1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren Model 3160 Series Pyramidal Horn Antenna is a series of
pyramidal standard gain horn antennas designed specifically for utilization in
emissions and immunity testing over the frequency range of 1 GHz to 40 GHz.
The Model 3160 Series includes models 3160-01 through 3160-10.
Each Model 3160 Series antenna is linearly polarized and has medium gain,
wide half-power beamwidth (HPBW) in both the horizontal and vertical planes,
low VSWR over the recommended operating frequency range, and constant
antenna factors so that the antennas can be used without looking up tables or
charts.
The performance of the Model 3160 Series is precise and predictable through
design parameters. Both input and output are well matched to 50 and 377
respectively. Comparisons of measured versus computed gain and antenna
factors have been found to be within 0.5dB. The Model 3160 Series antennas
are considered to be the standard reference of measurements above 1 GHz, as
is the resonant dipole for measurements below 1 GHz.
Each Model 3160 Series antenna is ruggedly constructed for good
electromagnetic performance.
Models 3160-01 through 3160-06 are welded using precise toolings

and aluminum sheet metal.
Models 3160-07 and 3160-08 are investment casted using an

aluminum compound.
Models 3160-09 and 3160-10 are electroformed using deposition of

copper at a rate of 0.001 inch/hour for the highest precision available.
Models 3160-01 through 3160-08 are conversion coated and painted

for protection against corrosion and changes in the weather.
Introduction
Each Model 3160 Series antenna comes completely assembled with a

high performance, low VSWR, coax-to-waveguide adapter. Below 18 GHz, the
transition from coax to waveguide is made using a female Precision N connector.
Above 18 GHz, the transition uses female K connectors. The coax-to-waveguide
adapters are the only power-limiting component, and can be removed if
high fields are desired. For this purpose, the RF generator must be equipped with
waveguide ports. In such a configuration, fields in excess of 10,000 V/m at
10 meters can be obtained.
Each Model 3160 Series antenna comes with a standard 1/420 mount.
Horizontal and vertical polarizations are obtained by rotating the antennas from
one position on the mount to the other. The mounts have been placed so as not
to interfere with incoming electromagnetic energy. For the variety of mounting
options available for the Model 3160 Series, see Mounting Instructions on
page 20.
The Model 3160 Series may be used for either transmission or reception. The
50 ohm input impedance is well-matched for generating high electric fields with
little power reflected back to the amplifier, reducing the chance of saturation. As
a receiver, the antennas are matched to free space (377 ohms). Typical
performance data is provided beginning on page 37. Methods for radiated
emissions measurement are described on page 43.
For TEMPEST applications, all Model 3160 Series antennas, especially models
3160-03 and up, can be mounted on standard 12-, 18-, or 24-inch reflector
dishes. The resulting antenna factor is usually about 20 dB lower than that of the
antennas by themselves. However, the HPBW drops to less than 50 and the
far field distance increases drastically making near field performance less
predictable.

Introduction
Tripod Options
Do not mount the Model 3160-01 or
Model 3160-02 to a 4-TR.
ETS-Lindgren offers the following non-metallic, non-reflective tripods for use at

both indoor and outdoor EMC test sites.
4-TR TripodConstructed 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 TripodConstructed 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.

Introduction
2.0 Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance,
follow the safety information in the
ETS-Lindgren Product Information
Bulletin included with your shipment.
WARRANTY
Maintenance of the Model 3160 Series is

limited to external components such as
cables or connectors.
If you have any questions concerning
maintenance, contact ETS-Lindgren
Customer Service.
When not in use, the Model 3160 Series Pyramidal Horn Antenna
should be stored on a shelf face down to keep dust out of the feed
areas.
If the Model 3160 Series is used outdoors, the antennas should be

checked for water accumulations. Water has a high dielectric constant
and can alter performance.
If an antenna is dropped, the feed/horn joint should be checked for

misalignment.
Annual Calibration
The electromagnetic performance of the Model 3160 Series is almost exclusively
dependent on the physical dimensions of the horns. Comparisons with
computed gain and antenna factor result in differences within 1 dB. Therefore, it
is not necessary to calibrate Model 3160 Series antennas; only a mechanical
check is required to guarantee performance. However, if calibration is required,
see the Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment for information
on ETS-Lindgren calibration services.

Typical Gain and Antenna Factor (3160-06)

Following is a plot of computed and measured gain and antenna factor versus
frequency. The measured and computed results are within 3 dB, which is typical
of pyramidal horns. Differences are attributed to imperfections in the
measurements setup. The left vertical scale is for the gain measured in dBi, and
-1
the right vertical scale is for the antenna factor in dB(m ). The antenna factor
spans only 0.6 dB from minimum to maximum; therefore, it may be considered
constant over the entire frequency band without loss of accuracy. The gain is
computed from the antenna factor using:
G(dB) = 20 log (fGHz ) - AFdB(m-1) + 30.22

Typical Data
6.0 Radiated Emissions Measurements

Measure Ambient Field Strength Values
1.
Install the antenna where measured field strength values are desired.
2.
Adjust the desired orientation of the antenna for both bore site direction
and polarization.
3.
Connect the output connector of the antenna to the input of the

receiving system using a low VSWR, low loss coaxial cable. The
Model 3160 Series Pyramidal Horn Antennas are designed for
receiving systems having 50 input impedance. Other values of
receiving system input impedance will require correction for the
difference in impedance mismatch.
4.
Set desired measurement frequency on the receiving system. Make

sure that the selected frequency is one that can be used with the
antenna that is connected to the system.
5.
Measure the RF voltage, Va, referenced to the input port of the

receiving system. The units of the measurement should be in decibels
referenced to 1 microvolt, dB(V). If the units of measurements are
millivolts, they should be converted to dB(V) by:
Va 20 log 10 ( RF voltage in microvolts )

Va 20 log 10 Vd
6.
Determine the field strength at the frequency of observation by adding

the voltage reading on the receiving system in dB(V) to the
-1
antenna factor in dB(m ):
RF Voltage, dB(V) + Antenna Factor, dB(m-1) =

Field Strength, dB(V/m)
Ea = Va + AF
Radiated Emissions Measurements
43
The losses of the coaxial cable, Ac , should be included in the

computations. In this case, the previous equation becomes:
RF Voltage, dB(V) + Cable Loss, dB +

Antenna Factor, DB(m-1) = Field Strength, dB(V/m)
Ea = Va + Ac + AF
Conversion Formulas
Following are some useful conversion formulas, including how the constants are
obtained:
EQUATION 1
dBm=dB(V)-107
The power is related to the voltage and the system impedance as:
V2
R
In a 50 system, the previous equation becomes:
10 log10 P 20 log10 V 10 log10 (50)

Converting from dB to dBm for power and from dB(V) to dB(V) for
voltage, the overall constant becomes:
30 120 10 log10 ( 50 ) 107
44
EQUATION 2
dB(mW /m2) = dB(V/m)-115.8

The constant in this equation is obtained by considering the
2
Poynting vector which relates the power density in (W/m ) to the
electric field strength in (V/m) by:
P=
Where is the free space characteristic impedance equal to 120 .

Transforming the previous questions to decibels and using the
2
2
appropriate conversion factors to convert dB(W/m ) to dB(mW/m ) for
power density and dB(V/m) to dB(V/m) for the electric field, the
constant becomes:
30 120 10 log10 (120) 115.8

EQUATION 3
dB(V/m) = dB(V) + AF
EQUATION 4
V/m = 10
dB ( V/m)-120
20
EQUATION 5
dB (A/m) = dB(V/m) - 51.5

The magnetic field strength is related to the electric field strength via
the characteristic impedance of free space. When the transformation is
made to decibels, the constant becomes:
45
20 log 10 (120 ) 51. 5

EQUATION 6
A/m = 10
dB ( A/m)-120
20
EQUATION 7
dB(W/m2) = 10 log (V/m A/m)

EQUATION 8
dB(mW/m2) = dB(W/m2) + 30.0

EQUATION 9
dB(pT) = dB(A/m) + 2.0

The magnetic flux density B in (T) is related to the magnetic field
strength H in (A/m) by the permeability of the medium in (H/m). For
-7
free space, the permeability is o = 4.10 H/m. Converting from (T)
to (pT) and from (A/m) to (A/m) and taking the log, the constant
becomes:
240 120 20 log 10 ( 4 10 7 ) 2. 0

Appendix B: Power Requirements

The Model 3160 Series Pyramidal Horn Antenna is an efficient transmitting
antenna, capable of generating high electric field strengths using little power. For
a given electric field strength, the required power can be computed using the
transmission equation:
Power Transmitted=
Pt
(Field Strength ) 2 ( Distance in meters) 2

(30 Numeric Gain )
2
E R2
30 g
The typical power requirements in Watts for the 3161-06 are shown in Table 11
Table 12 on page 56. Distance is measured from the aperture of the antenna.
The maximum continuous power that can be applied is 250 W, and the maximum
peak power is 8 kW. For example, to generate an electric field equal to 100 V/m
at a distance of 3 meters at a frequency of 6.25 GHz, the calibration antenna
-1
factor read from Table 1 is 29.9 dB(m ). The gain in dB is computed using:
G(dB)=20 log(FGHz ) AF + 30.22

G(dB)=20 log(6.25) 29.9 + 30.22 = 16.2
The numeric gain is obtained as:
g = 101.62 = 42.1
Applying this equation, we obtain:
