Radio System Design
Our expertise in RF and baseband design means that entire radio solutions from the modem to the antenna can be developed. When combined with a strong systems knowledge and deep understanding of the standards and frequency bands, it can be done quickly and cost effectively.
We rely on integrated tools to help us to go smoothly from initial concepts through simulation and analysis to full implementation. These include schematic entry, simulation of linear and non-linear circuits, electromagnetic analysis and printed circuit board layout.
