6.3.5 Wideband antenna R&S TS-F24WA1
The wideband spiral antenna R&S TS-F24WA1, order no. 1525.8670.02, features
excellent transmission properties in the frequency range from 0.3 to 6 GHz. The
antenna is based on a printed board with a structured metal coating that spreads out in
a spiral shape. The delivery includes a special holder kit for mounting the antenna and
an RF cable with two SMA (male) connectors.

This antenna can be used as a communication antenna, allowing to transmit signals
towards the DUT, and to receive signals from it. In this context, typical DUTs include
mobile communication devices based on, e.g., selected ISM bands, UHF, GSM,
UMTS, LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Zigbee and similar technology
standards.
Advantages of this antenna over the Vivaldi antennas and the Narrowband antenna
R&S TS-F24NB2 are:
●
A wide bandwidth, which ranges down to frequencies as low as 300 MHz
●
Absence of a defined polarization, which makes it unnecessary to match the direc-
tional characteristics of the antenna and the DUT
In combination with its special holder, you can mount the antenna directly into the
chamber. Chapter 7.12, "Installing the wideband antenna", on page 141 describes the
mounting procedure.
Align the male and female connectors precisely. With a torque wrench, apply the cor-
rect torque. Refer to www.rohde-schwarz.com/appnote/1MA99.
