Model 3162-02 Field Generating Pyramidal High Gain Horn is purpose-built for automotive radar pulse immunity testing, specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of Ford ES-XW7T-1A278-AC. This automotive EMC standard requires that the Equipment Under Test (EUT) be exposed to a pulsed peak electric field strength of 600 V/m at a precisely defined test distance of 100 cm (39.37in) from the front aperture of the horn.

While traditional horn antennas often struggle to achieve this requirement at such a short distance, the 3162-02 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.
