RF circuit and subsystem design
Receivers, transmitters, power amplifiers, TR modules, frequency conversion and RF front-end development.
RF and microwave engineering and hardware design are core areas of our work. We evaluate requirements, feasibility, technical scope and deliverables before committing to a development project.
Support can cover a specific task, one development stage or an end-to-end scope. The following areas are selected to suit each project.
Receivers, transmitters, power amplifiers, TR modules, frequency conversion and RF front-end development.
Circuit simulation, electromagnetic analysis and filter design to evaluate RF design choices.
Schematic capture, multilayer PCB layout, board-level integration and signal-integrity review.
Analog circuits, power and control electronics, digital hardware and system interfaces.
Microcontroller and processor-based circuits, memory, clocking and digital interfaces.
Embedded hardware development and firmware integration around functional requirements and device interfaces.
Programmable logic, digital interfaces and FPGA-related development, subject to project feasibility and scope.
Mechanical design and 3D modelling for electronic assemblies and enclosure integration.
Thermal and structural analysis to review assembly constraints and engineering design choices.
PCB bring-up, debugging, prototype development and RF or hardware subsystem integration.
Project-relevant RF measurements, functional hardware tests and prototype verification against agreed requirements.
Test procedures, repeatable data collection and automation where appropriate to the agreed engineering task.
Tell us if your project requires files or workflows in ADS, CST Studio Suite, HFSS, Cadence Allegro or Altium Designer. Tool access, formats and deliverables are confirmed during scoping.
Bring an initial idea, a functional requirement, a block diagram, a schematic, an existing PCB or a prototype. You can also ask for a specific task within a larger project.
Required functions, power needs, operating environment and relevant RF signal conditions
Mechanical envelope, control, power, digital and RF interfaces
Idea, requirements, architecture, schematic, existing PCB, prototype or redesign
Target measurements, environmental context and acceptance criteria
Bring an idea, requirements, a schematic, an existing PCB or a prototype. We review feasibility, scope and deliverables for an RF or hardware task, a development stage or an end-to-end project.
