MPG's RF analysis helps you design communication solutions for first time success.
Mission-critcal platforms employ several RF communications channels to ensure force coordination over long distances. Unbeknownst to the operator/warfighter, often these critical communication distances are not realized due to self-generated or cosite interference. This degradation has, at its source, insufficient antenna isolation on the platform, lack of transmitter spectral purity and receiver vulnerability to desensitization from local interference. Therefore, antenna placement, transceiver selection and cosite interference mitigation techniques are central to ensuring full communications range is realized.
To meet these challenges, MPG Solutions® offers our system integration customers a “turnkey” source for solutions to the challenges of antenna placement optimization and RF cosite interference mitigation in shipboard, airborne and vehicular applications.
RF Analysis offers expert assistance in determining the level of interference mitigation required for a specific application. The goal of the analysis is to work with closely with our systems integrators to ensure maximum communications range and channel availability given the SWaP-C constraints.
Determines optimal communications hardware selection
Determines minimal channel frequency seperation
Provides detailed platform antenna placement optimization
Investigates minimal link budget margins
