Product Overview

TDK RF Solutions’ LPDA-0801 is a medium gain Log Periodic Dipole Array that provides strong performance over the operating frequency range of 80 MHz to 1 GHz. The LPDA-0801 features very high power handing (2.5 kW continuous) capabilities to accommodate the most extreme EMC test requirements.

Patent-Pending Design The LPDA-0801 features a patent-pending boom/feedline design that greatly enhances the antenna’s performance over traditional LPDA models while maintaining a compact form factor. This unique design facilitates heat transfer, which yields very high power handling with extremely low loss and greatly improved efficiency.

Dual Use The LPDA-0801 is designed for immunity measurements, but the reduced-sized precision feedline cross section translates into low cross-polarization and excellent pattern symmetry, making the LPDA-0801 an excellent emissions measurements as well.

Robust Construction The LPDA-0801 is precision built to very tight tolerances and features an ultra-robust mechanical design, resilient gold chromate finish, and a highly durable feed to withstand the rigors of daily use in EMC test environments. The antenna can be mounted on a conventional antenna tower or on one of TDK’s line of antenna masts.
