Wireless system evaluation, trouble-shooting and coordination:
When you need your wireless systems to work, there is no better resource to call upon than the experienced Nexonic RF designers. Not only do we understand the complexities and challenges of operating and coordinating RF, we are completely knowledgeable in all aspects of wireless system design and engineering. A good intermod program and careful planning and coordination can address many applications, but when the channel counts are high, multiple bands are used (UHF is no longer the only game in town!), the performance absolutely critical, the wireless environment increasingly hostile and you are running live wireless – you can add another level of success and security by utilizing engineers who have already proven their expertise in designing all aspects of world-class wireless in all frequency ranges up to and including microwave.
With a complete and fundamental understanding of all aspects of wireless design, facility-wide optimization, event/venue coordination as well as complex problem-solving become easier to accomplish. And when a tool is needed but doesn’t exist for an application or event: many times we can create it in rapid fashion in order to assure positive performance outcome.
Trust our unique and comprehensive RF services to:
-
Provide event RF coordination
-
Trouble-shoot unstable wireless performance in event or facility settings
-
Site surveys for RF operation
-
Recommend compatible RF products, frequencies and methods for particular applications
-
Technical management of audio design/build/install projects
-
Perform critical risk analysis and system review of existing or proposed wireless set-ups
-
Create specialty product/device solutions for unique or congested settings to enhance or protect best-in-class wireless
-
Design, build, deploy and optimize: custom filters, combiners, distribution and switching set-ups, antennas and more
RF design and optimization:
The world is becoming increasingly wireless. Knowing what wireless technology works best for which application gets more complicated every day. Navigating the RF Spectrum landscape on a national and global level is essential to being able to not just sell a product, but even in order to legally operate a product. We have designed full wireless microphone systems for everything from 2-channel VHF consumer products, to UHF wireless microphones used by Grammy-award winning artists, to infrared conference systems, to multiple award-winning 6.5GHz UWB wireless systems proven to operate in the most demanding professional broadcast and live environments.
RF services start with best-in class tools in support of our experience:
-
RF circuit design and layout – RF design and layout for transmitters, receivers, filters and more. Unlike some RF vendors, we are also strong in microwave layout and design.
-
Utilizing two top industry design software tools, Ansyss HFSS , and Mentor’s PADS Advanced RF designer, we manage seamless integration of all aspects of wireless design. From system modeling through electromagnetic solver, to integrating the optimum packaged parts through creating custom RF component designs. Our tools allow coordination and implementation of parametric circuit design, efficient layouts, design optimization with interaction analysis, design validation, and design trouble-shooting to provide superior performance results.
-
From DC through microwave, our full simulation, modeling, impedance matching design verification allows for more reliable design, fewer spins, faster time to market and of course, lower cost.
We are familiar with many types of wireless modulation, methods and frequency ranges. We can help with:
-
Designing a new idea from scratch
-
Modeling, simulating and documenting an existing circuit or layout
-
Improving upon an existing design
-
Examining existing designs for cost and value engineering
-
Addressing outdated or parts obsolescence issues
-
Addressing the needs of ever-changing and challenging regulatory requirements
Professional Audio:
We started our careers with a love for (and the ears for) the highest possible audio quality. Achieving the best possible sound performance is fundamental to anything we work on, and our >60 years combined audio design experience is a significant differentiator in our work versus that of other consultants/firms. Whether it’s grounding, bandwidth, throughput, signal path, dynamic range, thermal effects, controlling transducer characteristics, transient response, psychoacoustic properties, or hundreds of other complex interactions, if your product or design demands excellent audio, solid audio design experience must underlay all the other work to achieve the best results.

Circuit design and optimization:
There are many ways to design a circuit to accomplish a goal, and there are numerous designers/contractors who can deliver a working circuit. “Working” is not where we stop. With years of experience in design for production, quality engineering, reliability, and performance optimization, we go beyond working to deliver designs based upon state-of-the-art best practices to accomplish the best possible performance.
We can help you to:
- Design a new idea from scratch
-
Model, simulate and document an existing circuit or layout
-
Examine and manage thermal issues across an entire design space
-
Examine and manage DC power balancing and optimize circuit power stability
-
Improve upon an existing design
-
Add to an existing design
-
Examine miniaturization options
-
Analyze existing designs for cost and value engineering
-
Address outdated or parts obsolescence issues
-
Address the needs of ever-changing and challenging regulatory requirements
PCB layout:
The more demanding the product application or circuit design, the more critical the considerations for PCB layout become. We are experts in optimizing layouts that enhance rather than hinder performance. Whether it is a super low latency digital circuit, a high dynamic range/low noise audio circuit, or even the most challenging discreet microwave RF PCB layout, we use our experience and the latest design tools to create a physical implementation in support of the ideal theoretical design. Not only is good layout integral to performance success, in higher frequency RF designs, the layout becomes as inseparable from the performance as the actual component selections.
Our comprehensive extensive experience enables excellence in:
-
Feasibility study and proof of concept prototyping
-
Critical design reviews of process and product designs and systems
-
Pre-screening of or evaluation to regulatory requirements
-
Miniaturization
-
Cost-reduction via re-design, sourcing, or improved design for production
-
Recommendations for future related products or product improvements
-
Any/all aspects of mechanical, electrical, software/firmware design of a product or system including full documentation packages for hand-off to production/assembly and test
Product design: From full development to individual tasks such as sourcing, cost-reductions, improvements and more:
With >60 combined years in all aspects of product design, sourcing, manufacturing, and on-going improvement, we are happy to help you take your vision from concept to completed successful product or help with any of the steps in between. Successful products are more than just the sum of their individual components and parts. Good products optimize the interaction of variables in mechanical design, electrical design, software/firmware design, production methods, sourcing and scalability and then combine best-in-class engineering decisions with close alignment to end user needs and expectations.
