Reference Antennas

Magnetic Dipoles

652 MHz - 5637 MHz

Magnetic Dipoles are used for gain reference, efficiency reference for low gain antennas or for a chamber reflectivity evaluation. The Magnetic Dipole or magnetic loop antenna is complementary to the electrical dipole, with a similar radiation pattern but in cross polarization. CTIA/3GPP low gain antenna measurement.

TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE

Low loss and high efficiency
Azimuth pattern symmetry is within ± 0.1 dB variation as specified by the CTIA for ripple testing according to the OTA Test Plan

DESIGN

End-fed sleeve dipole technology, minimizing cable and feed point interaction
Innovative choke design further reduces cable interaction by attenuating the natural return currents from the dipole
Azimuth pattern symmetry thanks to entirely symmetrical design

SURFACE TREATMENT

Surtec 650 according to MIL-C 5541E class 3
Polyurethane paint
