Test Hats & Hoods

Haigh-Farr test hats provide a tight EMI seal, minimizing RF leakage, typically to -80 dB or lower. We construct our test hats out of a solid aluminum, one-piece case with a conductive EMI gasket where the hat is in contact with the ground plane and the antenna. The coupling factor is a design parameter; however, it ranges from 4 dB to 30 dB, with each hat calibrated. Haigh-Farr hats are designed to work with single or multiband Flexislot™ and Patch antennas, as well as single or multi-channel Wraparound™ antennas.
