Company
An EPFL deeptech venture, in formation
UMI Technologies grew out of the SPADE and SPADEX research projects at EPFL’s Laboratory of Wave Engineering (LWE) and Microwave and Antenna Group (MAG). Our mission: enhancing technologies through cutting-edge filtering solutions.
Roadmap
Where we’re headed
Company creation is targeted for 2027/2028, supported by EPFL.
Intellectual property
3 PCT patent applications
Filed and managed with EPFL’s Technology Transfer Office.
- Reconfigurable Multi-Band RF/Microwave Meta-Filter and Diplexer with Orthogonal Control of Order, Center Frequencies and Bandwidths, based on Locally Resonant Metamaterials
- Mechanically and Electronically Tunable Multi-Band, Fully Metallic Coaxial Stepped-Impedance Resonator Filters, Dividers and Diplexers with Multipactor-Aware High-Power Design
