What We Do,
and How We Do It

Analog RF-over-Fiber (RoF) links are the backbone of modern distributed antenna systems, phased array architectures, and electronic warfare front-ends. We provide cradle-to-grave support for these systems — from first-principles link budget analysis through hardware qualification and operational support.

Our team has designed and deployed RoF links spanning DC to 40 GHz, achieving SFDR figures exceeding 120 dB·Hz²⁄³ in production hardware. We work across direct-detection and coherent architectures, choosing the right approach based on your dynamic range, bandwidth, and latency requirements.

Photonic integrated circuits are rapidly displacing discrete fiber-optic assemblies in size-, weight-, and power-constrained platforms. We guide programs through the complexity of foundry selection, PDK-based design, tape-out preparation, and post-fabrication characterization.

We work across the leading silicon photonics platforms (IME A*STAR, imec, GlobalFoundries, AIM Photonics) and InP foundries (HHI, WIN Semiconductors), bringing deep familiarity with the trade-offs between each process technology for RF photonic applications.

A photonic link that looks excellent on paper can fail field qualification due to subtle noise coupling, spurious responses, or electromagnetic interference. We bring systematic rigor to the measurement and mitigation of these issues, leveraging a deep understanding of the electro-optic physics that underlies every performance anomaly.

Our signal integrity practice includes both analysis and test — we can develop measurement plans, operate your test equipment, and produce FCA-ready documentation. We also offer independent verification of contractor-supplied link performance data.

The hardest decisions in photonic system development happen before a single component is ordered — technology selection, architecture trade-offs, make-versus-buy analysis, and risk allocation across a complex supply chain. We serve as a trusted technical advisor at the program level, providing the independent perspective that internal teams often cannot.

Our architects have served as chief engineers on programs from concept definition through operational deployment. We understand how to translate physics-level constraints into program-level decisions and to communicate those decisions to diverse stakeholders.
