LTEQ Microwave Ltd
Independent Expertise in Microwaves Since 1991

1. Company Overview

LTEQ Microwave Ltd is a company specializing in the supply of RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and sub-millimeter-wave components, as well as precision optical instrumentation. Founded in 1991 under the name Phiteq, it is now based in Dublin, Ireland, and serves an international customer base in defense, telecommunications, aerospace, space, scientific instrumentation, and applied research sectors.

2. Founder’s Background

The founder, Alain Rapaport, a microwave engineer since 1981, began his career at a flight test site where he specialized in telemetry, Doppler radar, and weather radar systems. This hands-on expertise, developed over more than 40 years of practice, laid the foundation for the creation of Phiteq in 1991, which became LTEQ Microwave in 2003.

3. Positioning and Values

LTEQ Microwave takes a selective approach, based on direct relationships with a global network of suppliers primarily located in the United States, China, and Europe. This deep market knowledge enables the company to deliver fast, relevant, and technically sound solutions, even in situations of shortage or obsolescence.
