Oxford, England, United Kingdom
Providing engineering design services, system design, circuit and PCB design, firmware development and idea-to-factory for all the 'tech in the box' - and also sometimes the box too... Based in the Oxford Centre for Innovation in the heart of Oxford, we can dynamically scale a team from highly skilled pool to efficiently assist with product development at every stage from first-prototype through product development to full production, meeting regulatory obligations. Recent projects include very high quality Audio DACs, ADCs, embedded DSP, Bluetooth & firmware on CSR/Qualcom CSR8670 & CSR8675 platforms, XMOS, USB Audio 2.0, DSP in FPGAs, DSP in ARM Coretex M4, PICs, DSP in Analog Devices DSPs, Audio processing and Algorithm development and implementation, real-time ultrasonic audio processing. Audio is a speciality, (though not a necessity!) Current interests include LoraWan and long range/low power radio, and we've been working toward making LoraWAN a viable network across Oxford. • Improvement of 'acoustically-challenged' devices. • Developed alogrithm and tuned for Sony Bravia so903iTV • Sound Enhancement • Algorithm development for quality improvement • Technical end of IP clearance & patent reviews • ASIC deisgn (Sony CXD-3722, Sony CXD2755), • USB 2.0 PC Audio Device - (Project Leader) • DSD Modular Audio Processing - (Project Leader & hardware) • DSD Metering - (Project Leader, hardware & dsp design). • Efficient programming of specialised DSP (e.g. Sony VME) Specialties: • High Quality Audio circuits - analog & digital; • Bass Enhancement • Project Leadership • Phase Locked Loops - analogue/digital hybrids • Filters/Equalisers • Digital Clock Recovery • Blind Noise Reduction • DSD Signal Processing • high speed signal processing for FPGAs and ASIC • C, Assembler, Schematic-capture, Spice • Mathematica, Matlab/Simulink, Maxima, Scicos • Verilog HDL & verification • Analytical listening • International Technical Representation
Some of our recent work includes having designed amplifiers (electronics and embedded software/DSP) for Warwick acoustics, including the Aperio and M1. http://www.radix2.co.uk/warwick-aperio-amplifier-headphones-getting-great-reviews/ Other products include ultrasound, DSP in FPGAs, embedded Linux, DSP algorithm implementations for various DSPs and small processors, DSP in ARM Cortex, signal processing for health monitoring, PCB design for audio circuits, Class D amplifiers and DSP for acoustic 'correction'/device mastering.
Running STEM events in schools, community centres and with Cubs&Scouts
Developing audio DSP software for licensing on embedded platforms including Qualcom, Arm and PC. Millions of units deployed.
