Discovery and RF Strategy
Every engagement starts with alignment. We conduct stakeholder interviews, competitive benchmarking, and spectrum analyses to clarify winning criteria. Our discovery deliverables include RF requirement matrices, risk registers, and investment roadmaps that keep executive sponsors, product owners, and engineering leads on the same page.
- Workshops covering user scenarios, coexistence challenges, and regulatory scope
- Gap assessment against target standards with mitigation recommendations
- Resource plan with projected milestones, budgets, and lab engagements
Custom Antenna Engineering
Our antenna team balances electrical performance with industrial design and manufacturing constraints. We design monopoles, patch arrays, conformal structures, phased arrays, and integrated antennas embedded into complex housings. Iterative EM simulation, rapid prototyping, and near-field scanning confirm performance before integration.
Benefits include shortened tuning cycles, controlled detuning under user interaction, and documented integration guidelines for mechanical partners. Combine this service with our industry-specific playbooks for even faster deployment.
RF and Microwave Circuit Development
We build front ends that deliver gain, sensitivity, and selectivity within strict power budgets. Services span LNA/LPA design, PLL synthesis, filtering, and switch matrices. We manage vendor sourcing, layout, and production test fixture design so the schematic intent carries into manufacturing without surprises. Dive deeper into our approach inside the Low-Noise Amplifier Design Studio, which includes detailed guides on device choice, bias control, thermal practices, and measurement routines.
- Component selection with lifecycle and cost analysis
- EM co-simulation and parasitic extraction of layouts
- Thermal modeling and reliability assessments for mission environments
Compliance and Certification Programs
Regulatory readiness is embedded from the beginning. Our compliance specialists map FCC, CE, IC, MIC, DO-160, ISO 11452, and IEC 60601 requirements into design decisions. We operate pre-compliance labs, manage accredited lab scheduling, and create evidence packages that withstand audits. Visit our compliance hub for accreditation details.
Manufacturing Enablement
Successful product launches extend beyond prototypes. Apex engineers deliver production test strategies, calibration routines, and golden unit governance to support smooth ramps. We audit CM partners, train their technicians, and monitor yield trends to recommend corrective action early.
Our sustaining engineering group remains engaged post-launch, providing field issue diagnostics, firmware update analysis, and roadmap recommendations so connected products continue to meet KPIs.
