Overview
The LPA2G 290 MHz - 2 GHz LPDA EMC Antenna log periodic antenna (also known as a log periodic dipole array) is a compact, lightweight antenna that has been designed to ensure maximum gain, low VSWR, and high power handling capabilities. This compact design is an ideal solution for EMC testing where the reduced sized of the antenna is preferred to minimize chamber wall coupling and increasing the half power beamwidth to a more acceptable angle that will cover the whole device under test. Constructed of lightweight aluminum, the LPA2G Log Periodic Antenna has been manufactured to operate over a very wide bandwidth (290 MHz - 2 GHz). Weighing in at just 1.5 pounds, this Log Periodic Antenna is one of the lightest antennas commercially available.
The LPA2G Log Periodic Antenna is the standard workhorse of any EMC compliance test house. The LPA2G has an excellent front to back ratio and cross-polarization properties that is required per CISPR 16-1 that greatly reduces measurement uncertainty. This linearly polarized antenna is an ideal solution for radiated emissions and normalized site attenuation.
Applications
The log periodic antenna is intended for general laboratory use in a wide variety of industrial and scientific applications and has been designed to be used in the process of generating, controlling, and measuring high levels of electromagnetic Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
Note
It is the responsibility of the user to assure that the device is operated in a location which will control the radiated energy such that it will not cause injury and will not violate regulatory levels of electromagnetic interference.
