Software-defined RF metamaterials for next-generation electronically steerable antennas.

The Tough Tech problem we are solving

There is no affordable, compact way to electronically steer an antenna beam on small platforms. Phased arrays deliver the performance but at prohibitive cost, size, and power. Mechanical gimbals are fragile and slow. Omni antennas sacrifice range and resilience. The RF domain has lacked a material-level solution that makes electronic beam control practical at any scale.

About our solution 

Notch engineered a new class of radio frequency metamaterial that makes antenna behavior fully software-defined and electronically reconfigurable. The MAGIC Series — our first product family built on this platform — delivers 360° beam steering and phased array performance without the phased array price tag, size, or power draw. Four US patents, production hardware, and active defense contracts. The same material platform is extensible to sensing and navigation
