Diconex

What Diconex does

Diconex (legal entity Diconex Delta Ohm) is a French designer and manufacturer of passive RF and microwave components, founded in 1962 and headquartered in Andilly, France. The company operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees as a private, for-profit business. Its product portfolio spans the full RF signal chain, including loads, attenuators, resistors, couplers, antennas, filters, circulators, isolators, combiners, power dividers, and rack-mount multicoupler systems, organized into product lines such as Loads, Attenuators, Resistors, Couplers, Jumpers & Connectors, Antennas (HF, ATC, V-UHF, Microwave), and PMR components (Filters, Combiners & Couplers, Circulators & Isolators, Multicoupler rack).

The underlying technology centers on passive RF hardware, notably ferromagnetic circulator and isolator designs positioned as a cost-effective alternative to cavity duplexers, stripline construction for robustness in multi-transmitter setups, and high-power variants reaching up to 1850W (stripline attenuator) and 12 GHz operation (coaxial loads). Customers are organized into three verticals: Defense & Security and Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) as primary segments, and Broadcasting as a secondary segment, with applications spanning antenna systems, transmitter/receiver combining, filtering, signal isolation, and termination for radiocommunication.

Diconex operates a B2B sales motion through its own website with online catalogs and part-number search, supported by an international distributor network and presence at industry trade shows (Eurosatory 2026, EuMW 2026). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via custom quotations. In March 2026, Diconex was acquired by Radiall, a larger French RF and microwave solutions group, and now operates as part of Radiall's portfolio while retaining its brand, product range, and trade-show presence.

Products and services

• Loads (SMD, Chip, Flangeless, Stripline, Coaxial, Power Dummy) RF power termination loads in SMD, chip, flangeless, stripline, coaxial, and power dummy configurations for absorbing RF energy and terminating transmission lines in radiocommunication systems, with power ratings up to 1850W.
• Attenuators (SMD, Chip, Flangeless, Stripline, Coaxial) RF signal attenuators in chip, flangeless, stripline, and coaxial formats with power ratings from 160W to 700W, used to reduce signal strength in communication systems.
• Resistors (SMD, Chip, Flangeless, Stripline) RF resistors for impedance matching and signal termination in microwave and RF applications, in SMD/chip, flangeless, and stripline configurations.
• Couplers RF couplers for signal sampling and distribution in radiocommunication systems, including hybrid couplers covering the 698-3800 MHz frequency range.
• Jumpers & Connectors RF jumper cables and connector solutions, including NEX10 to 4.3-10 adapter cables, for interconnecting RF components and systems.
• Antennas (HF, ATC, V-UHF, Microwave, FM/DAB Panel) Professional antennas for HF, ATC (Air Traffic Control), V-UHF (including tactical), Microwave, FM Panel, DAB Panel, and DAB Double Dipole applications, for broadcast, tactical, and air traffic control deployments.
• PMR Filters RF filters for Professional Mobile Radio applications featuring high selectivity, compact design, adjustable bandwidth, and tunability for transmitter applications.
• PMR Combiners & Couplers Combiners and couplers for PMR applications enabling combination of multiple transmitters on a single antenna, featuring robust stripline construction and high directivity.
• Circulators & Isolators Ferromagnetic passive RF components. Three-port circulators control signal flow direction in circuits as a cost-effective alternative to cavity duplexers; two-port isolators protect applications from excessive signal reflection, with dual isolators available for higher isolation.
