Case Studies
Case Study: Masterpiece Technologies together with Elipse Engineering Ltd ~ RFDU Unit Revolution
Introduction
The Masterpiece RF team together with Elipse Engineering, both leaders in radio frequency technology, faced the challenge of manufacturing a Radio Frequency Distribution Unit (RFDU) that was initially specified to be 5-6U in size with connectorized components. Both RF teams, committed to exceeding expectations, proposed an innovative solution that not only fulfilled the customer's requirements but also set a new standard for the production process.
Challenge
The task was to design an RFDU that met strict size specifications while maintaining cost-effectiveness, reliability, and efficient heat management.
Solution
The RF teams of Masterpiece Tech and Elipse Engineering developed together an innovative approach by recommending the adoption of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) components. This pivotal choice resulted in the development of a sleek 1U drawer, effectively halving the unit's size and substantially lowering production expenses. Furthermore, the engineers crafted a tailored Printed Circuit Board (PCB) circuit to enhance the new design further.
Implementation
