Analogue Insight and Tetrivis Announce Joint Development of “Eurytion RFK1”, a UCIe based 12 nm Ka/Ku-Band RF Chiplet Transceiver

Next-generation chiplet, based on Tetrivis’ KuKa® IP, will offer fully-programmable 2 GHz bandwidth and integrated LO; first engineering samples expected early 2027

LONDON & BASINGSTOKE — May 23, 2025 — Analogue Insight Ltd. and Tetrivis Ltd. today unveiled a strategic collaboration to co-develop Eurytion RFK1, a 12 nm RF chiplet transceiver that delivers wide-band Ka/Ku operation with an integrated local oscillator and up to 2 GHz of instantaneous, fully-programmable bandwidth. Leveraging Tetrivis’ proven KuKa® transceiver IP—already sampling on a 40 nm node for customer demonstrations—the partners will translate the design to an advanced 12 nm process and package it as a UCIe-ready chiplet for next-generation satellite communications, phased-array radar, high-throughput backhaul and secure aerospace links.

As part of this initiative, Analogue Insight and Tetrivis have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop the chiplet, aligning their IP roadmaps, technology resources, and customer outreach strategies to accelerate deployment across aerospace, communications and defense sectors.

“With Eurytion RFK1 we’re merging KuKa®’s best-in-class RF performance with Analogue Insight’s chiplet micro-architecture expertise. Together we will offer system makers a plug-and-play Ka/Ku front-end that accelerates the time-to-market,” said Christian Borelli, Managing Director of Analogue Insight.

“Our 40 nm KuKa® silicon has already been shown to customers. Moving to 12 nm inside a standards-based chiplet unlocks higher integration, lower power and a clear path to volume production in 2027,” added Olujide Adeniran, Managing Director of Tetrivis.

Building on Innovate UK GBIP Success

This announcement follows the two companies’ joint participation in Innovate UK’s Global Business Innovation Programme (GBIP) “market exploitation” mission to Canada in May 2025 — highlighting the enormous potential in the startup ecosystem in the UK and how they can collaborate together for a global reach..

Eurytion RFK1 Chiplet Program Highlights

• 12 nm CMOS implementation — shrinks power and die area while boosting RF dynamic range and decreasing power consumption.
• 8 RX and 8 TX channels — enable MIMO antenna with high density.
• Wideband versatility — simultaneous coverage of both Ku and Ka bands with 0.5 – 2 GHz programmable bandwidth windows.
• Integrated LO & calibration engines — eliminates costly external synthesizers and simplifies multi-chiplet assembly.
• UCIe-compliant chiplet interface — seamless connection to digital baseband, AI acceleration or networking die on the same package.
• Roadmap — evaluation boards with the existing 40 nm KuKa® silicon available now; 12nm Eurytion RFK1 engineering samples planned for Q1 2027 with production readiness later that year.
