With the likes of AMD’s new adaptive RFSoC, Versal, pushing the boundaries of processing power and high-speed interfaces, optimising RF performance at 18 GHz is more important than ever.
Slipstream Design’s expert Direct RF engineering team specialises in tackling key challenges like clock jitter, power supply noise, and signal integrity.

As we look ahead to DSEI 2025, we’re excited to unveil the next evolution of our flagship platform, ASTRO, our ultra-low SWAP, wideband plug-and-play radar processor. 

Discover how we delivered a high-performance RF X-band transceiver architecture with enhanced capabilities on a tight budget and timeline

Slipstream Design was privileged to be invited to present our progress in getting ASTRO ready for space communications at the event hosted by the UK Space Agency last week.

We’re excited to share how we’re adapting ASTRO, our wideband adaptive radio unit, for use in space. Originally designed for fast, secure communication on the ground, ASTRO is now being developed for satellite communications.

While Radio Frequency (RF) has long been the foundation of wireless communication, the increasing role of digital technology is transforming how we interact with and utilise radio waves. At Slipstream Design, we stand at the intersection of these two domains, uniquely positioned to fuse them into cutting-edge radio and radar sub-systems. 

Microwave heating is the use of RF (Radio Frequency) energy in the microwave spectrum (typically 2.45GHz) to heat an item. Although microwave cooking of food is the most common application, microwave heating and drying has widespread use in industry.

The Slipstream Engineering Design Team has completed the testing of ASTRO, a compact wideband reconfigurable radio platform, integrated with Radio Design’s reconfigurable filter technology, marking a new milestone in developing UK homegrown 5G technology.
