RF power amplifiers are needed for a variety of different applications and tests including conducted RF and radiated immunity tests. These amplifiers are ideal solutions for integrating into existing setups to meet higher test levels or requirements. Bulk Current Injection (BCI) is one of the most common conducted RF applications where external amplifiers are commonly required.
Biconical antennas are common in a variety of different immunity and emissions tests including CISPR, IEC, MIL-STD-461 and many others. They provide an ideal solution for covering ~20 MHz to 300 MHz for radiated testing, with some going as high as 18 GHz. The biconical offers portability, with many models being disassembled to allow for easy shipping, while providing the ability to meet many power requirements above 2000 watts. Common manufacturers include:
