Tiny, Powerful, Customizable RF

Highly integrated, software-definable RF system blocks 

Use these SiPs as co-processors with a Direct RF FPGA or any mixed signal device. You can also use this family in any RF application where size, weight, power consumption and cost are a factor such as smart antennas.

Revolutionary Miniaturization. Incorporates Spectrum Control’s industry-leading technology for high performance, wideband signal conditioning with full isolation, filtering, digital control, and power supply.

Dramatic Cost Reduction. Surface-mount design and integrated digital control offers up to 86% reduction in lifecycle costs, 3x the design velocity, and significant reduction in design and integration NRE.

Customizable. Talk with us about your customization needs including frequency band of interest, frequency conversion and power amplification. Examples: x-Band Tx/Rx, EW front end, mmWave block converter, clock generation circuitry.

MAE Innovators Award 2024 Platinum


The Military + Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards honors developers of the most influential enabling technologies for aerospace and defense applications. These technologies actually solve design problems, often for which there was no known solution before or where the challenge was particularly difficult.

Awards range from platinum, the highest, to the gold awards, and finally to the silver awards -- and are based on recommendations from an independent panel of industry judges.

RF+ SiP Family

The new family of SiPs from Spectrum Control is designed to deliver advanced miniaturization, integration-ready design, and full software control. System engineers can rapidly model, build, and deploy high performance systems while dramatically reducing the overall footprint of their system.

  • Designed for high-volume production and optimized to minimize supply chain risk
  • US-manufactured and sourced

Spectrum Control offers standard SiPs (below) that can be customized for the customer's requirements. Completely custom IMAs can also be developed using our RF+Digital development pipeline, which has reduced the typical IMA productization timeline by 75%.
