From use case to antenna, without the buyer learning RF first
A drone builder asks for fewer nulls. An asset tracker needs LTE and GNSS in one package on a tiny ground plane. The right part depends on bands, gain, pattern, connector, mounting, and the physics of where it sits. Rapidflare translates the use case into those constraints and answers with the datasheet open.
Why RF catalogs defeat their own buyers
The buyer speaks application, the catalog speaks RF
Bands, VSWR, radiation patterns. Most buyers cannot fill in your parametric filter, and the ones who try often fill it in wrong.
Placement changes the answer
Ground plane, enclosure, and mounting move performance, and that judgment lives with a handful of RF engineers.
Every design win starts as an enquiry someone must triage
Application questions queue behind a small team, and slow answers lose designs to whoever answered first.
What Rapidflare does on an RF catalog
Use case in, constraints out
The agent turns the application into bands, gain, connector, and mounting requirements, asking only the questions that narrow the catalog.
Reads the RF documents properly
Patterns, tables, and test conditions extracted at benchmarked accuracy, so the recommendation stands on the datasheet, not on a summary of it.
Honest about placement
Where ground plane or enclosure will move the result, the agent says so and routes the design review to your engineers with context attached.
