Additional antennas
As a general purpose RF Spectrum Analyzer, RF Explorer can be used to measure and diagnose different
frequency bands. For physical reasons, there is no antenna design which can effectively work at all possible
frequencies, therefore we provide additional antenna choices based on required band.
Any 50ohm antenna can be connected to RF Explorer, but we selected, tested and validated a few convenient
quality antennas as listed below.
LTE antenna
The omnidirectional LTE multiband antenna is
designed for worldwide LTE / 4G cell reception, and
can be used for other purposes in the supported
frequency range of Frequency: 698-960 / 1710-2170 /
2500-2700 MHz.
It comes in a compact, robust articulated lightweight
design, making it an ideal choice for handheld RF
Explorer Spectrum Analyzer.
Cloverleaf dual band 2.4 / 5.8Ghz omnidirectional
The CloverLeaf omnidirectional antenna is the perfect choice to use RF
Explorer in 2.4Ghz and 5.8GHz bands.
CloverLeaf antennas have circular polarization and therefore can detect all
direct and bouncing signals, making a way superior choice to detect
interference and wanted radiations.
The main difference with other dual band antennas is the perfect coverage
in all directions, as opposed to whip and rubber duck dipoles which are
limited to vertically polarized signals.
It comes with standard SMA connector and robust ABS coverage to protect
internal Cloverleaf multi-petal design from damage.
