MIRAD microwave is the trusted supplier of state of the art antenna transmitter, receiver, tracking and filter technology for the satellite communication industry. Our solutions and components are key factors for the success of global communication systems and interplanetary space missions. For satellite up and downlink signals MIRAD is the trusted provider of passive RF infrastructure hardware and services for ground station antennas of any type and make. From 1 GHz up to 70 GHz, we deliver a complete range of antenna & waveguide solutions with Swiss precision & quality. We design and manufacture: - Feed systems (single and multi-band) - Feed networks - Switching & combining systems - Standard waveguide component like directional couplers, terminations, filters, diplexers, OMTs, waveguide routing, air inlets and pressure windows We also provide: - Antenna geometries for the main- and sub-reflector for new ground stations including reflector deformation analysis - Antenna performance simulations (antenna efficiency, radiation pattern, G/T calculations) - Definition of antenna key parameters as a starting point for the feed system design - Feasibility assessment of antenna upgrades - Beam waveguide calculation In our in-house anechoic chamber (8m x 6m x 6m), MIRAD tests the antenna characteristics of our own systems and prototypes, as well as third party RF products up to 70 GHz. (contact us to check availability and for a quote). Our measurements are three dimensional and in high resolution. The test procedures are software defined for synchronic VNA and hardware-motion controlling. 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.
