What We Do

An integrated Software Defined Radio (SDR) System-on-Chip that co-integrates a state-of-the-art RF transceiver (1.5-2.5GHz, up to 20MHz bandwidth) with extensive digital compute resources, including three Linux-capable RISC-V processors and a 192-core Manycore Array for parallelized waveform processing.

A digital processing chip hardware platform for board integration, combining Zynq SOC and Kintex FPGA for rapid, low-cost system prototyping and demonstrations, especially for digital phased array usage. Supports high data rates, computationally intensive algorithms, and flexible board configurations.

A digital predistortion (DPD) software package that achieves high linearity and peak efficiency in power amplifier systems. It supports a wide array of configurations, offers advanced FPGA architecture, and provides enhanced crest factor reduction and digital up/down conversion.

A compact, versatile DSP platform and waveform generator for optimizing power amplifier performance, supporting envelope tracking and real-time digital predistortion. Features include minimal setup, tunable RF frequency band from 300 MHz to 6 GHz, minimal unwanted spectral images, robust platform using Xilinx and Texas Instruments components, lightweight form factor, and a user-friendly GUI for per-sample signal alignment and feedback. Previous customers include Air Force Research Laboratory and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.

A family of gigabit-per-second modem devices with advanced software-defined modem hardware, enabling enhanced and secure communications for next-generation networks. Features include 1+ Gbps Ethernet connectivity, millimeter-wave wireless RF compatibility (50-90 GHz), multi-channel ADC design, FPGA-based forward error correction, and integrated operability with position, acquisition, and tracking systems. Used in high-profile collaborations with DARPA and battlefield comms for Shadow UAVs.

A high-voltage envelope modulator, the world’s only commercially available high power (>5W) envelope modulator, designed to maximize efficiency for 5-10W power amplifiers. Supports wide modulation bandwidths and high peak-to-average power ratios.

A radio transceiver hardware platform offering wideband, reconfigurable frequency access for secure communication. Features two independent radio channels, supports 450MHz-3.6GHz, and is designed for both stationary and portable use.

DPD software for multi-carrier envelope tracking power amplifiers, enabling high efficiency and signal integrity for multi-carrier, multi-functional transmitter systems. Key features include 9W average output, -50 dBc ACPR, and 42-45% efficiency. Adagio™ is a flagship technology, integral to MaXentric’s multi-carrier envelope tracking packages and paired with MaXPAL™ for advanced DPD solutions.

A UWB-IR radar detection scanner system for detecting life and movement through walls, designed for first responders and law enforcement. Provides real-time monitoring, hands-free operation, and advanced algorithms to distinguish living from non-living motion.

Advanced biosensing solutions including SWEAT™, a wearable patch that harvests bio-energy from sweat for health monitoring, and IBIS™, an ingestible capsule for real-time gastrointestinal health monitoring, transmitting data via ultra-low power wireless communication.

LMR software and smartphone device cover that bridges land-mobile radio and commercial Android smartphones, enabling seamless, secure communication across LMR, cellular, and Wi-Fi networks. Includes a VoIP-P25 network gateway and attachable radio equipment jacket.

A technology suite for power amplifier efficiency, reducing power usage while maintaining high linearity in mobile platforms. GreenAmp™ enables high efficiency, low power, and low heat by tracking the envelope signal, resulting in lower temperatures, better battery life, and more flexibility in amplifiers. Powers products like Bento Box™ and MaXEA™.

Technologies for next-generation mobile platforms, including gigabit-per-second modems, V-Band WLAN networks, and software-defined radios for enhanced wireless connectivity in military and commercial applications.

Radar-based vital sign detection technology for low-power, contactless monitoring of vital signs using advanced detection algorithms. Developed for battlefield medical applications, it provides reliable, non-contact vital sign sensing.
