The TBMA5B is an active Monopole Antenna, expanding the Tekbox product range of affordable EMC pre-compliance test equipment.
The monopole antenna is designed for radiated emission measurements within the frequency range 9 kHz – 30 MHz, according to CISPR 16. The monopole antenna has a rod with height of 104 cm and provides excellent sensitivity to carry out radiated emission measurements as specified in CISPR 25 or MIL-STD-461G.
The TBMA5B consists of an impedance converter, a universal charger, a 10 mm diameter rod, a 60 cm x 60 cm ground plane and a standard 10pF calibration adapter. Furthermore, it includes the coaxial cable with ferrite and grounding equipment required under MIL-STD461G. The impedance converter is equipped with a ¼” thread to attach it to conventional tripods.
