Radiation Detectors A radiation detector is a device that measures nuclear, electromagnetic, or optical radiation. Nuclear radiation detectors identify nuclear radiation by measuring the emission of ionizing radiation of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. A nuclear radiation detector, also known as a Geiger counter, consists of two main components: the processing electronics and the Geiger tube. Geiger tubes are filled with low-pressure inert gases such as helium, argon, or neon. If radioactive radiation occurs, the noble gases become ionized. An anode inside a Geiger tube records the number of ionized particles that is numerically related to the intensity of radioactive radiation. The radioactivity measurements are then displayed on the LCD screen of a Geiger counter or nuclear radiation detector. Measuring nuclear radioactivity and classifying nuclear radioactivity values is very important. For example, terrestrial gamma radiation is typically measured at 0.03 - 0.3 �µSv/h (microsieverts per hour). This "normal" range of oscillations is determined by naturally occurring radioactive elements in the ground, such as uranium and potassium. To calculate this factor, cosmic radiation must be taken into account. For example, taking cosmic radiation into account, the maximum radioactivity content at the Schneefernerhaus, Germany's highest environmental research station, is equal to approximately 110 �µSv/h. At PCE Instruments you will find three types of Geiger counters or nuclear radiation detection equipment to help you measure radioactivity: 1) alpha radiometers, 2) meters for detecting alpha, beta and gamma radioactivity, and 3) wearable Radioactive meter on the body.

Dolph has developed a comprehensive line of waveguide ortho-mode transducer covering C, X, Ku and Ka bands. The devices offer very high performance at a very competitive price. Orthomode Transducers separate a signal applied to the circular waveguide input port into its two linear orthogonal components at the rectangular waveguide output ports between the polarizations. In reverse, two orthogonal linearly polarized signals combine, producing an output in the circular waveguide port. The resulting polarization may be linear, circular, or elliptical depending on the relative phase and amplitude of the two orthogonal input signals. Please call us with your specification and discuss your needs with one of our sales engineers. Note: Take Ka-Band Waveguide Ortho-Mode Transducer (OMT) as an example. FAQs of OMT (Orthogonal Mode Transducer) Definition of OMT (Orthogonal Mode Transducer) An Orthogonal Mode Transducer (OMT) is a waveguide component commonly referred to as a polarization duplexer. Orthogonal mode transducers are used to combine or split two orthogonally polarized microwave signal paths. One of the paths forms the uplink and travels through the same waveguide as the receive signal path or downlink path. Application of OMT (Orthogonal Mode Transducer) Orthogonal mode transducers are used to combine or separate two orthogonally polarized microwave signal paths. One of the paths forms the uplink and travels through the same waveguide as the receive signal path or downlink path. Such equipment may be part of a Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) antenna feed or a terrestrial microwave radio feed; for example, OMTs are often used with feed horns to isolate orthogonal polarizations of signals and transmit transmit and receive signals to different ports. There are many microwave waveguide manufacturers, but we are one of the best choices for you.
