Background and Capabilities of Our R&D Group
Malå today has the broadest and most versatile product range of any GPR manufacturer. Furthermore, it has always been our goal to maintain full ownership and control of our own product line. Achieving this without a strong R&D group is not possible. Hence the R&D group has always constituted a large part of the company, both in staff numbers and, especially, in theoretical and practical competence.
All Malå's radar systems and subsystems have been developed within our R&D group, starting in the early eighties with the unique RAMAC borehole systems, the first truly digital impulse radar in the world followed in the early 90's by the RAMAC/GPR.
Besides having extensive knowledge about radar system designs and associated technologies the group also holds expert knowledge in the practical application of these systems.
A summarize of our R&D capabilities in a few areas of core-competence are:
- UWB (Ultra Wide Band)-antenna design including borehole, shielded and unshielded designs
- UWB-electronics design including sampler heads and impulse generators ranging from 50 to 2GHz in bandwidths
- Electronic and mechanical design for extreme environmental conditions
- Digital design for embedded systems
- Real-time systems
- Windows and Linux drivers and acquisition systems
- Graphical presentation and visualization including image processing
- Advanced geophysical processing software
Production
Malå manufactures and test its products to the very highest quality standards. The loyal and professional employees take great pride in the products they assemble. Our philosophy is to use the best quality components in the equipment we manufacture. Over many years we have built up great sub-contractor partners who supply high quality sub-assemblies. These sub-contractors are audited by us on a regular basis to ensure the continued quality.
