Independent engineering laboratoryBologna · Italy
RF, professional wireless audio and electronic systems engineered across the complete signal chain — from architecture and hardware to measurement and production.
01 / ENGINEERING APPROACH
Logic Design Lab is built around direct engineering responsibility: system decisions are followed through circuit design, FPGA implementation, prototype bring-up, laboratory validation and the realities of repeatable manufacturing.
02 / CORE CAPABILITIES
A compact laboratory with system-level reach. The work stays connected from RF propagation to recovered data, from the noise floor to the production test bench.
RF / WIRELESS
Transmitters and receivers, frequency synthesis, low-noise front ends, switched filtering and wideband PCB antennas developed as one coherent RF architecture.
SONNET EM Wideband TX PCB antenna development
ANALOG / AUDIO
Microphone-quality analog paths, ADC/DAC integration, clocking and power architectures verified with precision audio measurement.
FPGA / DIGITAL LINK
Proprietary over-the-air framing, modulation and demodulation logic, clock recovery, encryption integration and receiver data paths.
EMBEDDED INTEGRATION
Board-level drivers, STM32 low-level debugging and detailed DSP/firmware specifications aligned with the radio protocol and hardware timing.
BRING-UP / DEBUG
What simulation predicts is challenged at the bench — early, repeatedly and with the right instrument.
INDUSTRIALIZATION
Design-for-test, automated GPIB procedures, fixtures, calibration, quality-control documentation, operator training and direct production transfer in Europe and Asia.
03 / SELECTED SYSTEMS
The most meaningful specification is a system that survives the stage, the spectrum and the production line. Selected architectures developed through Logic Design Lab have been commercialized internationally.
RF anechoic validation / production system
A professional digital wireless audio platform designed for high channel density, difficult RF environments and uncompromised microphone performance.
The RF link, wideband transmitter, switched output filtering, PCB antenna, low-noise audio path, over-the-air protocol and FPGA clock-recovery architecture were developed as a single system. DSP firmware was implemented by specialized developers from the detailed protocol and hardware requirements supplied by Logic Design Lab.
Patented digital wireless platform with 400 MHz switching bandwidth, later evolved into the RS16000 touring-rack system with dedicated PC control software and Ethernet configuration.
Digital and high-end analog wireless microphone platforms developed through a mixed Italian–German engineering collaboration.
Large digital conference architecture with central management, networked consoles and an encrypted radio interpretation system.
04 / ORIGINAL IP
Patent WO 2012/131735 covers the digital microphone radio transmission architecture developed for the DWS800 platform and its later RS16000 touring-rack evolution. The invention addressed wide tuning, RF performance and practical product implementation as one problem.
05 / THE LABORATORY
IN-HOUSE MEASUREMENT
Direct access to RF and audio instrumentation makes iterative debugging part of the design process, not an outsourced final check.
06 / WORKING METHOD
Small by design, the lab keeps technical judgment close to the hardware while integrating with specialist firmware, mechanical and manufacturing teams when the system requires it.
System architecture, RF budget, audio targets, interfaces and constraints.
Circuit behaviour, modulation, RF networks, antennas and electromagnetic structures.
Schematics, PCB, FPGA logic, drivers and the first complete signal path.
Bring-up, correlation, interference analysis, audio performance and RF resilience.
Test strategy, fixtures, procedures, training and production supervision.
07 / TECHNICAL ROOTS
Logic Design Lab was founded in 2000 by Michelangelo Carrozzo after decades of hands-on work in radio and five years as Editorial Director and electronics designer at the Italian technical magazine Nuova Elettronica.
That editorial discipline remains part of the laboratory’s engineering culture: a circuit should not only work. Its operating principles, trade-offs and failure modes should be understandable.
AES Michelangelo Carrozzo is an active member of the Audio Engineering Society.
“The point where a simulation finally agrees with the measurement bench is still the most interesting part.”

08 / CONTACT
Start with the engineering problem. The useful conversation usually begins before the schematic.
