ENGINEERING SERVICES

From electromagnetic physics to complete operational systems.

Specialist engineering for complex RF, electromagnetic, sensing, timing and signal-processing problems — from antennas and fast pulse electronics through SDR/DSP, distributed systems and operator-ready implementations.

RF & Electromagnetic Engineering

Analysis and practical engineering around RF propagation, coupling, receiver architecture, RF paths, dynamic range, antennas, microwave behaviour, interference, shielding, EMI/EMC and difficult electromagnetic effects.

Antennas, GPR & Time-Domain Systems

Broadband and specialized antenna structures for demanding applications, including GPR antennas, Vivaldi, log-spiral and TEM-horn concepts. Work can extend across the complete GPR chain: antenna impulse response, pulse generation, transmit/receive isolation, receiver recovery, sampling, timing and interpretation.

Pulse & UWB Electronics

Fast pulse generators, high-speed switching, pulse shaping, trigger architecture, timing, synchronization and associated measurement techniques. The emphasis is on practical transient behaviour, recovery, dynamic range and co-design with the antenna and receiver.

Spectrum Monitoring & Signal Analysis

Measurement strategy, receiver and antenna selection, SDR acquisition, detection, classification, interference investigations, signal characterization, recording and spectrum-monitoring system design.

SDR, DSP & Radio System Architecture

Whole-chain system design covering RF front ends, converters, clocks and references, FPGA/host partitioning, DSP, demodulation, diversity/MRC, data transport, backends, diagnostics and operator interfaces.

Timing, Synchronization & Localization

GNSS/PPS timing, disciplined references, hardware timestamps, distributed IQ capture, TDOA, direction finding and localization architectures where measurement provenance and uncertainty remain explicit.

Technical Security & Specialist Investigation

Specialist technical analysis for sensitive environments, including RF-aware security assessments, anomalous-emission investigation and difficult engineering problems where radio and electromagnetic behaviour matter.

Prototype Development & Complete System Design

Rapid proof-of-concept hardware and software through to maintainable field systems using SDR, embedded Linux, microcontrollers, GNSS timing, distributed sensors, custom electronics and DSP. Engagements can include architecture, prototype, measurement, commissioning and engineering documentation.

Discuss a requirement

Complex projects can start with a short technical description. Kostet can then determine the most useful next step: analysis, measurement, prototype, architecture or a focused investigation.
