- For use with N6841A RF Sensor, N99XX handheld spectrum analyzers, spectrum analyzers, or any receiver
Product Description
For your spectrum monitoring or interference detection applications, having an antenna that covers the entire frequency range of interest would be most convenient. Assembling discone antennas is time-consuming and usually has to be done on-site as they are hard to transport without damaging the elements and may require multiple antennas to cover the full frequency range of the receiver. Other antennas may not have uniform gain patterns that are required by received signal strength geolocation algorithms.
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N6850A Broadband Omni Antenna is a passive, omnidirectional antenna designed for receivers that operate up to 6 GHz. With this antenna, you can minimize mounting complexity by mounting only one very compact antenna. Its low profile design makes it ideal for inconspicuous spectrum monitoring applications. Its uniform gain pattern makes it ideal for time difference of arrival or for received signal strength geolocation techniques.
Mounting
There are 4 threaded inserts and 4 through-holes for mounting the antenna. You may use the enclosed mounting bracket or devise your own mount.
The 4 threaded inserts will accept 1/4”-20 x 0.5” (inch) length machine screws with ¼” washer. The through-holes will accept 1/4”-20 x 1” (inch) bolt and nut. When used with our mounting bracket, you may mount with either the 4 through-holes or the 4 threaded inserts.
The mounting bracket can be vertical pole or horizontal rail mounted with 2 U-bolts (not included). All slots accommodate U-bolts for 1” to 3” diameter pipe.
