Page 5: ...e the traditional use of two antennas in the 26 1000 MHz EMC test frequency range Many EMC antennas are variations of a standard tuned dipole which must be nearly half a wavelength long to transmit or receive energy most efficiently Thus at 26 MHz a tuned dipole would have to be approximately 5 3 meters long about 4 6 meters long at 30 MHz and 2 8 meters long at 50 MHz Unfortunately this is too un...

Page 6: ...range Similarly a regular bow tie has a lower resonant frequency than an equal length single wire dipole The T bow tie has its first resonance at a frequency where its length is about 0 22λ a regular bow tie at a length of 0 3λ and a tuned dipole at about a length of 0 48λ Thus at 50 MHz the 1 4 m long T bow tie of the Model 3140 behaves like a 2 8 m tuned dipole Cross polar radiation is minimized...
