The Model 3162-01 Field Generating Pyramidal High Gain Horn is specially engineered for automotive radar pulse immunity testing, meeting the stringent requirements of GMW 3097 and Ford ES-XW7T-1A278-AC specifications. These automotive EMC standards mandate that the Equipment Under Test (EUT) be exposed to a pulsed peak electric field strength of 600 V/m at a test distance of 100 cm (3.28 ft) from the horn aperture.

While traditional horn antennas often struggle to achieve this requirement at such a short distance, the 3162-01 antenna solves this through a carefully optimized near-field radiation pattern, designed to maintain high field uniformity and maximize electric field strength at 1 m test distance.
