// X1000 Series Scientific Radar: Beyond Innovation //
– Pocket-Size Sensor with Maximum Scientific Freedom
The X1000 series scientific radar sensors offer maximum freedom to advance your research. Based on our high-performance technology the sensors offer outstanding range resolution, stability and accuracy. Scientific variants of the X1000 series are equipped with a WR 6.5 (IEEE WM-1651) waveguide interface with an UG-387/U standard flange. Dielectric lens antennas are available as an alternative upon request. A plug & play and easy to use lab-suitable USB-C interface for power and data based on USBTMC, a SCPI-like protocol interface and an open source Python wrapper library offers convenient connectivity to connect with the research tools of your choice.

// Accessories & Options: High Stability Oscillator //
Our high stability oscillator option improves the accuracy and long-term stability of the radar technology used in our X1000 series scientific radar sensors. The overall achieved Stratum 3+ clock accuracy is +/-0.3 ppm initially, enabling true single micrometer level measurement accuracy. The provided temperature stability is +/-100 ppb and long-term stability is +/-320 ppb over 5 years.
This is especially useful in demanding ranging applications where the achievable accuracy of the sensor solution matters.
// Accessories & Options: Scientific Radar Lens Antennas //
// Accessories & Options: Mounting Hardware //
For maximum flexibility regarding means of mounting of our X1000 series radar sensors to existing equipment, we provide several different mechanical adapters. Options include e.g. a Thorlabs 50mm metric breadboard grid and 60mm cage system adapter or adapters for fruitcore 5-axis robots.
Ease of mechanical integration gets you started quickly and lets you worry about the more important issues.
// Accessories & Options: Ruggedized Carry Case //
Our X1000 series radar sensors are ruggedized and water-proof and can withstand very harsh environments. Still, in some cases such as a mobile laboratory setting it is beneficial to have a ruggedized protective case allowing you to effortlessly use our sensors in the field and have them protected during ground or air transport.
With this, we provide you with the ability to get your radar sensor safe to where it’s needed and back.
// Accessories & Options: Triple Flange Adapter //
X1000 sensors with co-polarized RX option provide a standard waveguide flange with a 3-in-1 waveguide. Additionally, our precision-milled brass triple flange adapter allows easy access to each of the radar channels with a separate standard waveguide flange.
With this option you unleash the full flexibility and get access to all three channels of your X1000 sensor.
