New Space Economy: a big opportunity for Italy

on 8 Oct 2019 in News |

On the 10th October the first Workshop on “New Space Economy” will be held in Foligno. Experts from institutional, research and industrial world will argue about the topic. They will discuss on the positive impact that the space economy has already had on our Country and about the opportunities to take in order to grow and remain key player in the global aerospace field. Prof. Roberto Sorrentino, president of RF Microtech and vice-president of the Umbria Aerospace Cluster, will actively participate to the panel discussion. Main topics Introduction at the New Space Economy The technology transfer: upstream & downstream Spacetech in Italy: an overview The Fondation E. Amaldi and its innovation booster role New Space Economy Expo Forum, 10 – 12 December 2019: The Space In One Place. Registration details and more information are available at the workshop website        ...

RF Microtech celebrates 10 years of Excellence

on 28 Sep 2017 in News |

RF Microtech was founded on the 17th September 2007 as a spin-off company of the University of Perugia. The spirit of free research, typical of university, has been conserved so as to spur innovation, wide spectrum of competences and enthusiasm. As a result of the strong motivation of its researchers and the hard team work carried out in these years, the Company has constantly and significantly grown since its foundation. It now employs 16 people (in addition to Prof. Sorrentino), 15 of which are highly qualified engineers with Master or PhD degrees. In 2017 the company has moved to new larger premises, an 800m2 building located in a 2000 sqm estate. A new and well-equipped laboratory for the assembly of phased array antennas has been set up, along with measurement facilities up to 67GHz for antenna and microwave equipment. In the next months, the acquisition of new equipment for small production, testing and prototyping of antenna and microwave component is...

RF Microtech Develops Complex UWB Filter In Record Time

on 19 Apr 2017 in News |

Another success story for RF Microtech. A great achievement for the company, whose outcomes in projecting Complex UWB Filter have been published by AWRCORP, but also exalted on the Microwave Journal (see the links below) The Design Challenge Expo Milano 2015 was a universal exposition that hosted over five thousand events in six months. The organizers had contracted with several mobile service providers to deploy stations throughout the expo area to provide complete mobile service coverage for the event. In addition, Italian government security services relied on mobile base stations strategically placed throughout the expo to ensure communications for the event, including the public safety network. However, the lobe of one of the mobile service antennas directly interfered with the communication signals of a critical security control base station and the issue had to be resolved immediately as the expo was opening in less than a month. RF Microtech was asked to provide a validated full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation of a 2-port ultra-wideband (UWB) filter that could reject all five mobile service bands with greater than 35 dB of rejection. Furthermore, the filter had to ensure 80 MHz to 6 GHz wide-band transmission with insertion losses less than 2 dB RF Microtech’s client, H3G, also required that the device fit within a 1x1x0.2 meter enclosure, while still providing acceptable levels of coexistence to 6 GHz without signal degradation. The validated EM simulation had to be delivered within two weeks and the complete deployable device by the time the expo opened. The Solution “We chose Microwave Office because it could easily and quickly optimize the cascade of a series of full-wave component blocks of a very large and complex UWB filter structure. Using Microwave Office, we were able to reduce optimization and development time by 90 percent, a critical factor in delivering this project in a very short timeframe.”stated Roberto Sorrentino Honorary President of RF Microtech The RF Microtech design team immediately went to work developing a circuit model of five independent notched-band filters (NBFs) cascaded along a transmission line. The team chose NI AWR Design Environment, specifically Microwave Office circuit design software, for this time-critical project. Each independent filter was designed as a 4th or 5th order NBF, composed...

Microwave and RF Engineering – Chinese Edition

on 6 Sep 2015 in News |

The book by R. Sorrentino (RF Microtech’s co-founder) and G. Bianchi Microwave and RF Engineering (edited by Wiley) has now been translated in Chinese. This outstanding book is an essential text for both students and professionals, combining detailed theory with clear practical guidance. It explores a large spectrum of topics within microwave and radio frequency (RF) engineering, encompassing electromagnetic theory, microwave circuits and components. It provides thorough descriptions of the most common microwave test instruments and advises on semiconductor device modelling. Microwave and RF Engineering presents up-to-date research and applications at different levels of difficulty, creating a useful tool for a first approach to the subject as well as for subsequent in-depth study. It is therefore indispensable reading for advanced professionals and designers who operate at high frequencies as well as senior students who are first approaching the...
