01Focused on passive RF / EM design

Four challenge categories.
Built for inverse design — not generic freelance.

Antennas
Patch, PIFA, reflectarray, mmWave arrays. Target bandwidth, gain, size, pattern, efficiency.
Filters
Bandpass, low-pass, high-pass, notch. Target S-parameter masks with strict rejection.
Matching networks
Distributed, lumped, or hybrid. Target impedance, bandwidth, efficiency, power handling.
RF passives
Couplers, resonators, transitions, SIW structures, microwave/mmWave passive components.

04 — WHY GAINRF

The forward problem is easy.
The inverse problem is hard.

In RF/EM design, simulating a geometry to predict performance is straightforward. Starting from a target and finding the right geometry requires expert intuition, repeated simulation, optimization, and many failed attempts. GainRF turns that process into structured competition.

Faster design exploration
Parallel exploration of candidate topologies.
Global expertise
Reach RF engineers, professors, and AI researchers.
Pay-for-result model
Awards only the validated winning design.
Built for RF/EM
S-parameter masks, scoring, and validation — native.
