Radio & Radar Systems Design
Advanced Radar Engineering for Defence, Automotive, Industrial Applications and more
Radar technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated, enabling everything from autonomous vehicles to counter-drone systems and precision sensing in harsh environments. At Plextek, we combine 35+ years of engineering excellence with cutting-edge radar design and signal processing to create next-generation radar solutions that deliver exceptional performance where it matters most. With our deep technical knowledge spanning antennas, RF design, signal processing, and system integration, we help you develop radar systems that push the boundaries of detection, accuracy, and reliability.
From millimetre-wave radar modules that enable compact, high-resolution sensing to advanced signal processing techniques that extract meaningful intelligence from complex environments, our multidisciplinary expertise helps businesses develop radar solutions that perform reliably in the most challenging scenarios across defence, automotive, and industrial applications.

Antennas & Propagation
Antennas are the ears, eyes and mouth of communication and radar systems – ensuring everything from mobile phones to deep space probes can receive and transmit information via radio waves effectively.
Link Budget
Antennas are the ears, eyes and mouth of communication and radar systems – ensuring everything from mobile phones to deep space probes can receive and transmit information via radio waves effectively.
mmWave radar
With an antenna the size of a credit card, Plextek’s millimetre-wave or mmWave radar opens up new possibilities for accurate sensing with minimal interference on the ground, in the air, and in space.
Multi-static and Passive Radar
As it uses multiple, physically separate, transmit and receive systems, multi-static radar is useful when the coverage area needs to be maximised – or areas of individual coverage can be overlapped to improve resilience and redundancy.
RF System Design
Radio frequency (RF) electronics is at the heart of modern communications and radar technologies – from mobile phones, radios and Wi-Fi to weather monitoring and air traffic control systems.
