The PRA_90s is a high-precision Gaussian Polyrod Antenna (GPA) designed to produce a collimated, planar-wave RF beam for localized material characterization and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications.

Core Engineering Specs

• Model: PRA_90s
• Frequency Range: 7 GHz – 16 GHz
• Technology: Polyrod Gaussian Beam (collimated output)
• Inspection Zone: Highly planar wave achieved within 1 inch from the antenna tip.
• Beam Profile: Narrow, directional beam designed to prevent sample over-illumination and improve spatial resolution.
• System Performance: Dynamic range greater than 70 dB when integrated with MWI hardware and software.
• Compatibility: Industry-standard VNA Universal Compatibility.

Primary Utility

Enables precision energy localization for measuring dielectric properties, reflection coefficients, and transmission coefficients. This system simplifies NDT procedures by effectively minimizing signal scattering and sample wrap-around.
