APPLICATIONS
The model SAS-571 Double
Ridge Horn antenna is a
broadband High gain antenna
with low VSWR. It has an input
handling capability up to 300
watts CW, and rugged design
make this horn antenna excellent
for both immunity and emissions
testing
GENERAL USE INSTRUCTIONS
The double ridge guide horn
antenna comes assembled and
ready to use. The antenna
mounting bracket is attached to
the antenna backwards for
packing purposes. The bracket
must be removed from the
antenna, turned over (so that
the bracket leg faces away from
the antenna), and re-attached to
the antenna. (The bracket is not
needed for mounting if the
tripod being used has an
Azimuth/Elevation Head.)
Attach the antenna to the
tripod azimuth and elevation
head through the hole on the
antenna bottom or the hole in
the mounting bracket. The ridge
guides determine the antenna
polarity: for horizontal polarity
they should be parallel to the
ground, for vertical polarity they
should be perpendicular to the
ground. Connect a cable
between the antenna connector
and the receiver.
NOTE: BE SURE TO USE A
CABLE RATED FOR HIGH
FREQUENCY WHEN
OPERATING ABOVE 5 GHz.
MAINTENANCE
Annual recalibration is
recommended to ensure reliable
and repeatable performance.
A.H. Systems experienced
technicians can recalibrate
almost any type or brand of
antenna.
