Company Profile

RN Electronics Ltd was established in 1986 by the directors Roger & Sue Ray.

In 1990 the Company moved to the present premises at Arnolds Farm Lane, Mountnessing. At that time the Company was primarily an RF design consultancy undertaking the design and development of a wide range of wireless products. The EMC test facility was set up within the site to ensure that products designed were compliant with all EMC and radio type approval requirements.

A sample of the design work includes:

From 1993 onwards EMC and radio testing of client products became a major role of the company, using the expertise gained in product design to assist clients to achieve compliance. 

Our range of testing soon expanded into coaxial cables for the satellite broadcast industry, after-market automotive components as witnessed by the VCA and medical devices.

The company’s strong RF focus continues today with experienced RF engineers and the third director - Paul Darragh – a former Notified Body for the R&TTE Directive and microwave test lab manager in California, USA.
