About RF-Frontend
RF-Frontend GmbH is a specialized engineering company for high-frequency and microwave technology based in Kamp-Lintfort. The company supports customers throughout the entire development process – from concept development through prototyping and extensive testing to production and delivery of finished products. The service portfolio includes RF circuit design from DC to 110 GHz (amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, transceiver chains), antenna engineering (phased arrays, horn and patch arrays, radar antennas), electromagnetic simulation, and system integration. In its own manufacturing facility, multilayer PCB prototypes with gold finish and flexible materials are produced; an SMD assembly line, vapor phase and special soldering, as well as chip-on-board technologies (die bonding, wire bonding, glob top) are available. The offering is rounded out by testing and validation with measurement equipment up to 110 GHz as well as the setup and programming of test stations. Customer applications include telecommunications (5G/LTE), drones and unmanned systems, machine tool and lifting technology, plasma technology, and smart city projects.
