ETS-Lindgren's Model 3149 Hybrid Log Periodic and Bowtie (BiConiLog) Antenna has an ultra broadband frequency range, accepts high power input, and is size-efficient for easy transport and use in compact chambers. Rugged construction assures dimensional and electrical stability over extended use. The electrical characteristics of this antenna were modeled using powerful workstations running electromagnetic simulation software. Equally important, experienced RF engineers worked with our manufacturing team to produce a practical and affordable realization of the modeling process. On completion, the antenna was tested and calibrated at our A2LA accredited lab facility. All production units are individually calibrated at this facility.

Construction
The model 3149 is constructed to maximize structural integrity to better maintain its electrical properties. The benefits are better measurement repeatability, lower uncertainty values and longer calibration validity. This antenna's rugged design makes it ideal for constant use. Custom aluminum extrusions are used for the boom material. Dipole elements securely attach with capped Allen screws, yet also allow repair and replacement if necessary. An all-weather, RF transparent radome protects the high frequency element section. Tubular bow-tie elements fit to the balun box using positive aligning, yet easily attached, compression fittings. The finished antenna receives a tough, durable powder coat finish.
