SiP Overview Custom SiPs Standard Products

Highly Integrated, Miniature Solutions

The Smarter Way to Build RF+Digital Systems

Accelerated Design
Save thousands of engineering hours with prequalified, pre-tested SiPs that simplify your RF+Digital development. Simply plug and play into your system.

Software-Instrumented for Embedded Control
FPGA-based control architecture enables software tuning, rapid integration, and performance stability across frequency ranges, all with minimal power draw. Ready for dynamic management by ML/AI.

Integrated Power Management
Each SiP delivers unified power regulation, conversion, and routing, requiring only one or two low-voltage inputs..

Simplified Sourcing
We select, characterize, integrate and test the best components so you don’t have to.

What We Integrate

RF / Microwave Signal Chains
Frequency conversion, gain, filtering, switching, routing, clocking, LO distribution, and channelized RF architectures.

Power and Digital Control
Biasing, sequencing, regulation, protection, embedded control, telemetry, and software-instrumented operation.

Packaging and Thermal Strategy
SiP, hermetic module, board-level, and custom mechanical implementations designed around the real payload environment.

Test and Production Readiness
Design-for-test, characterization, screening strategy, and repeatable production processes are built into the subsystem plan.

How Small Can Your System Be?

These compact SiPs minimize space and maximize performance. Whether you are working with 3UVPX, VNX or custom form factors, our SiPs help densify your designs.

Up and Down conversion of wideband mmWave signals (18 - 40 GHz) into standard 2-18 GHz bands

Extend Into Higher Frequency Bands
Add mmWave capability to existing RF systems without large, complex assemblies. Extend performance into new bands while maintaining a compact subsystem footprint.

Densify Through Miniaturization
Increase channel density while reducing subsystem size. Compact building blocks enable more channels in less space across a wide range of RF system architectures.

Deploy With Less Integration Burden
Use standardized converter building blocks to reduce design complexity and accelerate deployment. Choose the right approach for your architecture, from board-level integration to system-level upgrades.
