Breaking the Limits of RF Innovation

DSI expands what’s possible in downstream system innovation by turning decades of engineering excellence into breakthrough RF amplification and thermal management that transforms the capabilities of radar systems, communications, medical imaging, and more.

Amplification platform and cooling innovation that matters

Everything DSI ships traces to a list of physics wins: amplification that does not distort, switching at nanosecond speed, and heat that leaves the chassis more efficiently. Systems built on these breakthroughs inherit those wins and keep those advantages as requirements move and grow. The result is compounding innovation across defense, aerospace, space, science, and industry, where every system built on DSI out-innovates the competition, outpaces the adversary, advances the science, and always stays ahead of the next unknown challenge.

Technology that breaks through traditional limits

Breakthrough RF and thermal innovation that changes what is possible. Filterless bandwidth across five-plus octaves, distortion-free linearity, phase noise of −110 dB at 0.1 Hz, nanosecond pulsing and polarization switching, and heat dissipation past 250 W/cm².

Enabling unparalleled downstream innovation

Fielded systems gain it as a drop-in; clean sheets start beyond where others end. Comms that live inside the noise, radar that sees farther and finer, edge compute dense enough to think locally, and signaling only DSI makes possible.

Outperform. Outlast. Outclass.

Systems built on DSI dominate the axes that decide competitions and deployments: protocol range multiples, more power in less rack, and failure rates historically near zero from the ocean floor to orbit.

Already ahead of the next unknown challenge

New threats land as software, not redesign. Thermal and power headroom banked today becomes tomorrow’s capability growth, and DSI builds no end systems and bids no primes, so your program is never our competition.

Foundational innovation

The foundation the next generation gets built on.

These are not features stacked on a product. They are properties of the amplification and thermal physics itself, and a system inherits every one of them the moment it is built on DSI. That is the difference between an upgrade and a foundation: an upgrade improves what you already designed, a foundation changes what you are able to design next.

DSI GhostLink | Pure Amplification

Amplifier platform

Filterless, distortion-free amplification across five-plus octaves, fielded in more than 200 SKUs from 1 W to 25 kW.

DSI CryoShield | Cool to the Core

Thermal management

Nanomaterial heat transport past 250 W/cm² in air-cooled builds, applied as paste or immersion additive.

CryoShield
Linearity

The waveform arrives as sent

Amplification with a negligible difference between input and output envelopes, so filters and correction stages come out of the chain. Every waveform a designer can imagine is now a waveform the hardware can carry.

Bandwidth

Five-plus octaves in one unit

One amplifier covers what used to take a shelf of band-specific units. Simultaneous multi-band operation and real-time switching across waveforms and modulation types, with the band plan no longer dictating the architecture.

Phase noise

−110 dB at 0.1 Hz offset

An order of magnitude past the −110 dB at 1 Hz benchmark. Cleaner returns, tighter geolocation of distant or closely spaced targets, and headroom for higher-order modulation that noisier chains cannot hold.

Nanosecond control

Pulsing and polarization switching

Nanosecond-scale bursts with sharp edges, and horizontal-to-vertical switching on the same timescale. Pulse compression, polarization-encoded channels, polarimetric modes and 3D waveforms become design options rather than research problems.

Integration

Transmit-side upgrade only

Extend the range of an existing protocol without touching the waveform, the protocol, or the receiver. Fielded systems inherit the foundation as a drop-in; clean sheets start from a baseline nothing else offers.

SWaP and heat

Heat leaves, so the envelope shrinks

Nanomaterial transport past 250 W/cm² in air-cooled builds pulls heat off the die and across the chassis. Hotspots go, MTBF rises, and the same output fits in up to 84% less space, which is what lets the capability ride platforms that could never carry it before.

Form factor

Same 16 kilowatts. 13U instead of 84U.

An over-the-horizon radar amplifier originally specified at 84U has been refactored to 13U with no loss of output. The best competing solution needs two 8 kW amplifiers and 42U to reach the same number. Drawn to scale below.

85% smaller than the original specification. 70% smaller than the competitor. Or keep the original bay and put roughly 100 kW in it.

Two amplifiers, one cabinet, and the same 16 kW still costs 42U.

Past performance the hard way.

Defense primes, aerospace primes, universities and research organizations, with concentrations across the AUSCANUKUS nations. A few examples of where the hardware already lives.

Remote science

Profiler and sounder backbones

The PEGASUS family carries wind-profiler and sounder installations on remote, power-constrained sites with no chance of a service call. Efficiency and reliability were built for exactly that.

Radar

Over-the-horizon at full power

The 16 kW OTHR amplifier above shipped, then came back for a refactor that cut 84U to 13U at the same output. The best competing approach still needs 42U.

Every domain

Air, sea, subsurface, ground, mobile and space

Already flying, floating and sitting on remote sites, from tactical comms to environmental networks to space programs. Fielded is the operative word.

Who we work with

How can we help?

The same amplification and thermal foundation serves very different problems, and the conversation changes with who is asking. Find the one that sounds like yours and tell us what the system has to do.

Defense

Defense & aerospace builders

You are competing for a program and need an edge the incumbent chain cannot match. We supply the amplification and thermal core, and we never bid against you.

Government

Government & allied missions

You are writing requirements or closing a capability gap. We show what is achievable now so you can specify it, and we support the integrator who delivers it.

Science

Science & research

You are keeping instruments alive on remote sites with budgets that do not stretch. We refit existing systems, then install and service them anywhere they sit.

Commercial

Commercial & industrial innovators

You are blocked by a thermal or power ceiling in the product roadmap, from data centers to medical imaging. We remove the ceiling and hand back the design margin.

Start here

Tell us what the amplifier has to do.

Band, power, duty cycle, the envelope it has to fit, and the environment it has to survive. We will tell you whether it maps to something we have already built, an adaptation of it, or a clean sheet, and roughly what that takes.
