EMF Meters

EMF measurements are measurements of ambient electromagnetic fields that are performed using particular sensors or probes, such as EMF meters. These probes can be generally considered as antennas although with different characteristics. In fact, probes should not perturb the electromagnetic field and must prevent coupling and reflection as much as possible in order to obtain precise results. EMF probes may respond to fields only on one axis frequency selective measurements in which the measurement system consists of a field antenna and a frequency selective receiver or spectrum analyzer allowing to monitor the frequency range of interest. Amplified, active, probes can improve measurement precision and sensitivity but their active components may limit their speed of response.

SMA Connector

PCB edge mount – SMA RF connector. Perfect for prototyping with the GPS and Cellular devices that require an antenna connection. These connectors have a female signal pin and will correctly mate with the original SMA type antennas.

Telescopic Antenna SMA – 300 MHz to 1.1 GHz (ANT700)

This ANT700 is a telescopic antenna designed for operation from 300 MHz to 1.1 GHz with a total length that is configurable from 9.5 cm to 24.5 cm. Each ANT700 is constructed of stainless steel and features an SMA male connector, rotating shaft, and adjustable elbow.
