1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren Model 3163 Series High Gain Conical Horns include these
antennas:
Model 3163-03
• C
Band
• 4 GHz to 8 GHz
Model 3163-04
• X
Band
• 8 GHz to 12 GHz
Model 3163-05
• Ku
Band
• 12 GHz to 18 GHz
Model 3163-06
• K
Band
• 18 GHz to 26.5 GHz
The Model 3163 Series was designed for use as feeds in tapered anechoic
chambers, as well as in applications requiring high gain and linear polarization.
When back mounted and attached to a rotator at the feed of the taper chamber,
the design allows for rotation inside the conical feed sections. Flared angles
enable easy positioning along the feed section to obtain the best possible
illumination of the Quiet Zone (QZ). The Model 3163 Series exhibits improved
reflectivity levels in the QZ of tapered chambers with low VSWR across the
range.
