RF Systems Expert

We have developed open and proprietary RF system models and simulations, incorporating them with other models such as geographic clutter and spectrum models to make a “system of models” for relevant scenarios. We work extensively with hardware, making the theory and simulations come alive with the latest in high-end RF / microwave / mmW hardware.

We provide expert guidance to public agencies from federal to local as well as commercial wireless ventures with regard to complicated designs and licensing negotiations with the FCC and Industrie Canada. We provided technical facilitation during sales negotiations of valuable SMR two-way radio spectrum to Nextel in metropolitan border regions, when that spectrum (especially the coveted 863-866 MHz band) was priced at all-time record high levels.

We have evaluated technical feasibility and business case suitability via critical design review on areas as diverse as:

• full-stack hardware / software / model rapid prototypes to global RF spectrum standards
• Cubesat communications systems
• Statewide wireless networks
• pedestrian and bike collision anticipation systems
• outdoor microsecond-synchronized autonomous Arctic optical stations
• software defined radar systems
• autonomous navigating space vehicles with local radiolocation network (their own “GPS” in deep space)

We have negotiated individual spectrum license coordination with ISET (formerly Industrie Canada–the Canadian FCC). We had to show modeling work and run coordinated tests on both sides of the border–over 100km away, for government agencies, sometimes getting a helping diplomatic hand from a representative or senator’s office.
