SBA9119 meets CISPR 16-1-4 for site verification above 1GHz. Used in combination with SBA 9112, it can become an excellent antenna covering the frequency range of 1-18 GHz. If common microwave antennas (such as logarithmic or horn antennas) are used to verify the test site, the results will be insufficient, because the directional gain antennas in these patterns do not consider the characteristics of the test site.
The main purpose of the microwave biconical antenna is to evaluate the test site, measure the field strength (frequency selection) and generate a specific field strength (such as ERP or EIRP). Due to its broadband characteristics, it is not necessary to replace the antenna as frequently as a half-wave dipole antenna, thereby saving measurement time. Microwave biconical antennas allow continuous frequency sweeps to be performed across the entire frequency range. Due to its similar pattern, fixed phase center and high power handling capability to dipole antennas, SBA 9119 can replace half-wave dipole antennas in many occasions.
SBA 9119 is not suitable for very low limit radiation emission tests. Horn and logarithmic antennas are more suitable for this purpose due to their better antenna coefficients. A typical application of SBA 9119 is its use as a (highly linear) broadband near-field probe due to its small size.
