Design
Foundation:
Good design is founded in the good relationship with a client.
During preliminary discussions, an exciting spark of invention shows how the client’s vision can be realised. This is often simplistic, but it does point out the first steps to be taken. This spark is coaxed and nurtured through investigation, analysis, modelling and experiment, through suggestions and discussions.
Progressively, the path evolves, continuing all the way until the final set of instruction and information enables the vision to be reproduced accurately and efficiently, and to meet regulatory requirements.
Centred in the electronics and software design, RGC Technical’s remit often includes case design, optical and other interfaces, acceptance tests and much more. There is always some consideration of technological evolution and the resulting trail of obsolescence.
Analogue:
- Audio applications including test instruments, safety functions.
- Active and passive analogue filters (including phase-sensitive environments, matching to lossy transmission lines).
