ETS-LINDGREN’S MODEL 3142E-PA BICONILOG is a hybrid antenna that combines innovative design, com-pact size, and excellent performance with a pre-amplifier module. This antenna enables users to measure a frequency range of 30 MHz to 6 GHz in one sweep, negating the need for multiple antennas and time-consuming equipment setup. The antenna and pre-amplifier module are calibrated together including the cable section that connects the mod-ule to the antenna port. Any possible mismatch between the pre-amplifier and the antenna is taken into ac-count in the antenna factor.

The pre-amplifier attached to the antenna has a frequency range of 30 MHz to 6 GHz and a minimum typical gain of 55 dB. The gain flat-ness is ± 2.5 dB and the noise figure is 3 dB above 200 MHz and 5 dB typical below 200 MHz. The power output is +20 dBm minimum at the 1 dB point.

The input and output characteristics of the pre-amplifier are an input and output VSWR of 2.0:1 maxi-mum. The operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +75°C (-4°F to +167°F).
