The biconical antenna - Aeroflex (Willtek)
9170 is one of the important factors in the field of strength measurement. It converts electromagnetic fields, fields and power flux-densities into voltage and current so that it can be captured by a spectrum analyzer. A correction table (K factors) must be available to calibrate the antenna.
With this table, the measured level is converted into the respective quantities, fields (in V/m) and power flux-densities (W/m²). Aeroflex (Willtek) provides measurement antennas with appropriate correction factor tables. On the Aeroflex (Willtek) 9100 series Data Exchange Software, a standard tool supplied with the 9102, can also be used to collect data for antennas from other vendors and transfer them to the 9102.
The Aeroflex (Willtek) 9170 biconical antenna has a dipole-like structure and is therefore very symmetrical. Their characteristic isotropic is achieved by user rotation relative to the antenna in three planes. This means that the same antenna element is used for each of the different directions, resulting in unrivaled isotropy. The biconical antenna is best suited for high precision measurements. Frequency range: 60 MHz - 2.5 GHz, . Sensitivity: > 0.5 mV/m, Radar radome diameter: 200 mm, Length: 520 mm, RF connector: N-type
