Products
IFE Directional Couplers
Directional couplers offer a way to take a sample of a signal reduced in amplitude, and in one single direction. This offers minimal effects to the surrounding components. Variations of 3 and 4 ports are available, to fit the application.
Multi-Couplers / Distribution Amplifiers
A multicoupler will distribute signals of specified operating frequency using amplifier gain to overcome inherent effects of power division.
Phase Comparators / I &Q Demodulators
I.F. Engineering offers a selection of phase comparators and can generate I and Q signals from an incoming signal. This is useful for obtaining signal information, so applications vary.
Power Dividers/Combiners
In addition to appropriately dividing and combining signals as specified, I.F. Engineering power dividers and combiners are leaders of performance and value. Many can be ordered as custom units.

Vector Modulators (I&Q)
Vector modulators will enable the manipulation of RF signal parameters, specifically phase and amplitude. This has applications in the RF and scientific industries.
Quadrature Hybrids
I.F. Engineering makes a number of quadrature hybrids. Many of these are lumped element based designs which can achieve very wideband performance.
The “Squeeker”
Single pane “Low E” glass testing with no leads or sharp edges to scratch coatings. Visual (LED) and audible (80 dB buzzer) verification of “low E” coated side. One hand operation possible with this pocket-sized pen style device.
iES-6
The iES-6 integrated Ethernet Switch, is a rugged 6 port layer 2/3 managed gigabit Ethernet switch with end node timing & discrete signal capabilities for demanding test instrumentation environments on airborne, shipboard or mobile ground vehicles. Programmable discrete outputs can be used to control end node devices, on or off the network, as well as feedback into the iES-6 from discrete inputs. iES-6 contains a hardware based IEEE-1588v2 time engine with (4) independent clocks which can be setup as ordinary, boundary, peer to peer transparent or end to end transparent, master only, slave only & one or two step clock.
iES-12
The iES-12 integrated Ethernet Switch, is a rugged 12 port layer 2/3 managed gigabit Ethernet switch with end node timing and discrete signal capabilities for demanding environments on airborne, shipboard & ground vehicles. Switch traffic filtering capabilities include; Port User Limit Control, VLAN/ MAC Address (Static MAC Table), Packet/Bit Rate Limiters, Port Based and Frame Type and IP Filtering (ACL, Static/Dynamic Multicast). Audio Video Bridging (AVB) capability is also supported. A programmable FPGA tied directly into the switch with two 1G interfaces provides line-rate packet processing capabilities.

TAPs
RTAG
As an extension of the MITR, RTAG shares most of the design, logic and firmware with the MITR’s TAP & Interface Module (TIM). The RTAG provides multiple TAPs for optical & copper links in many formats (Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ARINC 818 & IEEE-1394/AS5643) and is available in several configurations: A 1G Optical (Ethernet & Fibre Channel) with 8 channels of Tx/Rx TAP’s & 8 channels Tx outputs, a mixed 1G Copper & 1G Optical (Fibre Channel) with 4 channels Tx/Rx TAP’s & 4 channels Tx outputs and a 10G Optical (Ethernet) with 8 channels Tx/Rx TAP’s & 8 channel Tx outputs.
