A.H. Systems SAS-512-2 Log Periodic Antenna
INTRODUCTION
The SAS-512-2 Log Periodic Antenna (also known as a log periodic dipole array) is a
compact, lightweight antenna that has been designed to ensure maximum gain, low
VSWR and high power handling capabilities. This compact design is an ideal solution for
EMC testing where the reduced size of the antenna is preferred to minimize chamber wall
coupling and increasing the half power beamwidth to a more acceptable angle that will
cover the whole device under test. Constructed of lightweight aluminum, the SAS-512-2
Log Periodic Antenna has been manufactured to operate over a very wide bandwidth.
Weighing in at just 1.5 pounds this Log Periodic Antenna is one of the lightest antennas
commercially available.
The SAS-512-2 Log Periodic Antenna is the standard workhorse of any EMC compliance
test house. The SAS-512-2 has an excellent Front to back ratio and cross-polarization
properties that is required per CISPR 16-1 that greatly reduces measurement uncertainty.
This Linearly polarized antenna is an ideal solution for radiated emissions and normalized
site attenuation.

INTENDED PURPOSES
The log periodic antenna is intended for general laboratory use in a wide variety
of industrial and scientific applications and has been designed to be used in the
process of generating, controlling and measuring high levels of electromagnetic
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. It is the responsibility of the user to assure that
the device is operated in a location which will control the radiated energy such
that it will not cause injury and will not violate regulatory levels of
electromagnetic interference.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
The following is a recommend accessory list for the SAS-512-2 Log Periodic
Antenna:
CONNECTING ACCESSORIES:
PAM-0202
This preamplifier has a broad frequency range and at least 30 dB of gain. An
ideal solution for improving overall system sensitivity for various emissions
testing requirements.
SAC-211
Standard N(m) to N(m) RF cable made with RG-21 /U and optional ferrite
loading that can be made to your specified length. Other cable types available
upon request.
Adapters
Need an Adapter? We stock those as well.
MOUNTING ACCESSORIES:
AEH-510
Azimuth and elevation head to assist the test engineer in orientating biconical
antenna at the device under test.
ATU-510
Each tripod leg is independently adjustable in angle and length to facilitate
antenna height setting. The tripod legs have a rubber tip on one end for indoor
or hard surface use, and a metal spike on the other end for outdoor soft surface
(such as dirt) use.
LPM-510
The optional Log Periodic Tripod mount (LPM-510) mounts the antenna near
the CG of the antenna.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The SAS-512-2 Log Periodic Antenna is shipped fully assembled. If an optional
Log Periodic Tripod mount (LPM-510) was purchased, that will also be pre-
assembled and mounted to the antenna.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The SAS-512-2 is a lightweight, rear mount Log Periodic Antenna. Attach the
antenna to the azimuth and elevation head (AEH-510) through the screw hole in
the antenna base. The azimuth and elevation head (AEH-510) mounts to the
tripod (ATU-510) top and allows the antennas to be rotated 360 degrees and
tilted between horizontal and vertical polarization. Each tripod leg is
independently adjustable in angle and length to facilitate antenna height setting.
The tripod legs have a rubber tip on one end for indoor or hard surface use, and
a metal spike on the other end for outdoor soft surface (such as dirt) use.
Four extra holes are pre-drilled into the booms (at the approximate CG point) of
the antenna for an optional Log Periodic Mount (LPM-510). This allows an
optional center mount of the antenna where applications require it.
Mount the antenna such that the elements are parallel to the ground for
horizontal polarization testing, or perpendicular to the ground for vertical testing.
The horizontal beamwidth of the log periodic is approximately 5 degrees and it
should be pointed or aimed in the direction that the received signal is coming
from.

EMISSIONS TESTING MEASUREMENT POINT:
For 3 and 10 meter testing, the measurement is made from the center of the
antenna radiating elements and is annotated by a measurement point sticker
(per ANSI C63.5).
IMMUNITY TESTING MEASUREMENT POINT:
Measurement is made from the tip of the antenna and typically preformed at a 1
meter distance. (3 meters per IEC 61000- -3)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once the antenna is mounted to a mast or tripod, connect an N-type coaxial
cable from the antenna to a receiver or RF generator. The cable should be
matched to 50 ohms, relatively low loss and adequately shielded against
leakage such as RG-21 /U or better. For certain applications where an
increased dynamic range is required, an optional preamplifier (PAM-0202) may
be used to increase the total system sensitivity.
The Log Periodic Antenna is in the horizontal polarization when the antenna
elements are parallel to the ground, and vertical polarization when the elements
are perpendicular to the ground.
To minimize impedance mismatch errors, it is recommended that high-quality
in-line attenuators be used to reduce reflections. Connect the attenuator at the
antenna end of the transmitting cable, or when receiving connect the attenuator
at the measuring instrument or preamplifier input.
Dress the cables straight back from the antenna connector at least 1 meter
before being dressed vertically down to the ground plane. Signal cables that
are dressed orthogonal to the antenna elements will have minimal coupling to
the antenna field, but the cable shields may carry external currents caused by
impedance imperfections. Also, portions of the cables that are not straight down
or straight back will couple to the antenna fields.
