Werlatone®, Inc. is inviting visitors to the 2025 IEEE Microwave Theory & Techniques Society (MTT-S) International Microwave Symposium (IMS) to celebrate its 60th year in the RF/microwave industry. Exhibiting June 17-19, 2025 at booth #1327 in San Francisco’s Moscone Center, Werlatone was founded in 1965 in Brewster, N.Y., by Glenn Werlau and family. Started as part of a solution to develop a military-grade exciter for Airborne Instruments Laboratory (AIL) on the EA-6B Prowler electronic-warfare (EW) aircraft, Werlatone now stands as a pillar of innovation and reliability in the high-power, passive wideband RF and microwave components industry. With a strong focus on aerospace and defense (A&D) applications, including solutions for communications, electronic warfare (EW), and radar systems, the company has consistently pushed the boundaries of high-power, passive RF/microwave technology to meet evolving demands.

Initially working to 6 GHz, Werlatone has expanded its expertise to cover frequencies as high as 18 GHz, reflecting its commitment to advancing capabilities in step with industry needs. The introduction of wideband quadrature hybrids in miniature surface-mount technology (SMT) housings in 2010 exemplifies Werlatone’s desire to innovate compact, efficient solutions that address modern system requirements.

Holding 30 active patents and several more pending, Werlatone’s portfolio includes critical high-power, high-frequency components such as beamformers, directional couplers, 90-degree and 180-degree hybrids, power combiners/dividers, and in-line digital power meters. Designed and manufactured on-site, these products are supported by an in-house, high-power test laboratory that ensures real-world performance and reliability.

Werlatone’s success is rooted in its ability to deliver custom-engineered solutions that reduce size, weight and power (SWaP) while maintaining compatibility with the latest solid-state transistor technologies. This capability positions the company uniquely in an industry where performance and efficiency are paramount.

As Werlatone celebrates its 60th anniversary, it not only honors a legacy of technical excellence but also reaffirms its role as a vital partner in the aerospace and defense sectors, driving innovation that shapes the future of RF and microwave technology.
