HISTORY
- Founded in 1965 as Larsen Electronics
- Built on a passion for innovation and excellence
- Acquired by Radiall SA in 1999, becoming Radiall/Larsen Antenna Technologies
- Acquired by Pulse, a Technitrol Company, in 2006, and became a Pulse brand
Larsen, a Pulse Brand, is your go-to source for all your amateur radio needs. Here, you’ll find Larsen’s most popular portable radio, low/mid band, VHF, UHF, and small base station antennas, along with cable assemblies, mounting brackets, replacement parts, and accessories.
Larsen is a brand of Pulse Engineering. Headquartered in San Diego, California, Pulse is a global leader in electronic component and subassembly design and manufacturing. Pulse is also a leading provider of antennas and antenna modules for mobile handsets and wireless devices. For more information on Pulse, visit www.pulseeng.com. Pulse provides powerful synergy and new opportunities for customers, suppliers, employees, and channel partners. Customers can now source a diverse range of antennas from the combined product lines. The Larsen brand benefits from Pulse’s extensive engineering resources, including test equipment and anechoic chambers.
The business is part of Technitrol’s Pulse antenna products division. Pulse designs and manufactures a variety of passive electronic components and modules, electronic connector products, antennas for wireless communication/information devices, automotive ignition coils, and other automotive components. The acquisition extends Pulse’s product line into several non-cellular wireless applications, including automotive telematics (GPS), RFID, machine-to-machine communication, and public safety, while expanding Pulse’s existing in-building network (WiFi, WiMax) antenna offerings.
Larsen offers over 2,000 antennas for a range of wireless terminal and infrastructure equipment. The business also produces cables, mounts, and accessories for antenna applications. Pulse will maintain the Larsen brand name on selected product lines while migrating the remainder to the Pulse brand. Pulse Larsen Electronics is a leading global antenna and wireless solution supplier. Pulse offers cost-effective, low-profile antennas covering 2G/3G/4G LTE, WLAN (WiFi), GPS, Vehicular, Indoor, and Outdoor, HAM radio antennas, and more.
