Millimeter Wave Sensors

Millimeter Wave Measurement System (MWMS)

SA Photonics has developed the Millimeter Wave Measurement System (MWMS) to test and calibrate high power millimeter wave sources and instrument test ranges. MWMS consists of a rugged photonic probe and a processing unit connected by up to 5 kilometers of fiber optic cable. The rugged probe detects millimeter wave emissions and relays the data back to the processing unit for characterization. Power density and frequency measurements are displayed on the processing unit.
