Dear Customer

June 2002

Thank you for requesting OLESON MICROWAVE LABS (OML) product information. OML is a small engineering oriented firm specializing in the design and manufacture of millimeter wave (18 to 325 GHz) test equipment. The company is in it's 11th year of business. OML has repeatedly achieved on-time delivery with a very low customer warranty return rate. Confidence in our product reliability is reflected in our "Terms and Conditions," which contain provisions for an extended warranty available at no additional cost to the customer.

Seventy five percent of OML business is with test equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) for resale under their brand. OML is currently supplying products to ongoing requirements for customers such as: Anritsu (Wiltron), IFR (Marconi), Rhode & Schwarz, Electro-Metrics and Agilent (HP). These millimeter wave frequency extension products include: vector network analyzer, scalar network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, block down converters for EMI analysis and low spurious (-50 dBc) frequency multiplier sources.

OML has been supplying to government, university, and commercial laboratory customers. Low noise 26 to 110 GHz down converters for calibration of ENR sources, and filtered multiplier sources for calibration of WR-22 through WR-10 power sensors have been delivered to the Raytheon (Hughes) Primary Calibration Lab and Primary Standards USA. OML has shipped seven VNA extension systems covering 50 to 325 GHz to the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), 90 to 220 GHz systems to TRW. Recently OML shipped a VNA extension system covering 90 to 325 GHz to the University of Virginia, 26 to 220 GHz systems to Ball Aerospace, 90 to 220 GHz systems to the Mayo Foundation and will be soon delivering a 110 to 325 GHz system to the University of Leeds, UK. By the end of 2002 OML will have delivered sixty two VNA frequency extension modules covering the waveguide bands from 90 to 325 GHz . OML will have delivered over 375 VNA frequency extension modules, covering all waveguide bands 26 to 325 GHz, to all types of customers by the end of 2002.

OML has also supplied many special designs to customers including: scalar and vector frequency extension systems for millimeter antenna measurement, low spurious K and Ka Band multiplier sources for receiver testing, and multi-band millimeter block down converter systems for surveillance purposes. Specific systems included: Ka and W Band propagation measurement systems (NOAA subcontract), and an 80 channel V Band synthesizer for Josephson Junction investigation (Sandia Labs subcontract). OML produced a 75 to 110 GHz vector network analyzer based, coherent imaging system for modeling dust particles in space (NASA subcontract). In 1997, OML supplied ten V Band (WR-15) up/down converter assemblies which were used for pre-launch qualification of satellites. In 1999 OML has developed a spectrum analysis test kit for the new FCC unlicensed transmitter spurious and harmonic suppression requirements covering up through 230 GHz. In 2002 OML delivered twenty three V Band (WR-15) up or down converter assemblies which will be used for pre-launch qualification of satellites.

OML possesses a wide range of experience in the design of large scale microwave communications systems, millimeter wave radars, and advanced millimeter converters for radar warning and ECM/ESM receivers. OML products are limited to millimeter wave test equipment and the test system market. OML is fully equipped with latest model test equipment and has the capability to completely test to all accepted specifications.

OML welcomes specialized test system requirements in the millimeter wave bands. OML is defined as a U.S. "Vietnam Era" Veteran owned, "Small Business" under the following FAR provisions for contract reporting purposes: 52.219-8, 52.219-9, 52.222-36, 52.222-37, and 252.225-7001. International customers contact: Radar Systems Technology of Los Altos, CA. We at OML are looking forward to addressing the needs of your company.
