Grace, horn antennas need to be calibrated at least once. Since they have no active elements or baluns, you can "recalibrate" them by taking pictures of them and guaranteeing that they have not received any damage within the last year (dents, scratches, etc.). We calibrate our horns every year but

Dear Members, Does a standard gain horn antenna (http //www.ets-lindgren.com/manuals/3160.pdf) need to be calibrated when used for radiated emission measurement? A sales representative keeps telling me that calibration is not required for this type of antennas. This is against my understanding
