PJ Research is an independent provider of high quality research and development, performance assessment, design and test & evaluation of RF and microwave systems including advanced antennas, radars, RF electronic countermeasure systems, RF communications applications and EMC. It also provides platform RF design and consultancy services to optimise system performance whilst minimising mutual interference between co-located systems. The RF frequency range of interest is from HF to microwave.

Our principal RF engineer, Dr Phil Baldwin can provide the full range of requirements analysis, technical design, build, test and evaluation and management support functions. He is a chartered engineer, chartered physicist and a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and has some 30 years of experience working in UK government research establishments, University, and various industrial sectors. He has worked as an independent consultant since 1996.

Phil has recently focussed his research on developing his latest innovation, having attracted government research funding and collaboration with others to do this, into a very successful practical demonstration. This work involves providing (for the first time) broad-band, dual-polarised e-scan phased array antennas with an extremely high purity of polarisation on transmit.

We are based near Exeter in Devon UK, and provide services across the UK and Europe.

Chartered Engineers and Valuers ( Plant Machinery, Movable/ Nonmovable assets)

Details

Services Provided:

In many countries, professional engineers are called Chartered Engineers. The details of registration vary from country to country. In The Republic of India, a chartered engineer is a corporate member of the Institution of Engineers (India).

Chartered Engineers are usually degree-qualified and have spent at least five years in professional practice.

We provide the chartered engineering services in new projects like valuation of plant & machinery, Energy Audit etc..

As a qualified Professionals and Independent Chartered Engineers, we have specialised in the field of issuing certificates as required by companies in the Export - Import and License work.

Some of the applications include certification of advance license Application, EPCG Licence Application, Duty Drawback Statements, Consumption Certificates, Utilisation Certificates, Wastage Certificates, Manufacturing Process Certificates, Certificates required by Customs, Banks and Financial Institutions.

The Technical Report is a common written form us, which communicate our findings for a given project. Each Technical Report should have a focused topic that is developed logically along some clearly identified perspective.

The major components of a Technical Report are title, author information, informative abstract, body, acknowledgments, references, keywords, and appendices. Typically, the body is organized into four sections: motivation, methods, results, and discussion. This document offers advice and specifications for projects.

Mihir Enterprises is the service provider of Consultancy and Technical Report for future development work of a Project. This service includes project reports, viability reports etc.

We have done various studies like Viability Study Report, Depreciation Study Report and Techno-economical Study Report etc.

While making a technical report we consider different parameters like Construction Policies, Government Policies and Support, Financial Structure, Infrastructure Management, Time Management, Manpower Management and all other related parametric quantity
