RF Engines Limited of Newport, Isle of Wight, UK was founded in 1999. RF Engines (RFEL) develops products based on high performance, digital signal processing techniques that enable fast moving events or fleeting, hopping signals occurring in the radio spectrum to be identified and acquired in real-time for subsequent analysis.

RFEL's products have a variety of applications, including in the design of efficient wireless communication (satellite and terrestrial) networks, test and measurement instrumentation, homeland security surveillance systems, bespoke wideband receivers/transceivers and in systems to detect signals from fast moving missiles or other military threats.
