Metamaterial based RF frond end solution
At MinWavewe provide custom miniaturized and high performance microwave and millimeter-wave solutions, using a cutting edge technology based on metamaterials.
Additive manufacturing
At MinWave we utilize additive manufacturing as an effective tool for complex geometry fabrication method at address space industry needs.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
MinWave designs and manufactures RF front-end (RFFE) solutions based on novel metamaterials. The fundamental advantage of our technology is the utilization of ε or μ<0 metamaterials in a very small length (typically <λ/2) to realize devices. Negative index materials provide sharp selectivity and high rejection levels; and small length decreases loss and increases the overall quality of the filters in an unprecedented fashion.

Lower volume and mass
We provide significantly compact and lightweight RFFE components and assemblies based on negative index metamaterials
Higher performance
We employ patented cutting-edge metamaterial technology for the development of high-performance RFFE solutions.
Monolithic assembly
We utilize additive manufacturing as an enabling method for providing low-cost monolithic RFFE components with complex geometries.
APPLICATIONS
Ready for space and terrestrial applications
Based on our innovative technique, we are developing a wide range of RFFE components, e.g., microwave filters, multiplexers, etc., to address the needs of two main markets, namely Space communications (SpaceCom) and Telecommunications (TeleCom). Our products bring significant cost savings and the highest quality in the industry for different use cases in these industries. Cost savings are generated either through a reduction in weight and size, a reduction in the noise level and increased quality, or a decrease in energy consumption

SpaceCom
The SpaceCom industry in two branches of satellites and SatCom terminals demands reduced size and weight components to lower the total mission cost.

TeleCom
With the advent of 5G and beyond, the infrastructure and user devices in TeleCom industry need higher throughput, which translates into cost savings.
