5.1 AH-8055 as a Transmitting Antenna
Illustrated in Figure 6 is the AH-8055 High Gain Horn Antenna configured for use as
a transmitting antenna. Illustrated in Figure 7 is a typical system arrangement for
this antenna configuration, with the antenna port connected directly to the
output port of a power amplifier. In practice, a power amplifier may or may not
be used, depending on the desired magnitude of the generated field.
Figure 6 –
AH-8055 as a Transmitting Antenna
In this configuration, the AH-8055 is used as a transmitting antenna. Some
examples of these applications are listed below:
o
Site Validation tests, such as the reciprocal S
VSWR
procedure described in
CISPR 16-1-4
o
Radiated RF Immunity (or susceptibility) testing, such as that described in
IEC 61000-4-3, MIL-STD 461x, DO-160, etc.
o
Antenna Calibrations per ANSI C63.5, ARP 958, etc.
For applications such as those listed above, the isotropic gain factors have
importance, rather than the antenna factors, as described in section 5.1.1.
