What Synergy Microwave Corporation does

Synergy Microwave Corporation, founded in late 1982 and incorporated in New Jersey in February 1983, designs and manufactures high-performance RF and microwave signal source and signal processing electronic components. Its core product portfolio centers on Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), Dielectric Resonator Oscillators (DROs), Phase Locked Oscillators (PLOs), SAW and crystal oscillators, and PLL frequency synthesizers, complemented by a broad passive component catalog including couplers, filters, hybrids, mixers, power dividers/combiners, transformers, frequency doublers, modulators, phase shifters, attenuators, and DC blocks. The company differentiates through proprietary technologies including the patented REL-PRO surface-mount packaging, SYNSTRIP multilayer RF/microwave component technology, Multi-Coupled Slow-Wave (MCSW) planar resonators, and ultra-low-noise oscillator topologies spanning 34+ granted US, Canadian, European, and Japanese patents.

The company operates a sales-led, channel-driven go-to-market model, selling through a US network of regional sales representatives and 25+ international distributors across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas, with direct sales supported by phone (+1 973-881-8800) and email ([email protected]). It maintains a wholly-owned European subsidiary, Synergy Microwave Europe GmbH & Co. KG in Munich. Target customer segments are military/defense (RADAR, communications, electronic warfare), commercial telecommunications (5G infrastructure, optical networks, wireless), industrial automation and test/measurement, and medical equipment requiring precise frequency control. Key reference benchmarks include phase noise performance as low as -156 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (VFCTS Series) and DRO fundamental frequencies up to 20 GHz (GSDRO 1000-8XT). The firm is ISO 9001:2015 certified and RoHS compliant, with primary leadership held by Chairman Ulrich L. Rohde and President Meta Rohde.
