The PRA_10s is MWI’s highest-frequency Gaussian Polyrod Antenna (GPA), specifically engineered for the 75-125 GHz range. It provides an ultra-precise, collimated, planar-wave RF beam for the characterization of materials at the extreme edges of the millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-millimeter-wave spectrum, encompassing the full W-band and F-band.

Core Engineering Specs

• Model: PRA_10s
• Frequency Range: 75 GHz – 125 GHz
• Technology: Polyrod Gaussian Beam (collimated output)
• Inspection Zone: Achievement of a highly planar wave within 1 inch from the antenna tip.
• Beam Profile: Diffraction-limited, ultra-narrow directional beam profile designed to provide maximum spatial resolution for microscopic material variations.
• System Performance: Delivers a dynamic range greater than 70 dB when integrated with MWI measurement systems.
• Compatibility: Universal VNA integration for precision data acquisition at the high-frequency limits of modern RF engineering.

Primary Utility The PRA_10s is the premier solution for 6G research, advanced semiconductor characterization, and high-resolution imaging applications. Its focused Gaussian beam allows for the precision measurement of extremely small samples and thin-film layers without the “wrap-around” interference and scattering typically associated with high-frequency characterization.
