SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The A.H. Systems AK-40G antenna kit series consist of five E-field antennas,
one magnetic loop antenna, and two current probes. Each of the antennas and
probes are provided with calibrations when connected to a 50-ohm input
receiver or spectrum analyzer.
Each of the E-field antennas mount directly to the tripod azimuth and elevation
head. The azimuth and elevation head allows the operator to vary the antenna
azimuth (direction) and to change the antenna polarity (vertical or horizontal).
Cables and an adapter are provided to connect each antenna and probe to
either a BNC or N type connector on the receiver. Cable calibrations are
supplied.
To obtain the field strength of the signal being measured, the operator must add
the receiver reading in dBuV, the antenna factor in dB, and the cable
attenuation in dB. This yields the field strength in dBuV/m. Calibrations for the
E-field antennas are supplied at appropriate spacings (1, 3, and 10 meter) to
comply with various specification requirements.
