uSkan
uSkan is an ultra-fast submillimeter imaging system that incorporates uFrame radar arrays, a proprietary patented technology developed by Optikan. These arrays are composed of a multitude of radar pixels centered at 120 GHz, similar to those in uSense or uSense LITE, and are directly integrated onto a dedicated electronic board, without motorized components or III-V elements.
Designed for online acquisition, it is perfectly suited to high industrial speeds while guaranteeing high-quality measurements.

FAQ
What are the technical specifications of your equipment?
Optikan sells a variety of different products with different technical specifications depending on our customers’ needs. However, they typically share the same core technology which is based on FMCW radars operating at frequency ranging from 57 GHz to 328.5 GHz; The main characteristics of these products are:
- An average emitted optical power up to 5 dBm or ~3 mW per radar chip;
- A typical digital resolution of 1 mm;
- An acquisition rate between 60 Hz and 3000 Hz.
For more information, the complete technical datasheet for each of our products is available for free to download on their respective page.
Is calibration required before use?
As with any measurement device, calibration is necessary before use. However, depending on the device, the process may differ:
- On the uSense and uSkan, no calibration is necessary, as they are automatically performed on the reference plate prior to any scan;
- On the uSense LITE, calibration must be performed manually after turning it on.
-
Please note: due to thermal equilibrium delay, it is recommended to wait 15 minutes after turning the device on before doing the calibration and using it for measurements.
What hardware or software requirements are needed?
A computer or tactile tablet is required to monitor each of our devices, which may be provided by Optikan as an option. Depending on the device, either a USB-C port of Ethernet port with Gigabit Ethernet capability is required.
Our software is currently available for Windows 11 machines on all our devices, although certain Linux distributions may be supported on the uSkan.
For more information, please check out the technical datasheet of each product on their respective page.
