Biconical Antenna OBC-860

OBC-860

The OBC-860 is an innovative antenna, and designed for mobile or handheld power testing. Typically, traditional radiation testing methods require substantial power and are performed at the distances of 1 to 3 meters due to the intense
electric field strengths. However, the unique shell-shaped design of this model is able to reduce the testing distance to just 5 millimeters. It covers a broadband width of 800 MHz to 6 GHz, using approximately 10 to 20 watts of transmit power to generate electric field strengths that surpass those of mobile phones and handheld transmitters. On top of that, what makes this antenna special is its flexibility. By simply switching accessories, the OBC-860 can be transformed into a completely different antenna¡ªa Biconical Antenna. This transformation expands its usage, make it well suited for a variety of purposes, including evaluating test sites, measuring field strength, and generating precise field strengths like Effective Radiated Power (ERP) or Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP). With a broad bandwidth, this antenna supports continuous scanning across the entire frequency range, eliminating the need for time-consuming antenna changes that tuned half-wave dipoles typically require.
