Brand Antenna Types Description Link
Schwarzbeck LPDA/Hybrid Antenna LPDA (Log Periodic Dipole Array) and Hybrid antennas are designed for broadband EMC measurements, offering stable performance across a wide frequency range. They are commonly used for radiated emission and immunity testing in EMC compliance applications. Hybrid antennas combine the advantages of biconical and log periodic designs, enabling extended frequency coverage with a single antenna. Their robust construction and consistent gain make them suitable for accurate, repeatable measurements in EMC test environments. Link
Biconical Antenna Biconical antennas provide a clear advantage over conventional half-wave dipole antennas by removing the need for frequent element tuning. This helps reduce setup and measurement time while improving overall testing efficiency. Their broadband capability allows continuous frequency sweeps, which makes it easier to identify irregularities or anomalies during testing.

These antennas are widely used for emission measurements in the 20–300 MHz range, as well as for immunity testing, shielding effectiveness evaluations, and site validation. They can also function as passive field probes, delivering consistent and dependable performance across a variety of EMC applications.

With a wide range of available baluns and antenna elements, users can select the most appropriate antenna configuration to meet specific testing requirements.

Seibersdorf Labor GmbH PLA-SET for Site Validation The PLA set includes two active, battery-powered loop antennas designed for site validation applications. Covering a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 30 MHz, it is suitable for Normalized Site Insertion Loss (NSIL) and Shielding Effectiveness (SE) measurements.

The system supports convenient NSIL measurements at distances of 3 m, 5 m, and 10 m, providing sufficient dynamic range along with complete documentation and calibration. Setup and alignment are simple with the integrated tripod and laser alignment system, and a decoupling unit is included to prevent ground loops.

For Shielding Effectiveness (SE) testing, the PLA set offers high dynamic range, eliminating the need for an external power amplifier or low-noise preamplifier.
