Unmatched RF Density. We achieved breakthrough miniaturization using a novel model-based design and state-of-the-art SMT packaging allowing us to reduce the size of a complete wideband RF front-end into a 130 by 20 mm mezzanine (stick) with full signal isolation.

Digital Interface. Built into each mezzanine is a digital interface for system tuning, channel control and health & configuration. Each mezzanine contains its own factory-set frequency and temperature calibration data minimizing the need for additional system calibration. This integral digital capability, with a simple 4-wire interface, also dramatically simplifies system integration.

Customization. Standard form factors include single- and dual-channel configurations in metal enclosures with coaxial connections. Customizations include mounting, connectors (RF, control, power). Additional special functionality for multiple mezzanines is available (example: coherent LOs).
