OVERVIEW

COM-TECH designs, develops and manufactures RF passive components for the Industrial, Scientific and Medical business areas for the following applications:

  • Particle Accelerators (Sychrotrones, LINACs…)
  • IoT (Internet of Things)
  • Microwave Communications (Wireless camera links, microwave distribution…)
  • Transport Networks (Service communications, tunnel signal distribution…)
  • ATC (Radio communication for Air Traffic Control)
  • PMR (Professional Mobile Radio)
  • Weather and Hydrological Monitoring

COM-TECH Multicoupler System is a proprietary and complete solution, offering practical and efficient components to drive and combine several Power Amplifiers, providing the maximum possible overall efficiency of the Transmitter.
FastLine, the COM-TECH proprietary Rigid Line system for indoor applications, comprehends a complete range of connections and components from 7/8’’ to 6+1/8’’.
The ISM family is typically categorized with reference to Component type (Hybrid Couplers, Directional Couplers…), and by Component Series (HF Series, HC Series…)
