Data Sheet
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 unprec-
edented combination of power handling, balance,
and pattern control, which makes it an excellent
choice for both immunity and emissions measure-
ments.
Immunity and Emissions Measurements
For
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 applica-
tions. 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 uncertain-
ties. This mechanically-precise, weld-free design
yields predictable performance and delivers
accurate, consistent measurements.
