Since 1995, ProSensing has delivered two W-band cloud radars to the University of Wyoming as well as a dual-frequency X/W-band cloud radar to the National Research Council of Canada. The narrow beamwidth available from small antennas as well as the availability of high power klystron amplifiers makes W-band an ideal choice for airborne cloud measurements.
