1.0 Introduction The ETS-Lindgren Model 3162 Series Field Generating Pyramidal Horn was developed to meet the following specifications for automotive EMC component testing: GMW3097 (3164-01) ES-XW7T-1A278-AC (3164-01, 3164-02) These tests require that the Equipment Under Test (EUT) be exposed to a pulsed peak field level of 600 V/m at a distance of 100 cm from the front of the horn when the EUT is placed on a metallic top test bench.
Standard Configuration The standard configuration for the Model 3162 Series consists of one pyramidal horn antenna with a coax-to-waveguide adapter.
Angled Orientation Ford Motor Company is studying the benefits of a vertical orientation of the horn with a slight angle or tilt. Contact Ford for permission prior to using this set up.
The following graph illustrates the power requirements for vertical and horizontal polarization at a 70 cm distance once the horn is angled.
