Horn Antennas
-
Broadband antennas, compared to half wave dipoles, reduce test time because the technician did not have to stop the test to adjust the dipole antenna for each frequency. Most compliance standards now require the use of such antennas. The latest version of Mil-Std 461E states the used of broadband double ridge guide horn antenna as the antenna of choice for frequencies above 200 MHz.

Full Band Phase Shifters
STP-18-10-M2
-
Full band phase shifters are micrometer-driven, waveguide-based phase shifters. The configuration of the micrometer-driven phase shifters is similar to that of level setting attenuators, where the phase shifting is caused by an E-plane dielectric insert in the rectangular waveguide. The amount of phase shifting is directly dependent on the volume of the insert. The VSWR and the insertion loss of these phase shifters are dependent on the frequency. The below standard offering covers the frequency range of 18 to 110 GHz and a phase shifting range of 180 degrees. These micrometer-driven phase shifters are typically used to introduce a certain amount of phase shifting when the absolute number is not a focus.
