ELECTRO-METRICS RVR-30M VERTICAL ANTENNA 

(RVR30M-1) 

DESCRIPTION AND USE ELECTRO-METRICS 

MODEL RVR-30M VERTICAL ANTENNA 

 
 
 
 
 

1.0   Introduction 

 
 

The Model RVR-30M Vertical Antenna performs electric field measurements from 9 kHz 

to  30 MHz. A ten position rotary switch is  used to switch in the appropriate matching  network 
for the frequency selected. Though specifically designed for use with the Electro-Metrics Model 
EMC-30  Interference  Analyzer,  it  can  be  used  with  any  equivalent  50-ohm  receiver/analyzer 
being designed and calibrated for use in a 50-ohm system. 
 
 

The  Model  RVR-30M  is  designed  for  use  in  conjunction  with  the  Model  GPA-30 

Counterpoise, Model TRI-136 Tripod, and Model CAC-30 Coaxial Cable. 
 
 

The bottom of the base has a 5/8-20 threaded receptacle for mounting to the Model TRI-

136 Tripod. 
 
 

2.0   Specifications 
 
  2.1   Electrical 

 
 

Frequency Range (Calibrated): 

9 kHz to 30 MHz. 

 
 

(Antenna Factor Chart furnished with each antenna.) 

 
 

Input Impedance: 

Matched to 50

 
 

Connector: 

Type TNC, female. 

 
 

 

NOTE:

 

Though designed as a receiving antenna, the RVR-30M can be 
used as a transmitting antenna 

PROVIDED

 the power applied 

to the antenna 

DOES NOT exceed 1 W maximum.

 

 
 

  2.2   Mechanical 

 
 

Length Antenna Rod: 

1041 mm (41"). 

 
 

Weight: 

3.5 kg (7.5 lbs). 

 
 

3.0   RVR-30M Description 

 
 

The RVR-30M comprises an approximate 1-meter (41-inch) extensible rod which screws 

into a rectangular base containing the matching networks.
