Compact and lightweight, the R&S ADD507 direction finding (DF) antenna covers 9 MHz to 8 GHz, reducing the need for multiple antennas. Expanded VHF coverage improves weak signal detection, making the antenna well-suited for mobile interference hunting, emitter tracking, and close-range monitoring.

The ADD507 features active and passive antenna elements with an active/passive switch that adjusts to the signal environment with a mouse click. Passive mode bypasses all active components, boosting resistance to strong unwanted signals.
Antenna polarization is vertical, and system DF accuracy is typically 2° RMS in a reflection-free environment. The AD507 is approximately 0.33×0.27 m (13×10.63 in.) and weighs about 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). An optional vehicle adapter with a magnetic mount simplifies roof mounting.
