Technical illustration: Antenna arrays

CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT

Antenna arrays: elements, feed networks and radiation patterns.

We develop antenna arrays and their RF feed networks. Element spacing, coupling, amplitude distribution and phase are designed together to achieve the required directivity.

01 / TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

From a single element to an array

An element behaves differently within an array than as an isolated antenna. We account for mutual coupling, the ground plane, boundary conditions and the intended installation.

02 / TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

RF distribution with defined phases and amplitudes

The feed network affects losses and the radiation pattern. We combine its circuit design with electromagnetic analysis of the PCB and its transitions.

03 / TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

Experience and technical validation

Our development experience includes antenna arrays for automotive ACC radar at 24 GHz. We apply the methods used for element design, feed networks and measurement to the agreed frequency range of your project.

THREE ROUTES TO THE RIGHT SOLUTION

Develop a new design. Optimise an existing solution. Customise products.

01

New development

We develop the geometry, circuit and integration around your frequency bands, installation conditions and measurable performance targets.

02

Optimisation

We analyse existing samples and documentation, identify the causes of losses or insufficient performance, and implement targeted changes.

03

Product customisation

We assess an existing Sevskiy solution and adapt its frequency tuning, connectors or installation. We can undertake volume production on request.

OUR APPROACH

From requirements to a tested design.

  1. 01

    Requirements and interfaces

    We clarify the frequency plan, available space, mechanical environment, supply, connections and test criteria. Existing CAD data, schematics and measurements are included in the assessment.

  2. 02

    Design and simulation

    We compare suitable concepts, design the circuit or geometry, and simulate critical electromagnetic structures and transitions.

  3. 03

    Prototypes and measurement-based refinement

    We build prototypes, measure under defined conditions and refine the design by comparing the model with the actual assembly.

  4. 04

    Design approval and volume production

    We document the agreed configuration and test plan. Production support and volume manufacturing are agreed as required.

YOUR DELIVERABLES

Technically documented and ready for the next development step.

The deliverables include element geometry, array arrangement and feed network, together with the agreed simulation and measurement data. Electronic beam steering and control electronics are scoped separately for each project.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical questions about working with us.

Do you also develop the feed network?

Yes. Power division, transmission-line phases, port matching and isolation are part of the RF design and are assessed together with the array.

Can an existing array be optimised?

We analyse the elements, coupling, feed and integration. From the results, we identify measures to improve matching, losses, directivity and sidelobes.

YOUR RF REQUIREMENTS

Developing the right antenna and RF solution together.

We work with you to determine whether a new design, optimisation or product customisation is the right approach.
