RF Engines Limited of Newport, Isle of Wight, UK was founded in 1999. RF Engines develops products based on high performance, state-of-the-art, digital signal processing techniques that enable fast moving events or fleeting, hopping signals occurring in the radio spectrum to be identified and acquired in real-time for subsequent analysis. These IP cores are then incorporated into an increasing number of RFEL’s own products as well as their customers’ products by implementing them into FPGAs mainly from Xilinx and Altera.
RFEL’s products have a variety of applications, including in the design of efficient wireless communication networks, test and measurement instrumentation, homeland security surveillance systems, bespoke wideband receivers/transceivers and in systems to detect signals from fast moving missiles or other military threats.
Privately owned, it has been profitable for several years and has been steadily growing year on year both in revenue terms and head count, employing over 20 highly qualified designers. RFEL's customers are mainly 'Tier 1' companies in each of its main markets, including Thales, Qinetiq, Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy, UK Ministry of Defence, Rheinmetall, CEA, Agilent and LIG Nex1, as well as many other major international clients.
