About

RHOTHETA Elektronik GmbH was established on 1 August 1989 in Roding, Bavaria, and moved its headquarters to Vierkirchen near Munich in 1993; it is today based in Murnau. Its first product, the RT-1000 direction finder for ATC and VTS, was approved by Deutsche Flugsicherung in early 1992 and has been marketed by Rohde & Schwarz as the PA030 since 1994; over 150 systems are deployed worldwide.

The RT-200 CrewFinder, introduced in 1996, was adopted by DGzRS and is now in its fourth generation, with several thousand systems in use. The RT-100 Emergency Receiver followed in 1997, and the first RT-600 airborne direction finders were shipped as SAR-DF 517 around 2000; several hundred have been deployed. The RT-500-M entered full-scale production in early 2005.
