Core offering

Montena designs and manufactures high-voltage fast pulse generators, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test systems, and precision measurement equipment for assessing equipment immunity against electromagnetic disturbances. The portfolio spans three segments: EMC test systems (NEMP/HEMP simulators, ESD generators, MIL-STD-461/-1275 conducted susceptibility systems, antennas, shielded enclosures), Measurement equipment (fiber optic transmission links, derivative sensors, integrators, baluns, high-voltage loads/attenuators, plus PULSELab and FibREmote software), and Industrial pulse generators (repetitive nanosecond pulsers for electroporation and cold plasma applications).

Product overview

Montena offers a portfolio of precision-engineered products organized across three main segments: EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) test systems, Measurement equipment, and Industrial applications. The EMC segment includes NEMP/HEMP test systems (mobile, indoor, outdoor, and GTEM-based), Pulse Current Injection (PCI) systems, conducted susceptibility generators including MIL-STD-461 (CS106/CS115/CS116) and MIL-STD-1275 (spikes & surge) generators, ESD generators for aircraft/spacecraft, antennas (TEM cells, striplines, HIRA, Helmholtz coils), and EMC accessories (LISN/TPDS, trigger generators, shielded enclosures). The Measurement segment provides a complete measurement chain for electromagnetic transients: GHz and MHz broadband fibre optic transmission links (MOL2000T, MOL3000, MOL500T, MOL25T), B-dot/D-dot derivative field sensors, V-dot voltage sensors, passive integrators, baluns, high voltage loads and attenuators, impedance adapters and preamplifiers, plus PULSELab and FibREmote software applications. The Industrial segment offers repetitive nanosecond pulsers for bioprocess electrostimulation and cold plasma applications. Together, these products form an integrated ecosystem for high-power electromagnetic testing, precision transient measurement, and industrial pulse processing.
