PBA-2030 

Precision Biconical Antenna 

Product Overview 

The TDK PBA-2030 Precision Biconical Antenna is 

a new generation biconical dipole that covers the 

operating frequency range of 20 MHz to 300 

MHz.  The PBA-2030 offers an unprecedented 

combination of power handling, balance, and 

pattern control, which makes it an excellent choice 

for both immunity and emissions measurements. 

Immunity and Emissions Measurements 

 For 

radiated immunity testing, the PBA-2030 is a highly 

efficient radiator with a low VSWR (

age).  The PBA-2030’s moderate power handling 

capability (300W CW) accommodates the major-

ity of IEC 1000-4-3 immunity test applications. For 

emissions testing, the PBA-2030’s improved balun 

provides superior patterns and balance, while the 

internal choke effectively provides immunity to ex-

ternally induced imbalance. 

Precision Design 

 Designed in-house by our prod-

uct design engineers, the PBA-2030 is manufac-

tured using tight-tolerance, precision fabrication 

methods to minimize intrinsic uncertainties. This me-

chanically-precise, weld-free design yields predict-

able performance and delivers accurate, con-

sistent measurements.
