Passive Imaging & Radiometers (PMMW)

High-Sensitivity Imaging in All Visibility Conditions

Farran’s Passive mm-Wave (PMMW) Imaging and Radiometer solutions are designed for detecting naturally emitted thermal radiation at millimeter-wave frequencies. These systems enable high-resolution imaging in challenging environments such as fog, clouds, or through clothing—making them ideal for applications like concealed object detection and aircraft landing assistance.

Operating primarily in the low-attenuation atmospheric window from 80–110 GHz (W Band), these systems capitalize on the transparency of the mmWave spectrum for superior performance in poor visibility. Radiometer and passive imaging solutions are available up to 345 GHz.

What customers are saying

Testimonials and reviews from our customers
As a test engineer my role is to ensure that new designs, as well as established products, are measured with the utmost accuracy. Over the years, Farran’s FEV extenders have delivered unparalleled dynamic range and long-term stability of the measurements without the need for frequent calibrations. They can be easily configured with wide range of our VNAs and are seamlessly controlled via the VNAs user interface. Great customer support and direct access to Farran’s engineers, coupled with the FEV performance and their reliability, make my job simple and stress-free.
Principal Test Engineer European Radar & Sensor Testing Enterprise
As a manager of the R&D group, we needed to pivot to mm-wave frequency for our new development plan. Our existing test equipment required upgrading and after an extensive search, we found Farran’s FEV range of extenders to be the best solution for our needs. We had direct communications with all the relevant Farran personnel from the outset and were able to get real time feedback and support for the many questions we had prior to purchase. Overall, Farran’s FEV range is the perfect solution to our R&D mm-wave requirements.
