RF & Microwave Systems
RF and microwave subsystems for frequency conversion, amplification, filtering and signal generation across communication and sensing applications.
Overview
RTS develops selected RF and microwave subsystems and components for aerospace and defence electronics, with capabilities centred on frequency conversion, amplification, filtering, signal generation and RF signal switching. The division supports specialised RF requirements through application-specific design and engineering.
Current capability includes RF up- and down-conversion, low-noise and power amplification, bidirectional amplification, frequency synthesis, RF signal generation, signal switching and multiple filtering technologies. These capabilities are complemented by RTS's wider expertise in embedded electronics, high-frequency PCB design and mechanical packaging.
