3180C Broadband Mini-Bicon – Replaced by 3180D

Frequency Range: 30 MHz – 1GHz (Cage), 30MHz – 3GHz (Cone )

The ETS-Lindgren Model 3180C Broadband Mini-Bicon Antenna has been designed for optimal performance across the frequency range of 30 MHz – 1 GHz (cage elements) and 30 MHz – 3 GHz (cone elements). The Model 3180C’s uniquely designed elements provide a omnidirectional pattern, without the beam splitting.

The Model 3180B is ideal for the free space NSA (FSNSA) test for fully anechoic rooms. Its small size allows for harmonic monitoring when testing per the IEC 61000-4-3.

The Model 3180C covers the traditional frequency range EMC measurements. Additionally, the Model 3180B covers all of the VHF and UHF bands, making it ideal for spectrum monitoring of FM, TV and some cellular phones and with the small cone elements in place, the 3180C can be used up to 3 GHz.

The Model 3180C has been designed to have a radiation pattern that is omnidirectional. The elements have been optimized to avoid any splitting of the main radiation beam in the elevation cut.

Model Frequency Range VSWR Ratio (Average) Maximum Continuous Power Impedance (Nominal) Connectors Pattern Type Polarization
3180D (Cage Elements) 30 MHz to 1 GHz ~3:1 250mW 50 Type N (f) Omnidirectional Linear
3180D (Cone Elements) 30 MHz to 3 GHz ~3:1 250mW 50 Type N (f) Omnidirectional Linear
