checking reveals that it is not working correctly, replace it.
6.3.3 Cross-polarized Vivaldi antenna R&S TS-F24-V3
The cross-polarized (CP) Vivaldi broadband antenna R&S TS-F24-V3 with two SMP
connectors features excellent transmission properties in the frequency range from 1.7
to 20 GHz. The antenna is based on a perpendicular arrangement of two printed
boards with structured metal coatings that spread out in a logarithmic shape. The deliv-
ery includes a special antenna fixture kit and four RF cables, each with SMP (female)
and SMA (male) connectors, 2x length 40 cm and 2x length 55 cm, respectively.
Two versions of the antenna are available:
●
R&S TS-F24-V3 var.2, order no. 1525.8987.02, with two standard 40 cm and
55 cm RF cables, each
●
R&S TS-F24-V3 var.3, order no. 1525.8987.03, with two special 55 cm RF cables
that have minimized length tolerance
These special cables support ultra-wideband (UWB) test scenarios, which require
precise time measurements. With equal cable lengths in the paths of multiple mea-
surement antennas, you can minimize measurement uncertainties due to cable
delay. To exclude uncertainties due to deviations of cable length outside of the
chamber, we recommend combining up to six of these antenna kits via a common
SP6T switch.
