The Engineering Division of Link Microtek, which designs and manufactures a wide range of microwave products, has appointed David Gilmour to the position of microwave design engineer. As well as generally strengthening the engineering team, Gilmour brings with him particular knowledge and expertise that will extend the division’s capabilities into the area of active design – for example, where subsystems require built-in amplifiers, oscillators or mixers.

Gilmour spent the early years of his career with GEC Marconi, initially as a graduate engineer in the Radar Systems Department and subsequently as a development engineer, which involved him in the design of products as diverse as filters, couplers, VHF/UHF PCBs, D/A waveform generation circuitry and low-noise reference sources.

He then moved to Channel Master (formerly Cambridge Industries), where he was responsible for all aspects of the design and testing of a new dual low-noise block for use in home satellite TV systems.
Link Microtek’s managing director, Steve Cranstone, was upbeat about the appointment: “David’s addition is exciting for the company as it will enable us to tackle more integrated assembly work. We are looking forward to an interesting 2008 in this regard.”
