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.

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 MIMO Acquisition and Generation (PCAG) Toolkit is based on the NI PXI platform and developed in the LabVIEW graphical programming environment.
Hardware Products
YEA EMC Shielding Box
The YEA EMC Shielding Box, is a highperformance enclosure designed to provide exceptional signal attenuation for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing applications. With an attenuation of 90dB, this shielding box ensures a controlled testing environmentby preventing external signals from interfering with the Device Under Test (DUT). Manufactured with precision from durable and highly conductive aluminum, the YEA RF Shielding Box is a reliable solution for a wide range of EMC testing scenarios.
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.

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.
