The R&S HE400BC doesn't require a power supply for operation since it doesn't have an LNA, making it a fully passive antenna solution. It offers the lowest insertion loss of its type and uses a manual compass for the user to check orientation or to change direction. The antenna handle is a cost-effective solution for receivers and analyzers, not just for those from Rohde & Schwarz but also for third-party receivers as well.
