R&S®He016 ACtIVe AntennA SYSteM
9 kHz to 80 MHz (vertical)
600 kHz to 40 MHz (horizontal)
Omnidirectional reception of vertically and horizontally polarized signals

The R&S®HE016 active antenna system is a combination of the R&S®HE010E active rod antenna and two crossed HF dipole antennas. The two horizontal dipole antennas are combined via a 90° coupler to produce an omnidirectional radiation pattern.
The high sensitivity of the antenna system is comparable to that of passive systems, though the R&S®HE016 requires less than one third of the antenna surface of a passive system.
Key facts  Omnidirectional reception of horizontally and vertically
polarized signals  High linearity  High immunity to lightning strikes in the vicinity  Extremely compact  High sensitivity ­ comparable to that of passive
antennas that are three times larger
