Within the terahertz technology gap lies a vast reserve of bandwidth poised for development. However, creating user-friendly technologies capable of generating, manipulating, and detecting radiation within these frequency bands is not only technically challenging but has also been hindered by the limitations of available THz-capable components. That is until we developed our MMW isolators. Read more about how our MMW and THz components are bridging [...]

VDI manufactures extenders for new, compact USB VNAs. The company can extend the test and measurement capabilities up to the lower end of the THz regime (400 GHz) bridging the gap between low cost and high performance. The enabling technology for VDI is our patent-pending millimeter wave hybrid circulator (150 to 190 GHz). Read the full story in U.S. Tech.

Recently, researchers at IMRA – a creative research and innovation organization that develops essential technologies for industrial use – overcame many of the issues associated with the THz regime when working at frequencies above 300 GHz. In a recent article from eeDesignIt, they detail how our millimeter wave isolators helped advance the research in the pursuit of a molecular clock. Read the article here:

The scientific community is striving to bring life to the so-called “dead zone”, a region of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum between electronics and optics. This band, often referred to as the “terahertz gap”, resides between 100 GHz and 30 THz. EverythingRF recently published an article mentioning how our isolators are helping bridge the gap.

For a 3rd consecutive year, Micro Harmonics has secured its place on the annual Inc. 5000 Regionals List of fastest-growing private companies in the United States. The prestigious list compiled by Inc. Magazine has Micro Harmonics ranked at number 106 in the Mid-Atlantic region. “We take great pride in our consistent growth and are honored to be acknowledged alongside an esteemed roster of thriving companies,” [...]

“We were really struggling with bad mismatches in our waveguide system and kept getting these really bad frequency ripples,” explains Ed Loewenstein, Chief Architect at NI – formerly known as National Instruments.  Learn how NI was able to overcome these standing waves within the D band in a new article published in Industry Today. 

Our founder – and one of the world’s leading experts in Faraday Rotation Isolators, David Porterfield – recently wrote a paper on the science behind why traditional isolators designed for room temperature operation do not work well at cryogenic temperatures. The paper also demonstrates how our newly designed isolators operate with high isolation and low insertion loss at MMW frequencies even at temperatures as low [...]

Engineers working within the D band are increasingly looking for better ways to solve the issue of reflected waves. "When you get above 110 GHz, it’s sort of uncharted territory,” explains Ed Loewenstein, Chief Architect at NI. “Your connectivity gets strange, and cables no longer work well. So, most things are done in waveguides.” Signal reflections, also known as mismatches, are undesirable waves, or ripples, [...]

Faraday rotation isolators designed for room temperature operation do not work well at cryogenic temperatures. The primary cause is temperature-dependent ferrite magnetization. Everything RF recently published a technical paper written by Micro Harmonics Founder, David Porterfield that addresses how to achieve optimal performance in a Faraday rotation isolator at cryogenic temperatures.

The call for ‘more D band’ has gone out. With the ability to transmit 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps), the D band will unlock a number of technologies across a wide range of industries. Electronic Specifier recently published an article featuring Micro Harmonics and how our millimeter wave components are helping to unlock commercial applications that include high-precision sensing, radio astronomy, and airport security detectors.
