Applications & Industries
Our design and development experiences is broad, here is a selection of the industries that we cover
Satellite & Navigation
Our experience includes design, development and verification of space deployed hardware for communication satellite applications,for example applications pertaining to validation of digital beamforming ASICs and phase coherent, time aligned RF systems.
We have exposure to developing test stations for GNSS applications in automotive and cellular, for products such as infotainment systems and smartphones.
Application knowledge example also includes design of systems for long-duration, over-the-air, RF record-and-playback of L1, L2 and L5 signals targeting military GNSS applications.
Our competence for embedding GNSS technology in products also includes handset and small cell design for cellular and PMR applications.
Aerospace Defense Radar
We have consultants with direct experience of providing design and solution engineering support for defense contractors in both Canada and the United Kingdom.
Our R&D experience is pertinent for security cleared mandates spanning radar, Milcom, Satcom and other related applications.
We can cover design of hardware including digital, analog, mechanical and PCB-related product development, test fixture and test station design including hardware and software automation, partnering with clients throughout their development process.
We provide effective participation in customer design reviews, supplementing their development bandwidth with engineers having the appropriate experience and security clearance.
Our familiarity with Agile software development and PRINCE2 waterfall-style processes.
Commercial Cellular, Wireless & Public Mobile Radio
We have a breadth of experience, including simulation, design and development spanning both handsets and small cells for commercial and mission critical applications, including TETRA, Wi-Fi, 3G, LTE and 5G.
Product design experience includes laboratory-based cable connected applications as well as over-the-air RF front-end design.
Hardware design experience encompassing RF, digital, mechanical, PCB plus FPGA and embedded software development.
We are comfortable coving the entire product development lifecycle including product research, design, development, integration, verification, interoperability and qualification.
Test & Measurement
We have proven development know-how applicable to both the design of RF instrumentation and the development of integrated RF test solutions for design validation and manufacturing test.
Our experience of designing RF test & measurement instrumentation includes vector signal generators vector signal analyzers and network analyzers.
We can cover the full product lifecycle from research through to architecture, simulation, design, development, validation, verification, manufacturing, deployment and support
For marketing, we have a wealth of experience spanning creation of presentations, application notes, videos and other sales or business development collateral in this application area.
Applications for RF test solutions include cellular, wireless, aerospace defense, semiconductor and automotive.
TV Broadcast
Our consultants’ experience has a wealth of television broadcast-related knowledge, for example the development of vehicle based satellite earth stations and portable satellite news gathering equipment.
We have also a track record of design, development and verification of transmitters, transposers, test receivers and demodulators targeting terrestrial television broadcast, including RF, digital, mechanical, PCB, FPGA and embedded software.
We have knowledge of the design of TWT phase-combined power amplifier systems for Ku band uplink and modular, redundant phased combing solid state power amplifiers for in excess of 1kW average power.
Development of point-to-point microwave radio link products for video and data distribution is also an application area.
We have provided system definition, design, manufacture, verification and customer accept plus ongoing customer support across all these application areas.
