The Tekbox TBMA8 is a hybrid measurement antenna featuring a biconical and logarithmic periodic antenna, a frequency range of 30MHz to 3000MHz, and a maximum input power of 130W. This model is ideal for EMC pre-compliance testing. The VSWR values are typical for what is expected from hybrid measurement antennas. It has a standard ¼" thread on the bottom, allowing mounting on the TBTP5 and TBTP6 tripods, which carry the weight and torque of this antenna. On the TBTP5, the antenna is mounted with the TBMA8-PAT tiltable adapter. Finally, the antenna comes with a robust carrying case.
