Innovation in RF and Microwave

BHE is a 100% Hungarian-owned company founded in 1991. It is a major designer of numerous RF and microwave products, applications for mobile operators, government, defence, space and aeronautics organizations worldwide.

The company employs more than 120 people, and nearly 80% of its revenues come from exports. Its solutions are used on four continents, in over 30 countries. Key market segments are the mobile telecommunications, defence and aerospace industrial areas and all RF & Microwave fields where special needs are identified. Apart from this, the company deals with basic research and maintains a decade-long collaboration with universities and academic institutions. Today the company offers more than 400 products and the product portfolio has been updated by approximately 50 new products every year.

Powered by its technology competence, BHE offers complex civil safety solutions from counter-UAV systems to many areas of modern telecommunications, e.g. development of satellite communication products including advanced digital modulators, TT&C and high data rate onboard transmitters, high power efficiency SSPAs, phase coherent up & down converters, and IFF transmitters.

To mobile service providers as well as to critical communication operators TETRA, GSM, DCS, UMTS (W-CDMA), LTE, FM, VHF and DAB solutions are offered. These units support single, multiple bands and DAS architectures as well. The full TETRA offering covers a complete spectrum of active and passive products such as repeaters, splitters, combiners, and couplers. The repeater portfolio comprises pico, mini and macro units including optical and digital options – all of them based on years of experience gained from design and manufacturing repeaters for several nationwide networks. Several hundreds of facilities and buildings with large numbers of visitors and intensive traffic like international airports, stadiums, road traffic tunnels and main subway lines in major European cities (e.g. Budapest, Berlin, Brussels, Rotterdam) as well as key event sites like F1 circuits, are equipped with critical communication solutions of BHE.

For the aerospace industry, advanced RF & microwave subsystems, payloads and instruments from VHF up to Ka-band applications are being developed and manufactured by BHE for over 25 years. The scope of solutions covers Spaceborne, Airborne and Ground segment applications, too. Main references are the US-launched VesselSat-1, VesselSat-2 satellites and the International Space Station.
