Activity and Skills

Since 1974, SENER TAFS, S.A. (a SENER AEROESPACIAL S.A. company) specializes its activity in the design, industrialization, qualification, manufacturing, tests, commercializing antennas and RF passive components, based on the use of coaxial or waveguide techniques, for several applications on the science, defence, air traffic control and broadcasting business areas, providing customized and turkey solutions and services for customers an all five continents.

This experience has been strongly developed over the years leading us to today’s market leadership position, with capabilities to manage each project from conceptual design, through manufacturing to on-site installation and commissioning.

Principal products and solutions: complex RF systems for industrial and scientific applications (as particle accelerators or fusion laboratories) customized to the requested environment, RF components and accessories, complete radiating system (SSR and PSR antennas and pedestals) for primary and secondary air traffic control radars, complex custom-made broadcasting antenna systems, filters and channel combiners for broadcasting purposes and turnkey broadcasting system solutions. Bases its high-value-added competitive position on the control of key technology in the markets in which it operates, allowing it to meet the needs of its customers in an innovative, flexible, and cost-efficient way.

Within the scientific business area, SENER TAFS designs and produces equipment for large scientific facilities, such as particle accelerators or fusion laboratories, offering a complete high-technology radiofrequency and electrical product portfolio covering Rf transmission lines (coaxial or waveguide), and their accessories (elbows, directional couplers, adapters...) and RF passive components, (cavities, filters, jumper cables, patch panels, RF power couplers for superconducting cavities, combiners for low power SSA....), . All products are qualified to work under both standard environment, vacuum conditions and cryogenic or radioactive environments. SENER TAFS's organizational structure, 100% focused on engineering, is optimal for adapting the final characteristics to the specific needs of each project, allowing a rapid and reliable response to the specific requirements of each client.
