Description

Cavity Backed Spiral Antenna

4GHz to 8GHz

OBS-4080

The OBS-4080 is a compact, moderate gain, moderate VSWR, circularly-polarized cavity-backed spiral antenna designed to transmit and receive in the frequency band of 4.0 GHz to 8.0 GHz. The antenna exhibits excellent impedance matching and a well-defined radiation pattern.

It is capable of receiving both linearly polarized and circularly polarized signals. The linear gain (dBil) is about 3 dB lower than the circular gain (dBic).

The antenna offers advantages such as a low profile, planar aperture, no phase center offset, near-constant beam width across the frequency band, symmetrical radiation beam-width, high flexibility for portability, and lightweight design.

These features make it ideal for applications in electronic warfare, direction finding, telemetry, surveillance systems, and flush-mounted airborne installations. The antenna can also function as a broadband feed for reflector antennas.

The antenna’s dimensions are a diameter of 68mm and a height of 50mm.
