Academia Solutions

Power Your Research with
World-Class Measurement Antennas

Join academic and research institutions across the globe that leverage our antennas for research, teaching, and faculty-led projects. Individual serial-specific measurement data is included as standard for all university labs.

Why RF SPIN

Rooted in academia, trusted by research labs worldwide

You’re doing serious RF research – precise, repeatable, ready for peer review. Academia taught us how university labs work; today we’re a trusted RF measurement partner to leading institutions across Europe and worldwide.

Academic program

Premium data, institutional rates, research-ready stock

That’s why we’ve built a dedicated academic program around what your work actually needs – including individually measured antenna data as standard, the kind commercial customers typically pay extra for:

Pricing

Institutional rates & flexible payments

Grant-funded research has different budget cycles than corporate procurement. We offer discounted prices and flexible invoicing that fits how universities actually buy equipment – Q4 budget spending, multi-year projects, department purchases.

Data Academic exclusive

Individual antenna data at no extra cost

Every unit we manufacture is individually measured in our anechoic chamber. Academic customers get unit-specific PLUS tier data as standard, accessible anytime via our Antenna Portal – the kind of traceable, citable measurements peer review demands.

Instant product availability

Conference deadline in 2 months? PhD defense coming up? Most of our measurement antennas ship from Prague within 3–5 days. We keep inventory because we know research doesn’t wait for 8-week lead times.

Tailored to your project

Advanced solutions for academia and research

When no catalog antenna fits your research, we design and build one to your specifications. We also provide simulation models and online access to your antenna’s measurement data.

Custom design

Custom antennas for specific requirements

Researching novel frequency bands? Testing specialized polarization? Need something nobody makes off-the-shelf?

We manufacture custom antennas to exact specifications under the RF SPIN brand. Your research doesn’t have to compromise because standard equipment doesn’t exist.

Your antenna’s real performance, not catalog curves

Forget generic datasheet plots. After delivery, you get the exact measurement data linked to your antenna’s serial number, permanently accessible through the RF SPIN Antenna Portal.

Cite your unit’s actual measured performance in your papers, theses, and reports. Other tiers, up to PLUS ACCREDITED calibration with traceability, are available on request.

Design and manufacturing

Antennas and precision parts, designed and made in Prague

We design and manufacture antennas to your specification. The same engineers and CNC machines also make custom metal and plastic parts for your research projects and lab equipment.

Engineering design

From your requirements to a production-ready design

Bring your requirements, a sketch or a CAD model, whether for an antenna, an RF component or a mechanical part for your lab setup. Our engineers work out the design with you and suggest changes that make the part easier and faster to manufacture.
