ETS-Lindgren’s Model 3116C-PA Double-Ridged
Waveguide Horn Antenna with Pre-Amplifier
FEATURES:
n 18 GHz to 40 GHz Frequency Range
n Maintains Single Lobe Radiation
n Fitted with Pre-Amplifier for
Increased Sensitivity
n Extremely Low Antenna Factor
n Flexible Mounting
ETS-LINDGREN’S MODEL 3116C-PA
is a special version of our popu-
lar Model 3116C Double-Ridged
Waveguide Horn Antenna, fitted
with a pre-amplifier package and
calibrated as a single unit. By do-
ing this, any possible mismatches
between antenna and pre-amplifier
are taken into account in the anten-
na factor (AF), which is provided
with this unit. The antenna is ideal
as a receive antenna for emissions
testing above 18 GHz.
FEATURES
Frequency Range
This antenna covers the 18 GHz
to 40 GHz range when fitted with
the pre-amplifier. The range is
determined by the pre-amplifier
module. The range makes it
ideal as a receive antenna for any
emissions testing above 18 GHz.
Maintains Single Lobe Radiation
Like the Model 3116C, the Model
3116C-PA maintains a single main
lobe pattern in the direction of the
horn axis over its frequency range.
This characteristic is essential for
even distribution of electromagnetic
energy on a target surface, and
accurate measurement of gain and
emissions.
Fitted Amplifier
The pre-amplifier attached to the
antenna has a frequency range of
18 GHz to 40 GHz and a typical
gain of 35 dB. The gain flatness
across the range is ± 3 dB and the
noise figure is 3.7 dB. The power
output is +8 dB minimum at the
1 dB point. The input and output
characteristics of the pre-amplifier
are an input and output VSWR of
2.9:1 maximum. The operating
temperature ranges from -40°C to
+75°C (-40°F to +167°F).
Low Antenna Factor
The result of matching the Model
3116C with the pre-amplifier is
an antenna that is calibrated as a
system and it provides an extremely
low AF that is less than 15 dB (1/m)
for the entire frequency range.
