Make at Elvespeed
Test your RF ideas on the Elve Process
Go from RF simulation to a tested mmWave vacuum device in 30 days. Elve handles manufacturing, verification, and integration.
RF DESIGN
The Elve process produces high quality RF structures with low insertion loss verified up to 250 GHz using state-of the art manufacturing.
ELECTRON BEAM
The Elve process includes high quality vacuum, a laminar electron beam, and a four stage depressed collector.
DATA
Cold and hot test measurment data and a report documenting each step are provided.
THREE PHASE DEVELOPEMENT
Phase 1 - MAKE
Receive the Elve Process Design Kit
Generate and send RF structure design to Elve
Elve makes RF structures
Elve measures and provides RF structure test data
Phase 2 - TEST
Elve integrates the RF structure into a vacuum device built on the medium platform (design details provided in the Elve Process Design Kit)
Elve Processes and activates to ultra-high vacuum resulting in a vacuum electronic device
Elve characterizes the device, including relevant gain, transfer characteristics, frequencies, and power levels
Phase 3 - INTEGRATE
Elve integrates and packages the device with an Electronic Power Conditioner (EPC) which operate at a standard bus voltage with a simple control interface
The packaged device is then available for delivery
Advantages
Rapidly evaluate RF structure design concepts
Validate your design in fully functioning vacuum devices
Deploy fully a integrated system per your specific design needs
