QRH18EC Quad Ridged Horn Antenna | 1 GHz – 18 GHz

with online calibration protocol and dataset

The Dual-Polarized Broadband Horn Antenna QRH18EC operates from 1 – 18 GHz and features a 3D-printed lens that boosts gain up to 22 dBi. Integrated spirit bubble levels ensure precise alignment, and each antenna is calibrated in our anechoic chamber with full data available via our Antenna Portal. Supplied with a durable L-shape holder, this antenna delivers reliable, high-performance results for broadband measurement applications.
