About Us

Real-Time Radio Systems Ltd was founded in 2015 by Dr Jack Hickish, then a radio-astronomy researcher at the University of Cambridge and University of California, Berkeley. As an academic, Jack has worked on digital instrumentation for a variety of radio telescopes, including the Arcminute MicroKelvin Imager (AMI) and Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array, and has led the development of open-source signal processing tools by the Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER).

Real-Time Radio Systems Ltd offers digital design services for heterogeneous, real-time signal processing systems based around FPGA, GPU, and CPU processing platforms. Our work predominantly focusses on radio-astronomy and radar applications.

We are happy to take on projects of all scales, from the design of isolated signal processing software modules, to complete multi-terabit/s processing systems.
