RF IC's or Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits are specific semiconductor components commonly used in wireless devices and mobile phones. Here at RS, we offer a number of different RF IC technology types such as receivers, transmitters, transceivers and switch circuits.

RF IC Types

RF Receivers - Receivers are components that are designed to receive radio frequency signals from other devices.
RF Transmitters - Transmitters are used in wireless devices to transmit the radio frequency signals between two devices.
RF Transceivers - Transceivers are components similar to receivers in the way they are designed to receive radio frequency signals but they can also transmit these signals too just like transmitters.
RF Switch Circuits - A switch circuit is a component that routes high-frequency signals through transmission paths, they also support the integration of multiple radios that use a signal antenna.

RF IC Applications

RF ICs can be used in a range of different wireless devices and different applications here are just a few:

Communications,
Remote Controls,
Car Alarm Systems,
Automation,
Security and CCTV,
Keyless Entry Systems.
