The AHA-118 is a broadband, linearly polarized Double Ridge Horn Antenna with built-in, 40 dB gain, low noise preamplifier. This active antenna operates over the frequency range of 700 MHz to 18 GHz, with excellent efficiency from 1 GHz to 18 GHz.

This measurement system arrangement, with preamplifier directly behind the antenna, rather than next to (or embedded into) the remotely located test receiver, increases measurement sensitivity, as well as accuracy, by amplifying the received signals prior to being significantly attenuated by the long cable run between the test site and test equipment area.

Construction

The AHA-118 is designed to be extremely durable, making it an ideal choice for daily use in laboratory environments. The antenna is constructed using a heavy gauge, high grade aluminum with a corrosion resistant coating. It is fitted with high quality, precision N-type coaxial connectors at the antenna terminals, as well as the preamplifier input/output terminals.
