Compact Biconical Antenna 300MHz - 1GHz DPA 4000

Biconical UHF Broadband Test Antenna

The dipole antenna DPA 4000 operates
as a field strength measuring antenna in
the frequency range 300MHz - 1GHz.
Due to the broadband characteristics of
the DPA 4000, mechanical adjustments
are not required as with half-wave
dipoles. The DPA 4000 is, therefore,
suitable for automatic and day-to-day
EMI/EMC measurements. Despite the
broadband charateristics, it reaches
virtually the same gain, directivity and Typical Antenna Factor Typical VSWR
