Microminiature Tracking Device
Brief Case Study Microminiature Tracking System Microminiature Tracking System One of the more unique and challenging projects we’ve had the pleasure of completing, the engineering team developed a first-of-its-kind system for tracking wild game. The system was required to direction-find and track an animal at distances of more than a mile with a miniature transmitter […]
Rugged Antenna Designs
Brief Case Study Rugged Antenna Designs Rugged Antenna Designs A DC-area client approached Bluefin to improve an existing antenna design for reliability and manufacturability. Bluefin engineers developed an innovative technique for forming antenna arrays with cylindrical laminates. System components such as radomes, structural subframes, and mounting/cable management systems were challenging to maintain RF transparency. Bluefin […]
Radio Interoperability Package
Brief Case Study Radio Interoperability Package Radio Interoperability Package Bluefin developed a system to modularize and merge multiple digital and analog radios onto a single chassis, providing MIMO antenna switching plus central battery power. The system is fully portable and operates from a backpack.
