R&D

The field of RF and microwaves is a dynamic research space. Elliptika is involved in various collaborative Research and Development (R&D) projects with French and European partners and in particular the Lab-STICC. These projects pave the way for the innovative products of tomorrow.

Elliptika works on innovation projects in filter topologies (band pass, band cut, low pass, high pass) and antennas. but also on the optimization of volume technologies by developing new manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing or planar technologies by working on new techniques for producing multilayer printed circuits.

Elliptika actively participates in numerous R&D projects as coordinator, partner or subcontractor in various contexts: National Research Agency (ANR), Unique Interministerial Fund (FUI), the 7th European Framework Program for Research and Development technological (FP7), DGA, CNES.

Here are some examples of participation:

• FILIPIX (FILtering for Innovative Payload with Improved flexibility)
• DENOTEIC (Development of new printed circuit technologies)
• MIDIMU-HD (Mixed Microwave and Digital Multilayer PCB for High Density Applications)
• FENDER (Tunable bandpass filters in “Substrate Integrated Waveguide” technology – SIW)
• Study of innovative adjustment solutions for the realization of IMUX superconducting filter
• Matryoshka (Tunable Miniature Filter based on a new concept of coaxial air resonator)
• IMPACT (Design and production of microwave components in plastic with full or selective metallization in 3D)

Elliptika also participates in the Diygo3 collective (do it yourself grand ouest) whose goal is to develop Open-Source solutions in the field of health.
