A Data Sheet ANTENNAS LPDA-8003 Log Periodic Dipole Antenna Product Overview The TDK RF Solutions LPDA-8003 Log Periodic Dipole Antenna is a new generation compact antenna used for transmitting and receiving broadband radio signals. It is especially suited for dual band communication testing where the antenna must not interfere with the measurement environment. The LPDA-8003 provides optimal performance over the wide operating frequency range of 800 MHz to 3 GHz. The LPDA-8003 features reduced cross polarization, improved pattern symmetry, and moderate power handling capability, making it an excellent choice for both communications testing as well as the most stringent metrology applications. Leading-Edge Design The LPDA-8003’s compact design features a reduced boom size which results in excellent cross polarization rejection. The antenna’s patent-pending balun design provides improved pattern symmetry and a low VSWR. The TDK RF Solutions LPDA-8003 Log Periodic Dipole Antenna features an improved design offering superior performance over the ultrawide frequency range of 800 MHz to 3 GHz. Applications Features Compact broadband design Communications equipment testing Improved pattern symmetry Reduced cross polarization Land mobile communication bands, GSM, ISM testing Moderate power capability (500W) Site attenuation Fits common antenna mounts; TDK RF Solutions mounts are also available Calibration Transmission loss measurements Individually calibrated according to ANSI C63.5 with signed certificate of calibration 1101 Cypress Creek Road Cedar Park, Texas 78613, USA 1-512-258-9478 FAX 1-512-258-0740 A ANTENNAS LPDA-8003 Log Periodic Dipole Antenna Electrical Characteristics Ordering Information Frequency Range: 800 MHz to 3 GHz Product: Gain: 8 dBi Log Periodic Dipole Antenna VSWR: 2:1 average Model Number: LPDA-8003 Polarization: Linear Warranty: 1 year limited Power Handling: 500W CW Feedpoint Impedance: 50 ohms nominal To place an order or to learn more about the TDK RF Solutions products that best meet your needs, contact your TDK sales representative: Mechanical Specifications Size: 91 cm x 23 cm x 3 cm (36” L x 9” W x 1” H) Weight: <1 kg Construction: Aluminum with gold chromate finish RF Connector: N-type female TDK RF Solutions Inc. 1101 Cypress Creek Rd.
