1.0 Introduction

The ETS-Lindgren Model 3109 Biconical Antenna is designed to operate over

the 20 MHz to 300 MHz frequency range for generating high levels of

electromagnetic (EM) fields. The ability to handle high power levels over a

broadband makes the Model 3109 excellent for use in radiated susceptibility

testing.

The assembly design of the Model 3109 provides for easy storage and

portability. The standard biconical elements are made from welded aluminum.

The 4-to-1 ratio balun network is fabricated from TFE thermoplastics and

specially machined brass and aluminum support and contact parts. The bifilar

inductors of the balun are wound in precision machined cuts to provide high

barrier insulation between windings while simultaneously giving good coupling

between bifilar windings.

The balun acts as base on the Model 3109 and is configured to accept an

ETS-Lindgren tripod or most other tripods. For information on tripods, see

Tripod Options on page 9. For the variety of mounting options available for the

Model 3109, see Mounting Instructions on page 19.

The Model 3109 is individually calibrated at 1 m per SAE ARP 958 and 3 m and

10 m per ANSI C63.5. Actual factors and a signed Certificate of Calibration

Conformance are included.

Because slight variations in testing environments can affect the field

characteristics around an antenna, it is recommended that a field probe be used

to accurately determine the field strength in the region under test.

Optional Items

MODEL 3109P—PORTABLE ELEMENTS

Collapsible folding elements are available, making the Model 3109 portable and

ideal for field use. Both the standard rigid and optional folding elements attach to

the balun using screw mounts. This makes changing between the two types of

elements quick and easy.

MODEL 3109PX—EXTENDED PORTABLE ELEMENTS

An extended version of the portable element is available. These folding elements

are twice as long as the standard elements. The longer elements enable you to

generate high fields at low frequencies with reduced applied power.

CARRYING CASES

Carrying cases for biconical antennas and portable elements are available.

TRIPOD OPTIONS

ETS-Lindgren offers the following nonmetallic, non-reflective tripods for use at

both indoor and outdoor EMC test sites.

4-TR Tripod—Constructed of linen

phenolic and delrin, designed with an

adjustable center post for precise height

adjustments. Maximum height is 2.0 m

(80.0 in), and minimum height is 94 cm

(37.0 in). This tripod can support up to

an 11.8 kg (26.0 lb) load.

7-TR Tripod—Constructed of PVC and

fiberglass components, providing

increased stability for physically large

antennas. The unique design allows for

quick assembly, disassembly, and

convenient storage. Allows several

different configurations, including options

for manual or pneumatic polarization.

Quick height adjustment and locking

wheels provide ease of use during

testing. Maximum height is 2.17 m

(85.8 in), with a minimum height of 0.8 m

(31.8 in). This tripod can support a

13.5 kg (30 lb) load.
