FARRAN
Brand distributed by Welco

mmWave solutions, test systems and waveguide components up to 500 GHz

Farran Technology develops millimeter-wave systems, subsystems and components for Test & Measurement, 5G/6G communications, radar, imaging, space and advanced research.

When a project enters Q, V, E, W, D bands and beyond, simply attaching an adapter and hoping for the best is not enough. You need extenders, front ends, waveguide components and measurement benches built to avoid turning every dB into a lab problem.

Key points
  • RF, microwave and mmWave solutions from 20 GHz to 500 GHz.
  • Frequency extenders for VNA, signal generator, spectrum analyzer and antenna test.
  • Waveguide components: LNAs, power amplifiers, mixers, multipliers, detectors and filters.
  • FMCW radar front ends, passive imaging and radiometers for detection systems.
  • In-house design, manufacturing and testing with ISO 9001:2015 quality.

Farran solutions for test, measurement and millimeter-wave systems

Farran is suitable when you need high-frequency S-parameter measurements, mmWave signal generation and analysis, radar front ends, waveguide components or custom subsystems. The strength of the brand lies in its combination of standard products, custom development and application expertise in test, communications, space, radar and imaging.

Welco supports product selection based on operating band, waveguide or coax interface, required dynamic range, LO/IF, power, noise figure, calibration, mechanical integration and availability.

From measurement requirement to the right configuration

With Farran, you do not just choose a part number. You build a real RF chain: base instrument, extender, waveguide band, conversion, calibration, power, dynamic range, interfaces and mechanical constraints. Miss one detail and the setup will make you pay for it.

Band analysis

Evaluation of operating frequency, waveguide band, coax or waveguide interface and compatibility with the existing setup.

Measurement setup

Support in choosing between VNA extenders, generator extenders, analyzer extenders, antenna test and noise figure systems.

Custom and integration

Handling of special requests for subsystems, front ends, custom modules, mechanical constraints and dedicated testing.

Typical applications

Where to consider Farran

Farran is suitable for projects where frequency increases, measurement becomes delicate and “we will see later” costs more than the component. In other words, this is not a brand to choose by guesswork.

Key application points
  • mmWave S-parameter measurements for components, antennas, filters, amplifiers and waveguide devices.
  • Signal generation and analysis for R&D, validation, production and automated test equipment.
  • 5G/6G development, OTA testing, channel sounding, backhaul and high-frequency communications.
  • Radar, FMCW front ends, detection systems, passive imaging and radiometry.
  • Space, Earth observation, scientific research and custom subsystems for Q, V, E, W and D bands.
