Setting

 

up

 

and

 

using

 

the

 

antenna

 

 

6.1

  

Connecting

 

 

The

 

model

 

AH

826

 

horn

 

antenna

 

has

 

a

 

type

 

SMA

 

female

 

connector

 

of

 

signal

 

output

 

or

 

input.

 

It

 

can

 

handle

 

up

 

to

 

5

 

Watts

 

CW

 

signal.

 

These

 

connectors

 

are

 

delicate

 

and

 

should

 

be

 

handled

 

with

 

care.

 

Do

 

not

 

over

 

tighten

 

or

 

use

 

excessive

 

force

 

when

 

making

 

connections.

 

 

6.2

  

Antenna

 

setup

 

for

 

receiving

 

signals

 

 

 

The

 

model

 

AH

826

 

must

 

be

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

receiver

 

/

 

spectrum

 

analyzer

 

with

 

high

 

frequency,

 

low

 

loss

 

cables.

 

The

 

loss

 

must

 

be

 

measured

 

and

 

used

 

in

 

calculating

 

the

 

field

 

strength.

 

 

6.3

  

Antenna

 

setup

 

for

 

transmitting

 

signals

  

 

When

 

the

 

AH

826

 

antenna

 

is

 

used

 

for

 

transmitting

 

signals,

 

the

 

antenna

 

is

 

connected

 

to

 

a

 

microwave

 

signal

 

generator

 

and

 

a

 

power

 

amplifier.

 

The

 

model

 

AH

826

 

antenna

 

can

 

transmit

 

up

 

to

 

5

 

Watts

 

of

 

continuous

 

power.

 

The

 

field

 

generated

 

by

 

the

 

antenna

 

can

 

be

 

measured

 

by

 

using

 

a

 

field

 

strength

 

meter

 

/

 

probe

 

or

 

another

 

horn

 

antenna.

  

 

6.4

 

Test

 

location

 

 

The

 

Horn

 

Antenna

 

must

 

be

 

mounted

 

and

 

placed

 

in

 

area

 

away

 

from

 

other

 

conductive

 

objects

 

or

 

materials

 

when

 

in

 

use.

  

Large

 

conductive

 

building,

 

structures

  

and

 

electrical

 

cables,

 

can

 

reflect

 

and

 

reradiate

 

the

 

emissions

 

of

 

EUT,

 

causing

 

errors

 

in

 

the

 

test

 

data.

 

In

 

addition,

 

care

 

should

 

be

 

taken

 

to

 

keep

 

measuring

 

instruments

 

and

 

test

 

personnel

 

away

 

from

 

the

 

test

 

area

 

to

 

avoid

 

interference

 

to

 

the

 

test,

 

as

 

well

 

exposure

 

of

 

test

 

personnel

 

to

 

high

 

electro

magnetic

 

fields.
