Satellite Ground Station Engineering

Rooftop earth station antennas during installation

Our engineers design earth stations, VSAT networks and RF chains around proven equipment, from a single uplink to a multi-site network. The same people install, integrate and maintain what they design, so every drawing is built for the field.

  • Link budgets
  • Equipment selection and bills of material
02

RF engineering

  • RF chain and amplifier design
  • Waveguide and redundancy switching
  • Interference and intermod analysis
03

Site engineering

  • Look angles and site layout
  • RFI and EMI analysis
  • Foundation and civil design
04

Upgrades and modernization

  • Earth terminal modernization
  • Technology refresh planning
  • Obsolescence replacement

Designs grounded in field experience

Our engineers do more than draw. The same team installs, integrates and maintains the systems it designs, so every drawing reflects how equipment is really mounted, cabled and serviced at a working site. That shows in the details: practical cable runs, room to maintain the equipment, redundancy where an outage would hurt and margin where a link is tight.

Projects range from a custom one-off network to complex systems that span multiple platforms and protocols, on every band from L through Ka, Q and V-band. Designs are built on proven equipment, so they meet your technical and operational requirements today and stay supportable for years.

Questions

Do you prepare link budgets?

Yes. Link budgets are part of our system design work, along with ground station architecture and equipment selection.

Which bands do you engineer for?

Every band from L through Ka, Q and V-band, for transmit, receive and receive-only systems.

How is engineering priced?

Hourly, by the day or week, as a firm fixed price for a defined project, or under a contract services agreement.

What engineering disciplines do you cover?

RF, systems, broadcast, test, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, all under one roof.

Do your engineers also build what they design?

Yes. Our engineers install, integrate and maintain what they design, so every drawing is grounded in real-world experience.

What are pre-engineered designs?

Proven, repeatable system designs that allow fast turn-up on tight budgets.
