About Curl-E
Our Mission
At Curl-E, our mission is to move the satellite communications industry forward to a more efficient, cheaper and scalable future.
Our Technology
Curl-E has developed a patented resonator architecture that enables compact, high performance RF components for next-generation satellite communications.
Our Team
Our team is made up of experienced RF scientists and researchers, with decades of experience in the industry and academia.
A New Approach
Satellite communications are moving to higher frequencies, but current RF hardware forces trade-offs between size, performance and cost.
At Curl-E, we have created a fundamentally new approach designed to combat these trade-offs.
Existing solutions
Bulky, lossy or expensive
The Curl-E approach
A compact, scalable and cheaper future
Technology
Filtennas
Our filtenna technology combines filtering and antenna functionality into a single compact device, reducing size, insertion losses and overall system complexity while maintaining high RF performance.
Filtenna Arrays
Our technology is not just a single device, but rather a platform technology that can be applied to various other devices. These include: antenna arrays, couplers and more.
Manufacturing Process
-
Step 1
Development
Photoresist is applied to the wafer and spun until uniform. Desired features to be developed utilising greyscale masks.
-
Step 2
Metalisation
The wafer is entirely metalised with an exceptionally thin yet uniform layer of silver.
-
Step 3
Assembly
The wafer is diced into individual devices, which are then assembled into the finished component.
