Patent Images
1. An antenna installation assembly for the evaluation of shielding effectiveness of a boundary, comprising:
- an enclosure defining a center region and an outer periphery;
a conductive spiral antenna defining a center origin point positioned within the interior of the enclosure, the center origin point being generally aligned with the center region of the enclosure;
a coaxial cable in electrical communication with the spiral antenna and attached to a center origin point thereof, the coaxial cable extending toward the outer periphery of the enclosure; and
a cable interface in electrical communication with the coaxial cable and mounted to the enclosure, a shielding effectiveness test device being attachable to the assembly via the cable interface;
wherein a depth dimension of the enclosure is substantially less than lateral dimensions of the enclosure.

Abstract
A low profile broadband antenna capable of measuring shielding effectiveness (SE) of a shielded boundary above or below ground for permanent installation behind walls, under floors, above ceilings and other areas with limited transverse (as opposed to lateral) available space is provided. A spiral antenna having a wide operating bandwidth is positioned within the interior of an environmentally sealed enclosure. The enclosure likewise has a low profile suited for installation in such locations.
