Abstract :
The history of the microwave industry has been one of feast or famine. Not too many years ago most of us relied primarily on the Depart-ment of Defense for our well-being. In more recent years, however, with the growth in non-DOD microwave communications and radar, and commercial and industrial applications, our reliance on the DOD has diminished. We have also seen a growing interest in non-U.S. markets. The object of this paper is to discuss and critique the Export Performance of U.S. Microwave Companies.
