PBA-2030 Precision Biconical Antenna

Product Overview

TDK RF Solutions’ PBA-2030 Precision Biconical
Antenna is a new generation biconical dipole that
covers the operating frequency range of 20 MHz
to 300 MHz. The PBA-2030 offers an unprec­edented combination of power handling, balance,
and pattern control, which makes it an excellent
choice for both immunity and emissions measure­ments.

Immunity and Emissions Measurements For

Data Sheet

radiated immunity testing, the PBA-2030 is a highly
efficient radiator with a low VSWR (<2.5:1
average). The PBA-2030’s moderate power
handling capability (300W CW) accommodates
the majority of IEC 1000-4-3 immunity test applica­tions. For emissions testing, the PBA-2030’s
improved balun provides superior patterns and
balance, while the internal choke effectively
provides immunity to externally induced imbalance.

Precision Design Designed in-house by our

product design engineers, the PBA-2030 is
manufactured using tight-tolerance, precision
fabrication methods to minimize intrinsic uncertain­ties. This mechanically-precise, weld-free design
yields predictable performance and delivers
accurate, consistent measurements.

TDK RF Solutions’ PBA-2030 Precision Biconi­cal Antenna features a patent pending design
that provides optimum performance over the
frequency range of 20 MHz to 300 MHz.
