Capabilities
Our multi-disciplinary engineers design complete turnkey products, covering electronics, firmware and mechanics, or sub-assemblies that fit into your own mechanical design. We’re particularly comfortable with RF and wireless, which is often what brings clients to us.
RF and wireless
RF Logic was founded in 1992 to design RF test instruments, and that experience has stayed with us for 34 years.
It's often why clients come to us. Plenty of design houses can drop in a wireless module, but fewer are comfortable with what happens between the chip and the antenna, or with why a design that works on the bench can struggle in the field. We are.
When Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Zigbee aren't the right fit, we design custom radio interfaces that are optimised for range, latency, power or reliability.
Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, cellular and GNSS, integrated with the RF care that makes the difference between a module that works on paper and a product that works in the field.
UHF systems with PLL-synthesised channels and diversity reception, for wireless audio, conference and telemetry products.
Antenna selection and matching, and RF-aware PCB layout, so range and reliability are designed in from the start.
Products that keep working in crowded radio environments, including microphones that are immune to mobile phone interference.
Experience of radio regulatory approval worldwide, so a custom radio is a practical option rather than a risk.
A long-standing strength. Bespoke radio links, plus Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and cellular, designed by engineers who are comfortable with RF.
Efficient, maintainable firmware on microcontrollers, DSP and FPGA, connected to the cloud when needed.
Micro-powered wearables and portable instruments that last on a single charge.
Professional audio products, from digital automatic mixers to RF-immune microphones.
Efficient power supplies and high-performance LED lighting.
Enclosures, miniaturisation and industrial control, designed for manufacture from the outset.
Many design houses can drop in a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Zigbee module. We can too. Our RF background also lets us design bespoke wireless interfaces for applications where standard protocols fall short, and our experience with regulatory approval worldwide means a custom radio is a practical option, not a risk.
We’ve designed products for audio, RF, industrial and defence markets. Many products miss out on ideas that are routine in another sector, and in-house teams can become insular. We bring a fresh view to your design, along with an up-to-date knowledge of components and technology at the very start of the project, when it has the most effect on features, cost and performance.
We aim for simple, elegant designs that meet today’s requirements and leave room for new features later. That means compact hardware, sound mechanical design, and well-written, efficient, maintainable firmware.
Some of our clients are large companies who need extra design capacity or a particular skill. Others are successful businesses in a different field, with a product idea but no electronics experience. Either way, we combine your knowledge of your market with our product design experience.
How we work
We work through your requirements with you and bring in ideas that have worked in other sectors.
Electronics, firmware and mechanical design developed together, so the parts fit first time.
Fine-pitch SMD prototypes built by specialist local partners, with in-house rework, modification and test.
A complete manufacturing data pack. Build with your manufacturer or one of our UK partners, from one-offs to 100k units a year.
Ongoing technical support during production, plus final test or test solutions for contract manufacturers.
