RF and Microwave Engineering Consulting
Straight RF, LLC provides senior-level RF and microwave engineering services to companies that need specialized expertise for a defined project, a difficult technical problem, or additional support for an existing engineering team.
Located in Silicon Valley, Straight RF is led by David A. Straight, an RF/microwave design engineer with approximately 30 years of experience in circuit design, radio-system architecture, electromagnetic simulation, and the implementation of high-frequency designs.
RF and Microwave Design
Circuit- and system-level design services for filters, matching networks, couplers, mixers, amplifiers, oscillators, frequency synthesizers, transceivers, passive structures, and other RF/microwave applications.
Electromagnetic Simulation
Planar electromagnetic simulation using Sonnet Software for filters, matching networks, transmission-line structures, launches, transitions, couplers, RFIC passives, and other layouts affected by electromagnetic coupling and parasitic behavior.
RF PCB Design and Review
RF-focused schematic design, PCB implementation, pre-fabrication layout review, and troubleshooting—with particular attention to stackup, grounding, transmission-line geometry, component placement, isolation, and unintended coupling.
Experienced Help—When You Need It
Engagements can range from a short independent design review or simulation study to the design and implementation of a complete RF or microwave circuit. Services are available remotely and, when appropriate, on site in the Silicon Valley area.
