The Model 3160 Standard Gain Horns cover a multi-octave bandwidth of 1 GHz to 40 GHz. All models in the series are linearly polarized, have medium gain, optimum half power beamwidth (equal in both horizontal and vertical planes), and low VSWR. Antenna factors are constant throughout the entire operating frequency. ANSI C63.4 recommends the use of standard gain horn antennas as a reference standard above 1 GHz.

Model 3160-08 covers 12.40 GHz – 18 GHz (WR-62 waveguide, Type N female connector), with a typical gain of 16.7 dBi, antenna factor of 37.1 dB(1/m), maximum continuous power of 200 W and typical field strength of 435 V/m.
