AM-741 Com-Power Monopole Antenna

Features:

• Frequency Range: 9 kHz to 60 MHz
• Battery Operated
• Individual Calibration Included
• Active Matching Network
• Fiber Optic Remote Monitor/Control option
• Three-year Standard Warranty

Applications:

• The AM-741 Active Monopole Antenna is used for radiated emissions measurements, typically below 30 MHz. It is commonly used for tests according to RE102 of MIL-STD-461, Section 21 of RTCA DO-160, CISPR 25 (automotive), and other various standards. It is required per most test procedures, that the counterpoise be bonded directly to the ground plane on (or over) which the Equipment Under Test (EUT) is installed.
