Each year, we create hundreds of new models at the request of our customers. These innovations range from the expanded performance of existing items to the inception of entirely new product lines. It is this constant state of research and development that allows JFW to provide customized RF components and systems without the outrageous prices usually associated with these services. Some of our recent progresses include:

  • New 3 GHz, 0-127 dB Programmable Attenuator
  • Complete Line of 20-4300 MHz Solid-State Switches
  • Solid-State, 100 Watt "Hot Switch"

One line of products that has seen tremendous growth in recent years is our family of automated RF test systems. These systems include a multitude of functionality, but are often based upon a multiple-path attenuation system or a switch matrix. We expect the need for such systems to continue to grow in the years to come.
