Werlatone Marks 60 Years at the Forefront of RF and Microwave Innovation
Celebrating six decades since its founding in 1965 by Glenn Werlau, Werlatone stands as a pillar of innovation and reliability in the high-power, passive wideband RF and microwave components industry. With a focus on aerospace and defense applications—including Communications, Electronic Warfare, and Radar Systems—the company has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology to meet evolving demands.
From its early days supporting frequencies up to 6 GHz, Werlatone has expanded its expertise to cover frequencies as high as 18 GHz, reflecting its commitment to advancing capabilities in step with industry needs. The introduction of wideband quadrature hybrids in miniature surface-mount technology housings in 2010 exemplifies Werlatone’s drive to innovate compact, efficient solutions that address modern system requirements.
Holding 30 active patents and several more pending, Werlatone’s portfolio includes critical components such as beamformers, directional couplers, 90° and 180° hybrids, power combiners/dividers, and in-line power meters. These products are designed and manufactured on-site, supported by an in-house high-power test laboratory that ensures real-world performance and reliability.
Werlatone’s success is rooted in its ability to deliver custom-engineered solutions that reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP) while maintaining compatibility with the latest solid-state transistor technologies. This capability positions the company uniquely in an industry where performance and efficiency are paramount.
As Werlatone celebrates its 60th anniversary, it not only honors a legacy of technical excellence but also reaffirms its role as a vital partner in the aerospace and defense sectors, driving innovation that shapes the future of RF and microwave technology.
