ET Industries (Electromagnetic Technologies Industries, Inc.)

What ET Industries (Electromagnetic Technologies Industries, Inc.) does

ET Industries (Electromagnetic Technologies Industries, Inc.) is a privately held US manufacturer of RF and microwave passive and active components, headquartered and produced entirely at a single facility in Boonton, New Jersey. Founded in 1996 by John Howard, who continues to serve as President, the company operates with 101-250 employees and holds ISO 9001:2015, RoHS/REACH, and IPC certifications supporting defense and aerospace qualification requirements. Its catalog spans nine product categories, including power dividers/combiners (2-way through 128-way configurations covering 0.3-50 GHz), directional couplers (10-30 dB coupling, 0.5-67 GHz), monopulse comparators, beamforming networks, phased array antennas, hybrid couplers (stripline and lumped element), specialty antennas (direction finding, OMNI DAS), and RF active components (bi-phase, IQ, QPSK, vector modulators, and VCOs), all built on stripline and lumped-element construction techniques.

The company's technical differentiation centers on proprietary beamforming and beam-shaping networks (BFN/BSN) that drive multibeam phased array antenna systems capable of producing up to 32 vertically and 32 horizontally polarized beams within a 120-degree azimuth sector, enabling claimed frequency reuse of up to 32x for 5G and commercial wireless deployments. Twelve granted patents across USPTO, EPO, and WIPO cover fractional beamforming, polarization isolation in multi-polarized phased arrays, ultra-broadband constant-beamwidth arrays, Butler matrix 360-degree circular arrays, TM-mode evanescent waveguide filters, and wideband cavity oscillators. Recent product introductions include 64-way and 128-way thermal-vacuum-rated power dividers for satellite payload applications and a CBRS-targeted 12-beam Massive MIMO antenna system.

ET Industries generates revenue through direct hardware sales of its RF/microwave components using a quote-based pricing model, distributed via its own e-commerce-enabled website, email, phone, and mail orders, with no third-party distributors or resellers. Customers are concentrated in three primary verticals: Defense and Aerospace (radar, electronic warfare including the AIDEWS program, direction finding, missile guidance), Telecommunications (5G multibeam antenna systems, wireless infrastructure), and Space and Satellite (thermal-vacuum-qualified payloads). Named end customers in the source material are limited to Exelis (for AIDEWS defense production) and Unwired Ltd. (5.8 GHz multibeam deployment at Sutro Tower, San Francisco).
