Services
We specialize in the design, development and testing of RF and Microwave systems like radars, communication and navigation systems.
We also design and develop the main components of an RF & Microwave system, both on the hardware level (transceivers, amplifiers, antennas, …), and on the software level (algorithms and protocols).
Test Solutions
MIMO Acquisition & Generation Measurement System
Measurement system designed for multi-channel phase-coherent RF signal acquisition and multi-channel phase-coherent RF signal generation. This measurement system allows to continuously record the signal with 50 MHz bandwidth and play back the signal with 100 MHz bandwidth, which can be used for recording in electromagnetic environment and for further playback in laboratory conditions.
Air Navigation and LS Signals Simulation & Analysis
The Air Navigation and LS Signals Simulation and Analysis application isintended for air navigation device test. The application allows engineers to testboth signal transmitters (earth-basedcontroller units) and signal receivers (aircraft’s receiver units). The application supports thefollowing main air navigation signaltypes: marker beacons (with bearingangle), instrument landing system (ILS)localizer, ILS glide slope, and (D)VOR.

The GPS Signal simulator helps to create simulated waveforms for using with NI-USRP RIO/VST/FlexRIO+adapter module to produce customized and repeatable receiver tests.
Software Products
Pulse Train Generator
The Pulse Train Generator (PTG) is developed for pulse sequence generation. A pulse train generator is capable of giving trains of different types of pulses and delays. The pulse data consists of name and complex waveform. The PTG includes the configuration of VIs for creating, changing, deleting, and writing/reading the file.
FMCW Signal Analyzer
The FMCW Signal Analyzer is a software designed to measure, display and log the parameters of the FMCW signals, mostly used in FMCW RADARs. The software allows to perform real-time demodulation of the signals with up to 1GHz of bandwidth, measure the key parameters of the demodulated signal, as well as perform time-domain and frequency-domain measurements on the received signal.
MIMO Acquisition & Generation Toolkit
The MIMO Acquisition and Generation (PCAG) Toolkit is based on the NI PXI platform and developed in the LabVIEW graphical programming environment.
Hardware Products
YEAE 9417 GNSS Module
The YEA 9417 is a concurrent GNSS receiver module for NI C series platforms. It can receive multiple GNSS systems signal (e.g GPS/QZSS, GLONASS, BeiDou). Due to dual-frequency RF front-end architecture, two of the three signals (GPS L1C/A, GLONASS L1OF, and BeiDou B1) can be received and processed simultaneously.
RF Bench
RF Bench is an All in one instrument for RF engineers that combines vector signal generator, vector signal analyzer, vector network analyzer, power meter, software-controlled DC power supply and digital I/O.
Software Defined Transceiver Based on NI sbRIO
Designing a low-cost, high-performance modem with a narrow bandwidth and a high data rate to be used in an oil pump control and monitoring application. SDR architecture allows changing and fine-tuning parameters of the transceivers, including radio parameters in the field, avoiding the need for hardware changes.
Portable Spectrum Analyzer
The Portable Spectrum Analyzer is intended for general spectrum monitoring, recording and analysis. It allows quickly scan the RF environment and locate the unknown signals. The system is based on the NI USRP platform and uses software developed in the NI LabVIEW graphical programming environment.
X Band Up/Downconverter
This X Band Up/Downconverter is specifically designed to operate in X Band. X Band Up/Downconverter is controlled using digital lines. When Digital lines are used faster switching speed and more reliable control can be achieved.
OE 2300 Adapter Module for NI FlexRIO
Multi-channel Fiber Optic sensor Interrogation Unit is a stand-alone unit designed for demodulation of optical signals from the fiber optic sensors and gives the electrical output corresponding to the sensed signal. The input to the interrogation unit is an optical signal coupled via an FC/APC optical fiber connector. The receiving circuitry converts the optical signal to electrical form and digitizes it. The digitized data is taken to a FPGA IC via Serial SPI/I2C Interface which does the required signal processing and recovers the sensed signal. The algorithms used for recovering the signal is similar to general phase modulation/demodulation algorithms available. A variable modulating signal should be generated which can be controlled from the GUI.
