Selected projects from the MRS portfolio. Each case study describes the problem, the approach, and the deliverable — with measured data where available.
Off-the-shelf TI CC1101 transceiver on a compact PCB with two chip antennas. Client (KickR Design) needed all four ISM bands matched in-case, with display installed. We designed and tuned matching networks for each band and measured ≤ −10 dB return loss across every required range.
Read the case study →Miniaturized GPS CRPA designed via the fragmented-aperture methodology — published as IEEE AP-S 2007 (Maloney et al.). Demonstrated excellent agreement between FDTD prediction and measured radiation patterns on fabricated hardware.
Read the research →Wide-scan, integrated-PCB fragmented aperture array element with measured 33 : 1 instantaneous bandwidth. Published IEEE APSURSI 2011 (Maloney et al.). Element design exploits — rather than avoids — electrical connections between adjacent radiators.
Read the case study →Reconfigurable fragmented aperture antenna using electronic switches between metallic pads. Beam direction, bandwidth, and polarization controlled without mechanical movement. Foundational publication: Maloney et al., IEEE AP-S 2000.
See research →30+ years of internal FDTD solver development — including anisotropic material handling, dispersive-medium models, and large-scale platform-integration runs. Available for client engagements where commercial solvers fall short.
CEM services →30-minute scoping call, no charge. Bring a spec sheet, schematic, or screenshot of whatever's not working — we'll tell you whether we can help and what it would cost.
