WayvGear develops solid-state RF plasma generation systems operating at ISM bands (2.45 GHz primary, 915 MHz secondary). Our technology replaces legacy magnetron-based plasma excitation with modern LDMOS solid-state amplifiers — delivering superior reliability, tunability, and efficiency for controlled environment agriculture and industrial applications.
LDMOS power amplifiers (Ampleon BLP2425M10S250P platform) delivering 100W–1kW continuous wave at 2.45 GHz ISM band. 67% efficiency, 65:1 VSWR ruggedness for industrial reliability.
Patented plasma ignition methods using nonlinear dynamical systems and bifurcation analysis. Gas-to-plasma transition modeled as saddle-node bifurcation for precise, repeatable ignition across operating conditions.
Chaotic energy distribution via multimode cavity design ensures uniform RF heating. KAM theory-guided cavity geometry produces consistent plasma output across the illumination volume.
Advanced impedance matching under chaotic load conditions using OGY control and Pyragas time-delay feedback. Maintains stable power transfer as plasma impedance shifts during operation.

RF plasma lighting produces continuous-spectrum output tunable for different crop growth phases — a fundamental advantage over LED and HPS systems that produce discrete spectral peaks. Plants evolved under continuous solar spectrum; RF plasma delivers the closest match.
WayvGear's RF plasma technology anchors Luxedeum's circular economy thesis at the Saemangeum Special Economic Zone — a 409 km² development on the west coast of South Korea (Jeollabuk-do province). The integration captures waste heat from AI data center operations to power controlled environment agriculture at industrial scale.
Luxedeum holds exclusive commercialization rights for all WayvGear technology outside of the Republic of Korea. This encompasses the full 14-patent RF plasma portfolio — covering licensing, manufacturing partnerships, distribution, and go-to-market across all territories outside Korea.
All manufacturing in Korea leveraging domestic semiconductor supply chain. Primary deployment at Saemangeum SEZ for controlled environment agriculture integrated with AI data center infrastructure. Strategic advantage: Korean-origin products, KORUS FTA eligibility, and government co-ownership of the SEZ.
Dual go-to-market: PLS-300S plasma street lights for US DOT pilot programs, utility-led smart city infrastructure, and DoD forward operating base perimeter lighting; plus PLS-series grow lighting for commercial greenhouse operators, vertical farm developers, and indoor agriculture. Korean manufacturing with KORUS FTA 0–3% duty creates cost advantage. 50,000-hour lamp life and solid-state reliability reduce total cost of ownership vs. incumbent HPS and LED systems.
Seeking European partners for plasma street lighting and CEA technology licensing. EU smart city programs and energy efficiency mandates create strong demand for continuous-spectrum street lighting with 50,000-hour life. Municipal infrastructure in Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and UK. Parallel track: greenhouse and vertical farming sectors for RF plasma grow lighting.
Seeking South African partners for controlled environment agriculture and industrial plasma processing applications. Unique opportunity: RF plasma technology addresses both food security (indoor agriculture) and industrial manufacturing needs in the region.
All 14 registered patents filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) covering RF plasma ignition methods, multimode cavity design, impedance matching systems, and ISM band applications for controlled environment agriculture.
Patent strategy emphasizes method patents grounded in physics — protecting the fundamental principles, not just specific implementations. A method patent on bifurcation analysis for plasma ignition covers every implementation using that approach.
