What Microrad does

Microrad is an Italian designer and manufacturer of isotropic electromagnetic field measurement instruments, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Orvieto, Italy. The company develops a portfolio of broadband meters, complex signal analyzers, interchangeable probes, mobile mapping systems, and personal RF monitors, covering the frequency spectrum from DC to 60 GHz. Its products are used by enterprise and institutional buyers to verify compliance with electromagnetic field exposure regulations, including EU Directive 2013/35/EU (occupational EMF safety) and ITU-T-K 113 (telecommunications infrastructure mapping). The company serves six vertical sectors — energy, industrial manufacturing, diagnostic medicine, electric traction, telecommunications, and military/defense — with a focus on occupational health, EMC compliance, and infrastructure monitoring.

The company's core technology centers on isotropic measurement with both broadband and frequency-selective modes. The flagship NHT 3DL combines an FFT analyzer and oscilloscope with real-time weighted peak (WP10) measurement, while the NHT 310F provides broadband coverage from 0 Hz to 60 GHz with integrated GPS. An interchangeable probe system spanning Series 33 (triple sensor, DC to 1 MHz), Series ER (radar pulses), Series 0 (5G fast probes), Series 10 (static/quasi-static), and the EMF series for EMC applications allows one base instrument to address multiple measurement scenarios. The Fly Probe extends the platform to mobile 3D electromagnetic mapping for deployment on drones, vehicles, and telescopic poles, and the AM40 wearable personal monitor addresses worker-safety applications. The MicroLink 5 and EMC Viewer PC software platforms provide data management, visualization, and remote instrument control.

Microrad generates revenue primarily through direct hardware sales to enterprise and institutional customers, supplemented by software licenses, interchangeable probe sales, and technical services including ISO 17025:2005 calibration certification. Distribution is conducted directly via the company's multilingual website and email-based sales channels, with no disclosed distributor or reseller network. The company operates with a headcount of 1–10 employees, holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, and is privately held with no external institutional investment evidenced in the source material. Ownership appears founder-driven, with Roberto Ruggeri serving as the legal representative.

Core offering

Microrad designs and manufactures electromagnetic field measurement instruments, including isotropic broadband meters, complex signal analyzers, interchangeable probes, and personal RF monitors, covering the full frequency range from DC to 60 GHz. The company also provides MicroLink 5 and EMC Viewer PC software for data acquisition, visualization, and remote instrument control, along with technical services, training, and ISO 17025:2005 calibration certifications.

Product overview

Microrad designs and manufactures isotropic measuring systems for electromagnetic safety. The product portfolio centers on interchangeable probes and two main meter platforms: the NHT 310 series (broadband meters from DC to 40-60 GHz) and the NHT 3DL (advanced analyzer combining broadband measurement with time/frequency domain analysis from 1 Hz to 60 GHz). Supporting accessories include multiple probe series (33 for triple-sensor measurements, 0 for 5G, ER for radar, 10 for static/quasi-static), EMF sensors for EMC applications, the AM40 wearable personal monitor, and the Fly Probe mobile 3D mapping system. All instruments are controlled via MicroLink 5 or EMC Viewer PC software platforms.
