In the ever-evolving field of sensor technology, precision and reliability are key. AKON’s line of millimeter-wave sensors stands out as a premier choice for industries requiring high-performance detection systems. These sensors are not just versatile; they are crafted to meet the rigorous demands of military, space, and industrial applications. Let's explore what makes AKON's millimeter wave sensors a leader in their class.

Key Features

1. Versatile Diode Types: AKON's sensors are available with Tunnel, Schottky, and Zero Bias Schottky diodes, each offering unique advantages depending on the application. These diodes ensure that the sensors can deliver excellent performance across various use cases.
2. Outstanding Sensitivity: With a Total Sensitivity Spec (TSS) as low as -50 dBm, AKON’s sensors are highly responsive to minute signal changes. This level of sensitivity is crucial for detecting low-power signals, especially in challenging environments.
3. High K-Factor Range: The K factor, which measures the sensor's sensitivity to input power changes, ranges from 700 to 4000 mV/dB. This wide range allows for precise measurements, making these sensors ideal for applications where accuracy is paramount.
4. Wide Frequency Coverage: These sensors operate over a broad frequency range of 2 to 18 GHz, offering flexibility across various applications. Whether you’re working in telecommunications, radar systems, or industrial automation, AKON’s sensors can handle the task.
5. Robust Packaging Options: Understanding the need for durability, AKON offers its sensors in compact and ruggedized packaging. Available in Drop-In, SMA, and SMP configurations, these sensors are built to withstand harsh conditions without compromising performance.

Reliability and Durability

AKON’s sensors are designed to endure the harshest environments, from extreme temperatures to intense mechanical shock and vibration. The sensors' construction includes thin film circuitry, DC bias inductors, and bypass chip capacitors, which not only provide excellent electrical repeatability but also maintain performance over a wide temperature range.

Military-Grade Quality

Reliability is at the core of AKON's products. To ensure this, AKON conducts Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) testing on all sensors, adhering to Mil-STD-883 level B standards. This rigorous testing process ensures that each sensor performs consistently in critical situations, making them a trusted choice for military and space applications.
