The Antenna attribute identifies the type of antenna included with or compatible with a meter, analyzer, or accessory. Antennas are crucial for capturing and measuring electromagnetic fields accurately, and the right type ensures that readings reflect real-world exposure across the intended frequency ranges.
Different antennas serve different purposes. Log-periodic antennas, for example, are widely used for professional RF surveys because of their high directivity and broad frequency coverage, making them ideal for pinpointing sources like cell towers or Wi-Fi routers. Omnidirectional antennas capture signals evenly from all directions, offering a quick and balanced overview of the surrounding RF environment.
Some instruments support interchangeable antennas, allowing users to adapt their meter to specific scenarios — switching between wideband monitoring, directional pinpointing, or specialized frequency bands. Multi-antenna kits, such as those included with advanced Gigahertz Solutions meters, give professionals maximum flexibility for both indoor and outdoor surveys.
By clearly listing the antenna type, Safe and Sound provides transparency about what users can expect from their instrument. This attribute helps customers choose the right tool for their needs, whether that’s a homeowner seeking a simple overview of their living space or a consultant conducting a detailed EMF site analysis.
In short, the Antenna attribute connects product performance directly to measurement capability, ensuring that customers select equipment designed for their specific goals — accurate, reliable, and suited to the task at hand.
