1.0 INTRODUCTION
Product Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren 3165 Series Absorber Nested Dual Polarized Dual Vivaldi Array Antenna is designed for
applications that require minimum e󰀨ect from the source antenna, such as in chambers where the Device Under Test
(DUT) is illuminated from di󰀨erent directions. Each antenna in the 3165 Series is dual-linearly polarized and capable
of simultaneously measuring two orthogonal components in the eld.
3165-01-SQ
The 3165 Series possesses low VSWR while maintaining
high directivity. This allows use in the illumination of
the DUT without a󰀨ecting adjacent antennas in a multi-
antenna installation.
Model 3165-01
The Model 3165-01 has a frequency range of 600 MHz
to 6 GHz, which covers most of the current wireless
technologies e.g. 4G LTE, 5G FR1 and WiFi. It is designed to be nested in the anechoic absorber lining of a
chamber, and when installed in this conguration, will exhibit very low reectivity, even when the input ports are
mismatched. The normal incidence reectivity is below 30 dB for most of the frequency range.
Model 3165-04
The Model 3165-04 has a frequency range of 600 MHz to 10.6 GHz, which covers most of the current wireless
technologies e.g. 4G LTE, 5G FR1, WiFi and UWB. It is designed to be nested in the anechoic absorber lining of
a chamber, and when installed in this conguration, will exhibit very low reectivity, even when the input ports are
mismatched. The normal incidence reectivity is below 30 dB for most of the frequency range.
Model 3165-05
The Model 3165-05 has a frequency range of 400 MHz to 7.2 GHz, which covers all of the current wireless
technologies e.g. 4G LTE, 5G FR1 and WiFi. It is designed to be nested in the anechoic absorber lining of a
chamber, and when installed in this conguration, will exhibit very low reectivity, even when the input ports are
mismatched. The normal incidence reectivity is below 30 dB for most of the frequency range.

MG Series
The MG Series allows you to magnetically attach the
antenna to a positioning system, existing bracket, or
shielding.
SQ Series
The SQ Series includes brackets that allow you to
manually adjust the pan and tilt of the antenna. These
brackets mount to a 50mm square tube.
3165-01-SQ
3165-01-RD 3165-04-MG
RD Series
The RD Series includes a xture that allows you to manually adjust the pan and tilt of the antenna. The xture is
designed to be attached to a round tube adjustable up to 50 mm (diameter).
