Unique Mix And Match For FFT Solutions
RF Engines, has released its latest Matrix range of high specification 'building blocks' for digital transceiver designs that offer a unique 'mix and match' way to create tailored FFT solutions.
"Over the recent years, we have established a strong reputation for our design capabilities in the complex FPGA signal processing domain, and our strategy of incorporating these techniques into providing complete product solutions for our customers is driving the growth," explained John Summers, RFEL's CEO.
"Also there is no doubt that recent awards, such as winning the 2006 European Electronics Elektra Awards, on the back of winning the Start up of the year in 2003 and finalist in the 2005 RandD category, have also added to the impetus." The company has also recently won several new contracts in the defence EW (electronic warfare), government services, and wireless/satcoms areas and there are strong prospects for significant additional business.
"Basically, RFEL was founded to exploit the signal processing capabilities of FPGA's and even then at start-up in 2000, we had already developed, patented and actually implemented several designs - which was maybe a little unusual around 2000 when a lot of other companies were kicking off with lots of promises but not much to back it up," he added.
"We've also had the benefit of being able to tap into a pool of really strong engineering talent here on the Isle of Wight, that historically came from the advanced radar design work and other defence-related work that has been carried out on the Island for a generation, as well as a cluster of wireless and satcoms design talent.
Obviously one of the other major attractions is the Island itself, so it is pretty easy to strike a sensible work/life balance.".
