Cost Reduction

Millimeter Wave Vector Network Analysis requires 4 port VNA and VNA Frequency Extender. Our mmWave Controller make it possible to use 2 port VNA for this application. As a result, customers can reduce cost for mmWave Vector Network Analysis equipment by using 2 port VNA and applying C&K Tehchnologies' affordable mmWave Controller.

 

Deployed and Proven

C&K Technologies' mmWave Controller is currently used successfully by the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS). KRISS uses the VEC to test 77GHz Automotive Radar chip.

 

In October this year, another C&K Technologies' mmWave Controller unit will serve the Electromagnetic Wave Technology Institute within the Korea Radio Promotion Association. EWTI uses the mmWave Controller to measure S-parameters of Millimeter-wave devices.
