MICRONETICS WIRELESS RECEIVES PATENT FOR UNIQUE COMPONENT USED IN WIRELESS, PCS SYSTEMS
Hudson, NH - Micronetics Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq:NOIZ), a designer and manufacturer of specialized RF components and test equipment, today announced that it has been awarded U.S. Patent #5473287 for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with improved phase noise and linearity characteristics.

VCOs are widely used in wireless systems to direct RF frequencies to the appropriate channels during voice, data or video transmission.

The newly-awarded patent also covers the methodology for manufacturing the VCOs in large volumes -- without any degredation in the phase noise characteristics.

"Everyone knows you can build low phase noise VCOs in prototype," says Micronetics Wireless President Richard S. Kalin."It's much more difficult to keep the phase noise to a minimum when you're manufacturing thousands of VCOs at a time. We've developed a process to do that, and do it inexpensively."

Micronetics Wireless has already put its low phase noise technology to use in the real world, developing VCOs specifically for use in DCS-1800, GSM (the European standard for wireless communication) and PCS systems.

Customers of the low phase noise VCOS, which are sold under the MicroSource* VCO name, inlcude: Motorola, Alcatel, Steinbrecher, Nokia and Phillips.

Other principal Micronetics Wireless products include the M3500 VCO line, which was engineered at, and is exclusively licensed from, QUALCOMM, Inc., and the MicroCal test module and test equipment used in cellular and PCS base stations.
