Platforms

Two technologies. One removes distortion, the other removes heat.

GhostLink is a drop-in amplifier platform that amplifies and does nothing else. CryoShield is a nanomaterial that moves heat out of components and housings faster than copper. Independently, each lifts a hard constraint. Together they put multi-kilowatt, filterless RF into form factors legacy designs cannot reach.

On the bench

The claims, on instruments.

Linearity, pulse edges and polarization switching are the three things people ask us to prove first. These are the measurements we show them.

Spectrum analyser trace of a two-tone test showing intermodulation products
Two-tone spectrumThird-order intermodulation products driven down to levels as low as −91 dBc, so co-sited emitters do not contaminate each other.

Nanosecond pulsingA 90 ns RF burst with sharp rise and fall. Zero droop, no ringing, timings below a nanosecond on pulse products.

CryoShield™ · Cool to the core

Roughly 750 W/mK. Copper is about 400.

CryoShield is a non-toxic nanoparticle paste and powder. Put it directly on components, on housings, or use it as an additive in an immersion loop. It does not ask for a system redesign, which is the point: the thermal headroom shows up in hardware you have already built and already qualified.

What you spend that headroom on is your call: shrink the component, raise the output, ruggedize the part, or pack more of them into the same volume.

Power density

1.5× to 2.5× the power in 20–50% less rack.

The best-in-class competitor models used by SOCOM, BAE and Lockheed put 2 kW in an 8U chassis, 1 kW in 5U, and 500 W in 3U. The THEIA family covers all three of those points in 4U, and beats them on output at every one.

COTS to custom

The COTS designation is the starting point, not the ceiling.

Every catalog part is a commercial-off-the-shelf item in active production. We regularly take that same proven technology and tailor it mechanically, environmentally, and electrically to a platform, a program, or an operating environment. Most of what we ship has been adapted somehow.

Mechanical

Form factor

Chassis depth, rack-unit height, mounting patterns, connector locations, panel layouts and weight targets, to match an equipment bay you already have.

Environmental

Hardening

MIL-STD-810 shock and vibration, MIL-STD-461 EMI/EMC, IP-rated enclosures, salt-fog and humidity, and temperature-range extension.

Thermal

Cooling integration

CryoShield tuned to the host: air-cooled, liquid-cooled, immersion, or conductive cold-plate, with interfaces specified to your heat-rejection topology.

Interface

Connectors and I/O

RF, DC, control and data interfaces (38999, BNC, TNC, N, SMA, fiber, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet variants) matched to your harnesses.

Power

Conditioning

28 VDC, 115/230 VAC single or three-phase, 400 Hz and 800 Hz, inrush limiting, EMI filtering, and integrated conditioning to the platform.

Program

Documentation and qualification

Test plans, FAT/SAT procedures, first-article inspection reports, MIL-STD qualification campaigns, and traceability for program acceptance.

What to send us

Target platform, environmental profile, performance requirements and program milestones. Engineering comes back with a recommended engagement level, a technical approach and a rough schedule. Pricing for adapted configurations keeps COTS efficiency wherever the requirement allows it.

Start here

Bring us the requirement, not the part number.

If it maps to something in the catalog we will tell you which one. If it needs an adaptation we will tell you what kind. If it needs a clean sheet we will tell you that too, and what it takes.
