Product Overview

The TDK RF Solutions HPA-8003 H-Plane Array of Log Periodic Dipole Antennas is a new generation compact antenna used for transmitting and receiving broadband radio signals. It is especially suited for multi-band and broadband communication testing.

Performance The HPA-8003 provides optimal performance over the wide operating frequency range of 800 MHz to 3 GHz. The frequency range of the HPA-8003 is intended to cover the principal terrestrial telecommunications bands.

Leading-Edge Design The HPA-8003’s precision design features a reduced boom cross section which results in excellent cross polarization rejection. The quasi-frequency independent H-plane array equalizes E and H-plane beamwidths, reduces cross polarization, and provides better phase center localization. These features, combined with moderate power handling capability, make the HPA-8003 an excellent choice for both communications testing as well as the most stringent metrology applications.
