Standard Spiral Antennas And RF/MMW Spiral Antennas

Source: Cobham
Spiral antennas are designed to radiate or receive RF energy over very broad frequency ranges while maintaining constant beamwidth. Additional design considerations we evaluate to maximize your system performance are low axial ratio, minimal squint and very small size relative to the wavelength of the lowest operating frequency. Cobham Sensor Systems spiral antennas are designed to operate in severe airborne and ground-based environments. The antennas can also be amplitude and/or phase matched for precision DF systems.

AHO-2036 Dual-Linear Polarized Broadband Horn Antenna

Cobham Sensor Systems has developed a unique, broadband dual-linear polarization horn antenna for use in multiple applications. This antenna provides numerous advantages when compared to conventional quad-ridged horns, including wider frequency coverage, smaller size and lighter weight. The AHO-2036 provides excellent performance from 1.5 GHz to beyond 23 GHz, and can be used as an illuminator for anechoic chambers, a feed for large reflectors or signal surveillance and jamming applications.
