SPECIFICATION

BeeWave is platform for teaching and prototyping RF systems with a fast and easy Plug & Play approach that is ideal for education and research. Building complex RF circuits on PCB is a tedious task; The user has to carefully route RF tracks, prepare RF layouts and simulations, carefully calculate bias and DC power requirements for different components, design power and control/clock distribution networks... etc. Then wait for PCB fabrication and testing times only to repeat the entire process again with every design iteration. This has made RF design a slow and costly process especially for universities and research centers, startups and small to medium businesses who don't have access to their own RF PCB manufacturing and testing facilities.
BeeWave opens the door to innovation in the RF Field by allowing students, researchers and designers to build complete RF systems simply by connecting readymade modules using standard cables, accelerating the early stages of RF Circuit design and prototyping and minimizing error and uncertainty. BeeWave Modules represent common RF circuit components (Filters, Mixers...etc.) with both active and passive modules to support designing virtually every type of system.
For teachers and educators, BeeWave comes with teaching modules, experiments and lab exercises built around BeeWave to take the student through the different aspects of RF circuit design engineering and RF concepts
