In-house capability, from RF to software

Antennas, RF components, control electronics, embedded software and mechanics are designed by one team, so every part of the system works together.

Frequency coverage

From UHF to Ka band

We design antennas and RF front ends across the bands used for data links, telemetry, satellite communication and navigation.

UHF0.3–1 GHz
L1–2 GHz
S2–4 GHz
C4–8 GHz
X8–12 GHz
Ku12–18 GHz
Ka26.5–40 GHz

How we work

From requirement to series production

Programs are run with structured requirement management, system engineering and project management.

Requirements

Capture and manage the customer's requirements.

System engineering

Define the architecture and interfaces.

Design

RF, electronic, software and mechanical design with simulation.

Prototype

Build and measure the first units.

Qualification

EMI/EMC and environmental testing.

Production

Pilot and series production, with field support.
