Vivaldi Antenna UWB-3, 675-12000 MHz, SMA

TSA antennas are either constructed (etched) as a PCB or cut from sheet metal. The UWB-1 is made of solid aluminium sheet metal, the rear end is angled and can be used as a bracket for installation of the antenna. The connector is an SMA female socket, which is the usual connector for microwave applications. The usable frequency range is 430 MHz to 6 GHz for the 9dBi model UWB-1, 600 to 6000 MHz for the 13 dBi model UWB-2 and 675 to 12000 M;Hz for model UWB-3. These frequencies cover all services in the UHF and SHF range (GSM, DECT, LTE, Wifi, Wimax, ADS-B, Radar and much more). This makes this antena very well suited for spectrum monitoring with an SDR or a classical spectrum analyser. But also specialised applications like ground penetrating radar or EMC lab measurements are typical applications for such an antenna.

The UWB antenna has a relatively flat SWR response over the entire frequency range, for model UWB-1 the gain is approx. 9 dBi at the center, 12 dBi for model UWB-2 and 9 to 12 dBi for UWB.3. Each antenna is adjusted individually. The bracket at the rear of the antenna is suitable to use a 38mm U bolt (not included) for installation on a mast or tripod. The UWB antennas are not intended for permanent outdoor use.
