The GBA_005-1s is a high-power Gaussian Beam Array designed for low-frequency material characterization and large-scale Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE). Spanning 50 MHz to 1 GHz, this system utilizes an array configuration to synthesize a directional Gaussian beam at wavelengths where standard horn antennas become physically impractical.

Core Engineering Specs

• Model: GBA_005-1s
• Frequency Range: 50 MHz – 1 GHz (VHF/UHF Spectrum)
• Technology: Gaussian Beam Array synthesis for low-frequency energy control.
• Polarization: Single Linear (Standard).
• Application Scale: Engineered for the inspection of very large composite structures, heavy-duty aerospace panels, and civil infrastructure.
• Dynamic Range: High-sensitivity design providing greater than 70 dB for deep penetration into lossy or thick dielectric materials.
• System Integration: Designed for use with MWI heavy-duty robotic scanners and lab-grade VNAs.

Primary Utility

The GBA_005-1s is the solution for NDE tasks that require deep penetration and energy localization at the lower end of the RF spectrum. By synthesizing a Gaussian beam, it minimizes the signal scattering and environmental interference typically associated with VHF/UHF testing. It is ideally suited for detecting deep-subsurface flaws in structural composites and characterizing low-frequency radar-absorbing materials.
