Model 3186 is a dual stacked log periodic dipole array antenna (LPDA), where each of the two separate LPDAs comprising the dual array are 100 Ω antennas. This array provides increased gain when compared to a single LPDA. The arrangement of the two LPDA in the arrays provides a very constant pattern across the entire frequency range.

This antenna is ideal as a receive antenna for CISPR emissions testing above 1 GHz. It is also ideal when performing the site VSWR test as per CISPR 16.
