RF consulting for product teams

RF engineering support for wireless product development.

Work with Ricardo Pereira on RF architecture, antenna integration, wireless performance, EMC challenges and AI-assisted RF tool development.

Work directly with me.

My expertise spans RF system architecture and design, antennas, electromagnetic simulation, laboratory measurement, and EMC and compliance support. I also use AI-assisted development to build RF tools, with a focus on test automation.

Services

Where does your project
need RF expertise?

Support for RF design, integration, performance and EMC challenges, plus custom tools for RF test automation and development workflows.

When RF testing needs automation

AI-assisted RF
tool development

Use AI-assisted development to build tools for RF test automation — from instrument control and repeatable test sequences to measurement data capture, analysis and reporting.

What you take forward

Test scripts or tools tailored to your setup, with documented test procedures, usage guidance and checks against agreed reference measurements.

Before you commit to a design

RF architecture
& design review

Review requirements, RF budgets and design assumptions before moving into implementation.

What you take forward

Findings, technical risks and prioritised recommendations for your design decisions.

When RF meets product constraints

Antenna &
RF integration

Examine how the antenna and RF design fit your product, and identify the analysis or validation work needed.

What you take forward

Integration recommendations and a focused simulation or measurement plan.

When performance falls short

RF troubleshooting
& measurement support

Investigate performance that differs from expectations by examining the design and measurement evidence.

What you take forward

Diagnostic findings and recommended next investigations to help your team move forward.

Preparing for EMC tests or resolving test issues

EMC & compliance
support

Investigate emissions and immunity issues, review grounding, shielding and layout, and support pre-compliance testing and certification preparation.

What you take forward

An investigation or test plan, design recommendations and clear next steps for testing and certification preparation.

Build your team’s RF understanding

Focused technical training around your team’s questions and experience level, with practical exercises and reference material.

Discuss training needs

Scope, deliverables and availability are agreed for each project.

Meet your consultant

I’m Ricardo Pereira.

My work connects RF system decisions with the design, simulation and measurement behind them.

My background spans RF system architecture, RF and microwave design, antennas, electromagnetic simulation, laboratory measurement and certification.

I hold a master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Porto. My professional experience includes research at INESC TEC, antenna and hardware work at INVOLI, and RF design, certification and system architecture at Sonova.

I also use AI to build tools that support RF development, with a focus on automating tests and measurement workflows.

Sharing RF knowledge

I also develop RF Journey, an educational project organised around Learn, Tools and Academy.

Working together

A clear scope.
A practical next step.

Start with the engineering challenge. Define the work, required inputs and deliverables before making a commitment.

  1. Discuss the challenge

    Share your product, development stage and the RF question you need to resolve.

  2. Agree the scope

    Clarify inputs, deliverables, availability, and access to any tools, hardware or facilities the work requires.

  3. Carry out the agreed work

    Review the evidence, investigate within scope and document findings, uncertainties and recommendations.
