Solutions

Systems

MIRAD has successfully completed a notable amount of projects around the globe with complex multi-band feed systems, feed networks and multi-channel switching and combining systems for commercial, military and scientific applications. More over, we advise you to purchase the complete waveguide RF system (feed and RX/TX network) from a single source if you want maximum RF performance and transmission power.

Systems

For satellite uplink and downlink signals, MIRAD is the trusted provider of passive RF infrastructure hardware and ground station antenna services. We provide solutions and systems that transmit the amplified signal from the HPA to space and receive the very low signal levels from space and forward them to the LNAs. We design, manufacture and test systems from 1 GHz to 70 GHz in our premises with Swiss precision & quality.

We provide solutions and designs of

  • Feed systems 
  • Feed networks
  • Switching & combining systems

Engineering

After thorough analysis, our experienced RF Engineers with their advanced simulation skills and tools provide optimal and feasible design proposals as well as the most efficient performance estimations. Recently, the power handling expectations for our systems have notably increased; MIRAD has accrued profound expertise via extensive R&D studies of reliable feasibility analysis for high power applications. Testing and validation is an indispensable element of development for new RF solutions; our testing capabilities and infrastructure are also available for third party systems. Based on the comprehensive experience gained with earth station applications, our engineering team is also in a position to deliver on-board applications.

Engineering

We have a strong and reliable know-how in engineering services for more than 30 years. All our solutions consistently deliver the best possible RF performance, due to our proven RF engineering skills and in-house availability of  adequate simulation and testing infrastructure. We provide

  • RF system and component design 
  • Antenna design and performance analysis
  • Microwave physics and anaysis for high power RF devices
  • RF & antenna measurments and verification

Components

Our passive RF components have been designed on a modular basis allowing easy implementation and are manufactured with our renowned Swiss precision, enabling you to operate your system on the highest possible performance level. We offer several standard solutions, but specialize in customized solutions. The components listed below are only a selection of what we offer. In any case, please contact us.

Components

We have purpose built solutions, where we match your specific requirements or standardized solutions of feed systems, feed modules and feed components. For our modular systems we can draw on a very extensive portfolio of standard waveguide components that have been developed during the past decades. Therefore, we also offer the production and manufacturing of waveguide components for standard frequency ranges and applications, but also supply special designs for customer-specific requirements. We provide components like:

  • Feed Combiners 
  • Frequency filters and multiplexers
  • Directional and hybrid couplers
  • High-, medium- and low-power loads and terminations
  • Orthomode transducers (OMT)
  • Waveguide air-inlets, pressure windows and WG-Coax transitions
  • Waveguide routing and manufacturing
