Compact, Low-Cost THz Test System

ABSTRACT: There has been a growing interest and increased R & D activities in applying THz technology to biomedical, security, communications and science/manufacturing imaging, etc. However, even with all these research activities, there are very limited choices of test and measurement instruments in the THz range. Despite wide availability of RF/microwave (below THz) and optical (above THz) network analyzers, there is no commercial network analyzer product that covers the THz band. SA Photonics is pleased to propose the development of a tunable, broadband and high dynamic range THz Network Analyzer (TNA). The TNA will be constructed based on SA Photonics PDM and TAR technologies. The SA Photonics TNA will provide wide bandwidth, high signal dynamic range, precision frequency response measurements, wide operating temperatures, compact, rugged, reliable and low cost. BENEFIT: SA Photonics will base on our PDM and TAR technologies to develop a tunable, broadband and high dynamic range THz Network Analyzer. The SA Photonics TNA will provide wide bandwidth, high signal dynamic range, precision frequency response measurements, wide operating temperatures, compact, rugged, reliable and low cost.
