The PRA_15s is a specialized ultra-high-frequency Gaussian Polyrod Antenna (GPA) designed for broadband millimeter-wave (mmWave) characterization across the 42-90 GHz range. This antenna provides a collimated, planar-wave RF beam essential for high-resolution Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in the V-band and E-band spectrums.

Core Engineering Specs

• Model: PRA_15s
• Frequency Range: 42 GHz – 90 GHz
• Technology: Polyrod Gaussian Beam (collimated output)
• Inspection Zone: Achievement of a highly planar wave within 1 inch from the antenna tip.
• Beam Profile: Ultra-narrow directional beam profile engineered to prevent sample over-illumination and maximize spatial resolution at extreme frequencies.
• 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 high mmWave bands.

Primary Utility

Ideal for characterizing small material samples, thin films, and high-frequency radome materials. The PRA_15s is optimized for 5G/6G backhaul testing and automotive radar applications where energy localization and the reduction of signal scattering are critical for data accuracy.
