SHF Directional Antenna System

Key Facts
Picture R&S®AC180 Antenna

1 GHz to 18 GHz/0.85 GHz to 26.5 GHz

Extremely broadband directional antenna for radiomonitoring, steerable in azimuth and elevation

The R&S®AC180 is a stationary directional antenna that can be adjusted in azimuth and elevation.

The reflector has a diameter of 1.8 m and – depending on the feed used – receives signals in the range 1 GHz to 18 GHz or 0.85 GHz to 26.5 GHz. The frequency range can be extended to up to 40 GHz by flange-connected options.

The R&S®AC180 is used for radiomonitoring tasks, for instance.
