Low-power, non-ionizing millimeterwave scanning
R&S®QPS technology operates in the millimeterwave range of the electromagnetic spectrum, similar to the frequencies used by vehicle park-assist applications, but at power levels thousands of times lower. The systems produce no ionizing radiation and their output power is a tiny fraction of the output power of a mobile phone.
The waves and energy emitted by the R&S®QPS travel through clothing, but do not penetrate the body. Instead, the waves “bounce back” and are combined to create an avatar with indicators showing where items have been detected within clothing.
R&S®QPS systems do not penetrate the skin and do not disrupt the atomic structures of cells or DNA like X-rays and other types of ionizing radiation do.
Safe for pregnant women and for individuals with hip/knee replacements, metal pins or other orthopedic implants, the R&S®QPS eliminates the need for special screening.
