Emtera provides advanced wireless engineering design and product development solutions — specializing in cutting-edge active antenna designs.
Emtera’s products support high-performance mission requirements while also driving down product cost, size, weight, and power.
Emtera develops advanced antenna, RF, and microwave solutions for satellite communications, space-based systems, electronic warfare, positioning and navigation, and next-generation sensing applications across terrestrial, airborne, and space platforms.
WHAT WE DO
Emtera designs and delivers finished, tested RF hardware — and provides the engineering services behind it.
Antenna Design
Electronically steered arrays and fixed-beam antennas, 300 MHz to 70+ GHz — from array architecture through measured, delivered hardware.

SSPAs & BUCs
High-efficiency solid-state power amplifiers, BUCs, LNAs, and LNBs — designed and delivered as finished, tested units.
Learn more →
RF & Microwave PCB Design
RF board design from requirements through measured bring-up: architecture, schematic, layout, prototype, and verified performance.
Learn more →
RF Link Budgets & System Design
Link budgets, G/T and EIRP analysis, beam shapes, and satellite-to-earth coverage maps — the system engineering that sizes the hardware.
Learn more →
Automated RF Test Stations
Turnkey automated test stations for RF production and qualification — fixtures, instrumentation, software, and documentation.

Custom RF Semiconductors
Custom GaAs, InP, and Si power amplifiers, LNAs, phase shifters, and switches — the semiconductor floor of a full-stack RF house.

MRDF — the Microwave Rapid Development Framework — is Emtera's proprietary design-and-build platform: pre-engineered functional blocks, shielded 3D MicroModules, and 100% automated test, from 1 to 100 GHz. Same-day design release; delivered, tested hardware in 4–6 weeks.

Ruggedized RF hardware for the environments where it has to work — from concept through flight-qualified delivery.
SERVICES
Emtera works closely with our customers to ensure success — supporting the full product lifecycle from early design, through prototype, and into production.
Ideation and Design
It starts with the physics — a link budget that sizes the whole system before anything is built. Designs are composed from pre-engineered functional blocks with performance predicted from as-measured data.
Prototype and Testing
Semiconductors, boards, antennas, and amplifiers come together under one roof — delivered, tested hardware in 4–6 weeks, with 100% automated test on every module we build.
Production
Validated designs move to volume on the same platform and test stations that built the prototype — fully automated production test, often under one minute per unit.
