RF DESIGN

Faststream Technologies offers RF Design, development, production, test, and qualification services. Our expertise spans high frequency (HF) to Ku-Band frequencies on the RF components such as transmitters, receivers, and RF subsystems: up converters, down converters, front ends, low no amplifiers, power amplifiers, bidirectional amplifiers, and RF filters. With state-of-the-art design and simulation tools, test and measurement equipment, prototyping equipment, and a full-scale production facility, we can uphold transition concepts to high-performance designs quickly and cost-effectively.
