Overview
The ARA SAS-2/A Broadband E-Field Receiving Antenna is a broadband active antenna designed for EMC testing and RF measurements across a wide frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 GHz. It is commonly used for electric field strength measurements, radiated emissions testing, and interference analysis in both laboratory and on-site environments.
Featuring an active monopole design, the SAS-2/A delivers stable and accurate electric field detection with high sensitivity. Its wideband performance allows engineers to evaluate emissions across low to high frequencies without changing antennas, making it a practical solution for comprehensive EMC assessments and site evaluations.
The EMC Shop customers use the SAS-2/A when they need a reliable, wideband solution for measuring electric field strength during pre-compliance and diagnostic testing. In a typical setup, the antenna is connected to a spectrum analyzer or EMI receiver with a 50Ω input, enabling engineers to monitor and quantify radiated emissions from devices under test.
For troubleshooting and shielding verification, users position the antenna around enclosures, cables, or test areas to detect leakage and identify sources of interference. Its omnidirectional response simplifies scanning, while the integrated active network ensures consistent performance across the full frequency range. Designed for both lab and field use, the SAS-2/A integrates easily into existing EMC test setups and provides dependable, repeatable measurement results.
