1.0 Introduction
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 n and 377 n
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.
www.ets-lindgren.com Introduction 9
Each Model 3160 Series antenna comes with a standard 1/4-20 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.

Warranty information
12 Introduction www.ets-lindgren.com
2.0 Maintenance
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.

4.0 Mounting Instructions
The Model 3160 Series Pyramidal Horn Antenna is equipped with a standard 1/4-
20 mount. The mount is placed so as not to interfere with incoming
electromagnetic energy.
Once mounted, remove the red cover from the Type N connector and attach a
cable between the antenna and a transmitting/receiving RF device. Rotate the
antenna for horizontal and vertical polarizations as needed.
The 3160-09 and 3160-10 antennas ship with a supplemental mount that may be
used with the 4-TR Tripod, 7-TR Tripod, mast, and 2x2 boom.

5.0 Typical Data
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 the right vertical scale is for the antenna factor in dB(m 1). 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:

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 n 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(|jV). If the units of measurements are
millivolts, they should be converted to dB(jV) by:
Va = 20 log10 (RF voltage in microvolts )
Va = 20 log 1 0 Vd
6. Determine the field strength at the frequency of observation by adding
the voltage reading on the receiving system in dB(jV) to the antenna
factor in dB(m 1):
Ea = Va + AF
The losses of the coaxial cable, Ac , should be included in the computations.
In this case, the previous equation becomes:
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:
R
In a 50 n system, the previous equation becomes:
Converting from dB to dBm for power and from dB(V) to dB(^V) for
voltage, the overall constant becomes:
30-120-10log10(50) = -107
P=H n
EQUATION 3
V/m = 10 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:
20log10(120^) = 51.5
EQUATION 6
dB (|i A/m)-120
EQUATION 7
dB(W/m2) = 10 log (V/m A/m)
EQUATION 8
EQUATION 9
dB(pT) = dB(^A/m) + 2.0
