WJ History
WJ Communications is the commercial products
descendent of Watkins-Johnson Company. Watkins-
Johnson Company, founded in 1957,designed
and manufactured quality microwave components,
subsystems, and systems for the defense marketplace
for four decades. WJ’s telecommunications products
began in 1995 as an intrapreneurial activity, with the
goal of combining WJ’s technical expertise coupled
with cost-effective design and advanced packaging
technologies commensurate with the commercial
marketplace. Sales grew rapidly due to the company’s
well-founded reputation for quality and performance.
A key decision was made in 1997 to refocus the
company on commercial telecommunications, and
over the next three years other activities in defense
electronics, intelligence, and semiconductor capital
equipment were sold. A recapitalization merger
with Fox-Paine was completed on January 31, 2000.
Today,WJ Communications, Inc. is a leading pure-play
semiconductor company focusing on the design and
manufacture of high-quality, innovative devices and
multi-chip modules (MCM’s) for telecommunications
systems worldwide, including COTS devices for the
defense market. WJ’s high reliability amplifier, mixer,
RFIC and MCM products are used to transmit and
receive signals that enable current and next generation
digital wireless and wireline services.
