1.0 Introduction

The ETS-Lindgren Model 3180B Mini-Bicon Antenna is designed for optimal

performance across a frequency range of 30 MHz to 1 GHz or 30 MHz to 3 GHz,

depending on the elements:

With conical elements:

30 MHz to 3 GHz

With cage elements:

30 MHz to 1 GHz

The Model 3180B ships with both sets of elements. The uniquely-designed

elements provide an omni-directional pattern without the main radiation beam

splitting into two lobes in the elevation cut.

The Model 3180B is ideal for the Free Space NSA (FSNSA) test for fully

anechoic rooms. The small size allows for harmonic monitoring when testing per

IEC 61000-4-3.

In addition to covering the traditional frequency range EMC measurements, the

Model 3180B covers all the VHF and part of the UHF bands, making it ideal for

spectrum monitoring of FM, TV, and some cellular phones.
