ANALOG/RF DESIGN

Faststream Technologies has deep expertise in Analog, Mixed-Signal (AMS Design) Wireless,  and RF Design services. It covers amplifiers, signal condition, passive and active filter, PLLs, audio processing, low-noise design, micropower design, A/D, D/A conversion, and many more related areas. We have sound experience from DC to low GHz microwave frequencies. Besides this, we are prominent in designing wireless devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical ISM band.
