Bearings can be found by manually pointing the antenna in the direction where the signal is strongest.

Features & benefits

Distinct directional pattern

For conclusive measurement results

The R&S®HE800-PA features a microwave horn with a unique directional pattern. This allows users to clearly determine the direction by pointing the antenna towards the source of a signal.
In reflective surroundings, multiple measurements from different locations may be needed.

High sensitivity

Thanks to integrated low noise preamplifier

The R&S®HE800-PA handheld directional antenna combines a high gain horn antenna with a built-in low noise amplifier (LNA). The high gain increases the sensitivity of the system.

Extremely wide frequency range in a compact size

For easy handling

The R&S®HE800-PA is an extremely wideband horn antenna with ergonomic handle grip.
This compact solution enables operators to cover the wide frequency range of 18 GHz to 44 GHz using a portable system.

Fatigue-free operation

Antenna design and material keep weight to a minimum

The R&S®HE800-PA handheld directional antenna with preamplifier has a low-weight design and is easy to handle. This minimizes operator fatigue when measurements take somewhat longer.
