DP-Series Precision Dipole Antennas
Product Overview
TDK Precision Dipole Antennas are half-wave,
fixed length precision dipoles designed to gener-
ate traceable calibrated fields or to measure elec-
tric fields at their respective frequency. The DP-
series antennas offer low gain and essentially per-
fect cross-polarization rejection, and are typically
used as a reference or standard gain antenna, or
as a polarization standard.
Dipole Test Sets The DP-Series Dipole Antennas
are designed with operating frequencies matched
the operating frequencies of common mobile radio
devices, and are available in sets that correspond
to communication systems used in Europe, North
America, and Asia, including GSM, TDMA, PCS,
Bluetooth, and others. Custom frequencies are
available. TDK Dipole Antennas are specifi-
cally designed as calibration refer-
ence sources for transmitting and
receiving the optimum field
strength within each antenna’s
respective frequency range.
Applications
 Calibration
 Communications testing
 Antenna pattern measurements
