RF Systems Engineering

At the foundation of any reliable wireless communications system is radio-frequency (RF) engineering. ARINC's RF system engineering services provide complete solutions for your wireless communication needs. ARINC works with you to develop or upgrade a customized wireless system that is right for your business. We do this by evaluating your special needs; defining system requirements, or reviewing the existing requirements; identifying the most suitable equipment; and then designing, integrating, installing, and testing the total solution.

From military systems to wireless LANs, ARINC's extensive experience includes customers in many industries. For example, we design, integrate, and deploy a number of customized wireless systems, including:

• Military—satellite and terrestrial applications
• HF, VHF, and UHF radio systems, including analog, digital, and trunk
• APCO Project 25 systems
• Air-to-ground and ground-to-ground systems
• Microwave data links
• In-building and outdoor coverage augmentation
• Distributed antenna system
• Custom and special antenna design
