Products
Compass Technology Group designs and manufactures standard and custom-designed RF materials measurement systems for use in a laboratory, a manufacturing environment, and in the field. From automated robot systems to ruggedized hand-held devices, we are always innovating to meet the challenges our clients face. Our equipment comes with our in-house-developed CTGcalc™ software for data acquisition, analysis, and display.
RF Measurement Equipment Solutions
Free Space Methods
The free space methods illuminate a material specimen with microwave or millimeter wave energy transmitted and received by some sort of antenna fixture.
Transmission Line Methods
The transmission line methods determine intrinsic RF properties of materials by measuring the transmission and/or reflection of a material specimen placed within the fixture.
Resonant Methods
The resonant methods determine RF material properties using the resonance method, which works by creating a resonant cavity from a finite length of transmission line.
Microwave NDE Systems
The microwave non-destructive examination (NDE) systems are integrated with miniaturized microwave analyzers to characterize a range of materials, composites, and components.
Specialized Probes
Compass Technology Group’s specialized probes use CEM inversion instead of physics approximations to enable measurements that were not previously possible.
CTGcalc™ Software
Compass Technology Group’s CTGcalc™ software is a suite of software applications that are used with RF material measurement equipment and acquire data, calibrate that data, and then process that data to provide the parameter of interest.
