PBA-2030
Precision Biconical Antenna
Product Overview
The TDK 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 unprecedented
combination of power handling, balance, and
pattern control, which makes it an excellent choice
for both immunity and emissions measurements.
Immunity and Emissions Measurements
For
radiated immunity testing, the PBA-2030 is a highly
efficient radiator with a low VSWR (<2.5:1 aver-
age). The PBA-2030’s moderate power handling
capability (300W CW) accommodates the major-
ity of IEC 1000-4-3 immunity test applications. For
emissions testing, the PBA-2030’s improved balun
provides superior patterns and balance, while the
internal choke effectively provides immunity to ex-
ternally induced imbalance.
Precision Design
Designed in-house by our prod-
uct design engineers, the PBA-2030 is manufac-
tured using tight-tolerance, precision fabrication
methods to minimize intrinsic uncertainties. This me-
chanically-precise, weld-free design yields predict-
able performance and delivers accurate, con-
sistent measurements.
Applications
Emissions testing
Immunity testing
Features

The TDK PBA-2030 Precision Biconical Anten-
na features a patent pending design that pro-
vides optimum performance over the frequen-
cy range of 20 MHz to 300 MHz.
