HBA-2030 High Power Biconical Antenna
Product Overview
The TDK HBA-2030 High Power Biconical Anten-
na is a new generation biconical dipole that co-
vers the operating frequency range of 20 MHz to
300 MHz. The HBA-2030 offers an unprecedent-
ed combination of high power handling, balance,
and pattern control, which makes it an excellent
choice for immunity measurements.
Precision Design Designed in-house by our prod-
uct design engineers, the HBA-2030’s patent-
pending balun design provides
greatly improved
balance at low frequencies. The unique cage
design provides improved antenna factor at the
low end as well as mode-free operation to 300
MHz and higher. The HBA-2030 is manufactured
using low-tolerance, precision fabrication methods
to minimize intrinsic uncertainties. This mechanically
-precise, weld-free design yields predictable per-
formance and delivers accurate, consistent meas-
urements.
Immunity and Emissions Measurements For
radiated immunity testing, the HBA-2030 is a high-
ly efficient radiator with a low VSWR (<2.5:1 aver-
age). The HBA-2030’s high power handling ca-
pability (3500W continuous) accommodates the
majority of immunity test applications.
Applications
 Designed primarily for immunity testing, but the
balance and pattern of the HBA-2030 easily
meet the requirements for emissions measure-
ments
Features
 Improved balun provides superior patterns
and balance
 Improved cage design provides enhanced
low frequency performance and mode-free
operation to 300 MHz and higher
 High power handling (3500W)
The TDK HBA-2030 High Power Biconical An-
tenna features a patent-pending design that
provides optimum performance over the fre-
quency range of 20 MHz to 300 MHz.
