RF consulting for product teams
Get specialist input on RF architecture, antenna integration, wireless performance and EMC challenges — with Ricardo Pereira.
My expertise spans RF system architecture and design, antennas, electromagnetic simulation, laboratory measurement, and EMC and compliance support.
Meet RicardoServices
Support for the design decisions, integration challenges, performance questions and EMC testing your team is working through.
Before you commit to a design
Review requirements, RF budgets and design assumptions before moving into implementation.
Findings, technical risks and prioritised recommendations for your design decisions.
When RF meets product constraints
Examine how the antenna and RF design fit your product, and identify the analysis or validation work needed.
Integration recommendations and a focused simulation or measurement plan.
When performance falls short
Investigate performance that differs from expectations by examining the design and measurement evidence.
Diagnostic findings and recommended next investigations to help your team move forward.
Preparing for EMC tests or resolving test issues
Investigate emissions and immunity issues, review grounding, shielding and layout, and support pre-compliance testing and certification preparation.
An investigation or test plan, design recommendations and clear next steps for testing and certification preparation.
Focused technical training around your team’s questions and experience level, with practical exercises and reference material.
Scope, deliverables and availability are agreed for each project.
