Wireless Design Services

Nuvation Engineering has wide-ranging expertise with wireless design and implementing Radio-Frequency (RF) Communications solutions. We understand the trade-offs inherent in these designs. Our prior RF system projects have included consumer portables, personal area networks, vehicle telematics, robotics, IoT gateways, radar and microwave applications, Time-of-Flight ranging, scientific test equipment, ultrasound and medical imaging systems (MRI). Product developers should always consider device security, especially when wireless communications are included in the design.

Our team of engineering experts can help you develop RF solutions to fit a wide range of project needs and specifications.

Wireless Design Expertise

RF Design

Frequencies up to ~50 GHz
Utilizing RF “building block” ICs:
- Transceivers, mixers, PLLs, LNAs, PAs
