RF550 Active Monopole Antenna

1m monopole antenna as required for EMC emissions tests

The RF550 Active Monopole antenna is an active, general-purpose, receive-only antenna that covers 9 KHz – 30 MHz frequency range. It is ideal for instantaneous bandwidth scanning (without tuning) of electric fields in its frequency range and can drive any receiver with 50-ohm input impedance. This antenna is an ideal solution to perform FCC, MIL-STD and TEMPEST tests.

The RF550 comes with a telescoping rod, ground plane, high impedance matched preamplifier and battery charger. This active monopole 104cm rod antenna has a signal output connector is electrically bonded to the matching network case per MIL-STD 461F
