SHF Communication Technologies AG

Since 1983, SHF Communication Technologies AG has developed, manufactured, and sold components and measurement equipment for high-speed optical communication.

Currently, SHF employs 57 people at its headquarter in Berlin (Germany) and in its subsidiary in Tokyo (SHF Japan Corporation).

SHF’s components and instruments have a worldwide reputation in the telecommunications and network equipment industries. The products are mainly used in R&D centers to optimize the customer’s products or services in order to increase the data transmission capacity. Thus, many well-known research facilities form the quality- and speed-demanding customer base of SHF.

The product portfolio of SHF meets the growing demand for ultra-high-speed optoelectronic equipment and components by offering:

• Bit Error Rate Testers (BERT),
• Synthesized Signal Generators (Synthesizers),
• Arbitrary Waveform Generation (AWG),
• Broadband RF & Microwave Amplifiers
• Multiplexers (MUX) and Demultiplexers (DEMUX),
• Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC),
• Passive sub-millimeter wave components (e.g. bias tees, DC-Blocks) and
• Coaxial RF cables and adapters from our Japanese partners KMCO and Totoku.

SHF has a special know-how in high-frequency electronics and is recognized as one of the worldwide leading suppliers of components and measurement instruments for this industry.
The development and production of bit pattern generators and error analyzers date back to 1996. Since then, SHF has always been the first company to introduce the next high-speed category (e.g., 20 Gbps in 1996, 40 Gbps in 1998, and 60 Gbps in 2014).
