MegaRF Design, LLC

Let us design and build something for you today.  We are in San Diego's north county but work with customers around the world. 

PIN Switches

Various high power and low loss PIN diode switches at many kilowatts with very wide bandwidths.  Success where others fail.

SMT and chip / wire designs

Very fast PIN diode driver circuits

Integrated power supplies

Arc resistant at altitude

CW power levels at greater than 2kW

MegaRF Design has been designing these types for switches for decades.  We have the lowest cost, most reliable designs. 

Splitters / Combiners

High power and high frequency RF combiners in the form of:

Microstrip / Stripline:
Lange, Branchline, Broadside, Ratrace, Wilkinson, Gysel, Dual Mode, Serial, Radial

Waveguide:

Branchguide, Short Slot, Multihole, Spatial, Serial

Very low loss and very high power designs.  5000W with PCB designs and 500000W with waveguide designs. 

Design of amplifiers (very high power and very low noise) with all the latest technologies such as SiC, GaN, LDMOS, VDMOS, SiGe, InP, GaAs and Si Bipolar.

Class A, A/B, B, C, F, E

Outphasing, ET, EER

Doherty, Linearization

LNA (low noise)

Designs covering very wide bandwidths from 10 MHz to 6.0 GHz, 6 to 18 GHz, 24 to 32 GHz, and 2 to 20 GHz at high powers extending up to 5000W in solid state.  Low frequency designs down to 9kHz. 

Expert RF and Microwave engineering design service consultants.  RF design is extensive covering all facets of the field.  Knowledgeable in analog and digital design.  Strengths at leading a technical team to produce cost effective, on time solutions.  Well rounded in all aspects of R&D through production products including military programs, commercial products and consumer endeavors.  Successful from product conception to hardware delivery.  Let us help you with the following:
