• RPG founded in 1973• Specialized in the design and fabri- cation of microwave radiometers for mm- and submm-applications (radio astronomy, plasma physics, ESR spectroscopy, network analyzer frequ. extensions, remote sensing of atmosphere, space borne radiometers)• Development of radiometer sub- systems (oscillators, mixers, waveguide components, planar networks, amplifiers, optics, etc.)
12 work places for micro- controlled assembly of RF components• 5 test benches (spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, power detectors)• 8 work places in class 1000 clean room facility (200 m2)• Electro-forming facility (feedhorns, etching of microstrip circuit boards)• Environmental chamber (-40°C to +50°C, humidity control)
•Receiver assembly in clean room facility (class 1000) according to space qualification standards•All radiometer parts (except for MMICs and electronic parts) are fabricated in- house•Thermal cycling of radiometer in environmental chamber (at RPG), vibration tests, burn-in
