The EFG-3 E-field generating antenna from Instruments for Industry (IFI) generates strong electric field intensities for use in radiated susceptibility test systems. A conventional 50-ohm termination of appropriate handling capability allows for the dissipation of any unused power. Consequently, the EFG-3 can handle up to 1000 watts of continuous power. The efficient performance of the EFG-3 is based on its physical configuration as a radiating transmission line. Efficient and conservatively rated broadband transformers are used for impedance matching. The matching configuration achieves high power-to-field conversion efficiency by stepping up the source voltage to twice the input power. The EFG-3 offers a matched load to the driving source over its entire useable frequency range. Look for more product information on the IFIwebsite.
