Data Sheet

PBA-2030

 Precision Biconical Antenna

Product Overview

TDK RF Solutions’ 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 unprec-

edented combination of power handling, balance,

and pattern control, which makes it an excellent

choice for both immunity and emissions measure-

ments.

Immunity and Emissions Measurements 

 For

radiated immunity testing, the PBA-2030 is a highly

efficient radiator with a low VSWR (

average).  The PBA-2030’s moderate power

handling capability (300W CW) accommodates

the majority of IEC 1000-4-3 immunity test applica-

tions. For emissions testing, the PBA-2030’s

improved balun provides superior patterns and

balance, while the internal choke effectively

provides immunity to externally induced imbalance.

Precision Design 

 Designed in-house by our

product design engineers, the PBA-2030 is

manufactured using tight-tolerance, precision

fabrication methods to minimize intrinsic uncertain-

ties. This mechanically-precise, weld-free design

yields predictable performance and delivers

accurate, consistent measurements.
