 40 GHz. It is
designed and built specifically for
emissions and susceptibility testing.
The Model 3116C is precision-machined
from aluminum. A 50 Ω Type K
(2.92 mm) female connector is mounted
on the base block of the antenna for
increased performance at high
frequencies. For flexible mounting
options, the 3116C includes a bracket
that accepts a 1/4–20 thread screw and
a rear stinger-style mount.

Before connecting any components or operating the
Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antennas, follow the safety
information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin
included with your shipment.
The Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antennas are precision
instruments. Handle with care.
Make sure that no part of the antenna is in contact with the tripod or tower.
Due to the size of the Model 3112, 3119, and 3106B
Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antennas, do not mount them
onto a 4-TR.
Failure to provide continuous support of the antenna when
attaching or removing the mounting bracket or thumbscrews may
result in damage.
The Model 3117 Model and 3116C include a stinger mount for centerline
rotation measurements; see page 21 for more information.
4.0 Mounting Instructions
4-TR Mounting Instructions
INCLUDED MOUNTING HARDWARE
All Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antennas (except the 3112, 3119,
and 3106B) mount directly to a 4-TR Tripod using the included mounting
hardware; no additional hardware is required.
All Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antennas ship with the following mounting
hardware:
Mounting bracket drilled to accept ETS-Lindgren or other tripod mount with
1/4–20 threads.
Thumbscrews (2) for attaching the antenna to the mounting bracket.
Mounting Instructions | 19
The Model 3117 Model and 3116C include a stinger mount for centerline
rotation measurements; see page 21 for more information.
ATTACH MOUNTING BRACKET TO ANTENNA
The following illustration represents a typical assembly of the mounting bracket to
an antenna. The Model 3116C is shown; however, the steps are similar for each
of the Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antennas.
1. Hold the antenna with the connector pointing to the floor and align the
holes on the back of the antenna with the ones on the bracket provided.
2. Select set of holes for horizontal or vertical polarization as desired.
3. Insert both thumbscrews and tighten.
20 | Mounting Instructions
ATTACH STINGER MOUNT (MODELS 3117 AND 3116C ONLY)
The Model 3117 Model and 3116C include a stinger mount for centerline rotation
measurements.
1. Hold the antenna with the connector pointing to the floor and align the
holes on the back of the antenna with the ones on the bracket provided.
2. Select set of holes for horizontal or vertical polarization as desired.
3. Insert both thumbscrews and tighten.
4. Align the stinger with the threaded mounting stud then tighten.
Mounting Instructions | 21
1. Attach the mounting bracket
to the 4-TR by aligning the
1/4–20 connector on the
bracket with the 1/4–20 bolt
on the tripod. Support the
antenna securely while
turning the mounting bracket
to tighten the connection.
2. To change polarization,
support the antenna securely
and remove the
thumbscrews. Turn the
antenna to align the holes on
the mounting bracket with
the desired set of holes on
the back of the antenna.
Re-insert the thumbscrews
and tighten.
