Welcome to Leap Development

We are RF specialists and design integrated solutions for wireless communication and analyze EMC problems for applications in IoT Track-and-Trace, RFID, Mobile Communications and Life-saving.

Advanced wireless communication

Leap Development is strong in developing advanced systems for wireless connection applications. Our customers place the highest demands on reliability. That it always works safely in harsh climatic conditions. Leap Development is ISO 9001:2015 certified, our designs meet the applicable CE/EMC standards and MIL specs where necessary. We design from definition phase up to and including production. In the design we take the integration of antenna, electronics and housing into account right from the start. And also with how efficient it can be produced. 

Instrument is much better, more reliable and licker than we had hoped for.
- Marc Cornelissen, Arctic explorer

Because of my passion for antenna technology, Leap Development started in 2006. And even in my spare time I read in the 'Antennen Buch': the standard work in my profession. I can completely immerse myself in radio schematics and make applications with GSM and Satellite connections.
- Jan ten Thije, CEO Leap Development

Oh yes, we still need an antenna. We often experience this: design finished, antenna still needs to be fitted and...? EMC problems! Read on...

Services and projects

​​EMC Analysis

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) In short: "Thou shalt not be disturbed or disturbe". It can be a challenge to comply with the guidelines. We measure the EMC behaviour in our EMC chamber. Locate sources of interference, report and advise on design improvements. Read on...

Integrated design

At the start of the design we already take the antenna into account.
Especially in combination with the housing. In our advanced antenna measurement setup, we can map the operation and performance of the antenna. Read more...

Product development

From idea to product, Leap Development can convert your wishes and needs into a solid electronic design or a complete product.
Each new project is set up and executed in steps (milestones). This makes it possible, for example, to adjust steps through progressive insight. Read more...

Behind the scenes

The video on the right gives an impression of the prototyping phase. 

In our ESD-protected Area we design, measure and test applications and have an arsenal of pre-compliance measuring equipment such as a Radio Silence Chamber, EMC analysis measuring equipment and software.

Founded in 2006

One of our customers described our team as: "An enthusiastic team of engineers with the knowledge to integrate HF technology into the enclosure. Leap Development is the partner for 'the whole package'; Hardware, software and a solid enclosure".

Our Mission

Our goal is to enable fully global communication between people, resources and equipment with the aim of a better climate, sustainable production and healthier ecosystem.

Us Team

Jan ten Thije Director, HF specialist

Passion for deep sea diving and master of high frequency antenna techniques and designs. Started his career with the development of automatic satellite tracking systems. And now his goal is to enable global communication via satellite networks.

Auwerd BijkerProject Manager

"Super that I can bring growth to Leap Development. With structure, quality and knowing what we are doing, we realize the agreed projects within schedule and agreed quality."

Mart FlaxHard & software specialist

"Hardware design and optimal search in, for example, battery usage. Cracking, solving and implementing problems: look at that!"

Ronny Boerhof Embedded software specialist

"Do not haphazardly adopt a manufacturer's standard code: first critically examine it and then insert it. "

Jelle Huis in 't Veld Embedded software specialist

"The beauty of making embedded software is that you turn the hardware into a real working applied product. That's cool."

Jim Damman and Jeffrey Dijkstra ​ Minor assignment

"Minor task: researching the right components. Balancing cost, quality and battery life"

 Rik Gorissen Hardware Engineer

"Making fat electronics for defense, maritime and Aerospace. Hardware engineering is working with your hands and seeing that it works in the applications we make."
