The Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) is a new 3 GeV third generation synchrotron radiation facility in Middle East, which at the time being is in its design stage. An important aspect for the scientific success of this new source will be the availability of well adapted detectors. Position-sensitive X-ray detectors have played an important role in synchrotron radiation X-ray experiments for many years and are still in use. In this work, we introduce a 2-D position sensitive gas detector based on a multiwire proportional chamber which designed and fabricated at ILSF within a collaboration agreement between ILSF and the Italian Synchrotron Radiation Facility (Elettra), Italy. Moreover, the fabrication and test results of a prototype MWPC with 10 × 10 cm^2 active area are presented.
