SELECTED RF SYSTEMS
RF Systems Developed Around Real Programme Requirements
Field-proven RF subsystem design patterns for demanding airborne, shipboard, ground-mobile, and high-security installations.
Representative RF and microwave systems developed by AWG illustrate our approach to frequency conversion, coherent multi-channel reception, signal conditioning and high-power RF.
Each system is engineered around programme-specific electrical, mechanical, control and environmental requirements.
Standard modular catalogs cannot accommodate tightly constrained SWaP envelopes, intense pulsed thermal dissipation, and sub-degree channel coherence. AWG Tech bridges the gap between high-level RF architectures and qualified, field-deployable hardware.

From RF Requirements to Integrated Hardware
AWG develops RF and microwave systems from application-level requirements through architecture, detailed RF design, subsystem integration and verification.
Our engineering approach considers the complete signal chain — including frequency planning, gain and noise budgets, filtering, spurious performance, linearity, isolation, switching, control, power distribution, thermal management and mechanical integration.
01
Requirements & Architecture
System requirements, frequency planning, interfaces and performance allocation.
02
RF Design & Simulation
Frequency conversion, gain and noise budgets, filtering, linearity, isolation and spurious analysis.
03
Hardware Development
RF circuitry, frequency synthesis, control electronics, power distribution and mechanical implementation.
04
System Integration
Subsystem integration, signal-chain optimisation, interfaces, thermal management and system-level control.
05
Verification & Qualification
RF performance verification, environmental considerations and test against programme requirements.
Engineering for Demanding RF Applications
AWG develops RF and microwave hardware for applications where signal integrity, spectral performance, isolation, power handling and system integration must be addressed at the complete-system level.
Defence & Radar Systems
Radar RF front ends, phased-array RF architectures, high-power transmit chains and specialised sensing systems.
Satellite Communications
Ku-band and microwave transceiver architectures, frequency conversion, filtering and RF signal distribution.
Aerospace & Mission Systems
Integrated RF hardware developed around demanding electrical, mechanical, thermal and environmental constraints.
Research & Advanced R&D
Custom RF platforms, experimental architectures and specialised instrumentation for research institutes, universities and technology development programmes.
RF Components
AWG produces RF and microwave components such as filters, amplifiers, couplers, power dividers, RF switches, circulators, isolators and other RF components. More details are available on our dedicated RF component website, AWGRF
Two-Stage Receiver Cascaded NF & Gain Estimator
Evaluate how first-stage LNA performance dominates your RF front-end receiver chain using the Friis formula:
F_total = F1 + (F2 - 1) / G1
Stage 1 provides 18.0 dB of gain, which suppresses Stage 2's 20.0 dB noise factor. The overall receiver NF degrades by only +3.57 dB beyond the bare LNA front-end.
