Vectis Research has both the resources and technical skills to perform the demanding and innovative work we thrive on. Much of our hardware design consists of rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept design. Therefore, we have the internal capacity to assemble and test our own PCB assemblies. This not only supports rapid development, but also ensures that we can take the care and attention for specialized assembly procedures often required for RF/mixed-signal designs. Our expertise in RF and mixed signal hardware development requires specialized test instrumentation and laboratory support. Mixed signal designs also require specialized digital hardware for processing, control, and I/O. This is supported by our capacity to design and develop FPGA logic as well as software for embedded processors and micro controllers. At a higher-level, we design and code application software and user interfaces on a variety of platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Linux.

Our skills in software and FPGA firmware development are supported with a robust internal IT infrastructure. We use the latest technologies in clustered server virtualization to internally host the many software tools used for CAD, CAM, simulation, FPGA design, and software development. Our server cluster also allows us test software deployments on a variety of different host and OS environments to ensure stability and performance.

Vectis Research has a fully equipped engineering laboratory and in-house capability to build and assemble prototype and low volume sub-assemblies. Laboratory test equipment includes microwave (up to 26.5 GHz) spectrum and vector network analyzers, signal generators, pulse and video modulators, GS/s multi-channel oscilloscopes, and various other supporting test instruments and test mainframes. Most instruments are linked to dedicated laboratory PC workstations via GPIB to perform automated measurement and acquisition.
