Core offering

JQL Electronics manufactures RF and microwave passive components for wireless infrastructure, public safety, and satellite communication systems. The product lineup spans cavity and ceramic filters (bandpass, high/low pass, notch, duplexers, triplexers, quadplexers, multiplexers, DTMA, PIM testing, switch filter banks), RF circulators and isolators (coaxial, drop-in, surface mount, microstrip, waveguide), hybrid combiners, low PIM terminations/attenuators, power splitters, DC blocks/bias tees, waveguide adapters, directional couplers/tappers, and CVD diamond terminations. Products support LTE, GSM, CDMA, UMTS, PCS, AWS, and satellite bands across DC to 40 GHz, with vertically integrated manufacturing in the USA and China.

Product overview

JQL Technologies is a manufacturer of RF and microwave devices offering an extensive portfolio of microwave components for wireless, public safety, satellite, and DAS (Distributed Antenna System) applications. The product lineup centers around three core filter technologies: Cavity Filters (including bandpass, high-pass, low-pass, notch, duplexer/diplexer, triplexer, quadplexer, multiplexer, DTMA, PIM testing filters, and switch filter banks), Ceramic Filters (bandpass, duplexer/diplexer, triplexer, quadplexer, and multiplexer in SMT packages), and Ferrite-based Components (RF circulators and isolators available in coaxial, drop-in, surface mount, microstrip, and waveguide configurations). Supporting products include hybrid combiners/matrices, low PIM terminations and attenuators, power splitters (reactive and Wilkinson), DC blocks/bias tees, waveguide adapters, and directional couplers/tappers. The company operates design centers and manufacturing facilities in both the USA and China, with vertical integration including in-house ferrite production. Products support multiple wireless standards including LTE, GSM, CDMA, UMTS, PCS, AWS, and various satellite communication bands across frequency ranges from DC to 40 GHz.
