The GBA_33-50d represents the high-frequency peak of the GBA series, providing precision Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) from 33 GHz to 50 GHz. This system is purpose-built for the most demanding millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications, offering the unique combination of a deep inspection field and integrated dual-polarized data acquisition.

Core Engineering Specs

• Model: GBA_33-50d
• Frequency Range: 33 GHz – 50 GHz
• Integrated Dual Polarization: Engineered for simultaneous vertical and horizontal measurement, drastically reducing the time required for full material tensor characterization.
• Enhanced Inspection Field: Achievement of a highly planar wave within 3 inches from the antenna tip, providing an industry-leading depth of field for high-frequency inspection.
• Dynamic Range: Greater than 70 dB, optimized through specialized mechanical damping and software noise reduction.
• Technology: Gaussian Beam focus designed for extreme stability in the Q and V bands.
• Compatibility: Universal VNA integration for laboratory-grade S-parameter precision.

Primary Utility

The GBA_33-50d is the definitive tool for characterizing advanced dielectric materials used in next-generation satellite communications and aerospace radomes. Unlike standard high-frequency antennas that have very shallow focal depths, the GBA_33-50d’s 3-inch planar zone allows for the inspection of thick, low-loss composites with unparalleled spatial resolution and speed.
