WJ Communications Expands Integrated Variable Gain Amplifier Family
Thursday August 28, 8:31 am ET
The VG024`s High Gain and Constant IP3 are Ideal for Transmitter & Receiver Chains
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2003--WJ Communications, Inc (Nasdaq:WJCI - News), a leading designer and supplier of high-performance RF semiconductors and multi-chip modules (MCM), today expanded its line of variable gain amplifiers with the wide-band high dynamic range VG024. The highly integrated VG024 provides a combination of exceptional dynamic range and high linearity not currently available in the marketplace. Its unique circuit design makes it ideal for temperature compensation and AGC applications over the 50-2200 MHz range.
"WJ`s new VGA product family addresses the need for higher performance variable gain amplifiers required for newer wireless protocols such as W-CDMA and GSM Edge," said Javed Patel, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing of WJ Communications. "Our line of VGA`s include IF and RF functions for a broad range of applications. Their tight integration, high linearity, low-cost and variable gain characteristics are major advancements above today`s primarily discrete solutions."
Technology Overview
The VG024 is a broadband amplifier with a variable attenuator that provides constant +37 dBm OIP3 and +21 dBm P1dB performance over the entire attenuation range. As a temperature compensation circuit the VG024 offers completely independent gain and slope (gain over temperature) adjustments using a simple application circuit. It is also ideal for AGC applications and can be adjusted to operate anywhere in the 50-2200 MHz range by selection of off-chip components. The VG024 is ideal for transmitter and receiver chain applications that process complex digital modulation formats such as CDMA and EDGE. Superior thermal design allows the product to have a MTBF rating of 100 years at a mounting case temperature of +85 degrees C. The VG024 is packaged in a SOIC-8 surface-mount package.

WJ Communications Announces First RFID Production Order
Thursday October 16, 8:30 am ET
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2003--WJ Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:WJCI - News), a leading designer and supplier of RF semiconductors and multi-chip modules, today announced that it has received its first production order for its compact RFID reader/programmer engine (SX2000) from Alien Technology Corporation (Alien) -- a leading provider of reliable, high-volume, low-cost, Electronic Product Code (EPC) compliant Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) products. SX2000 is an Auto-ID Center Class 1 EPC compliant reader operating in the 900MHz ISM band. Its full performance, low-cost and small size -- roughly the size of a PCMCIA card -- enables the realization of a wide range of portable and hand-held reader/programmer solutions including integrated RFID/barcode readers. Deliveries against this order are scheduled to commence in the current quarter.
RFID technology allows companies to efficiently locate, identify and monitor assets up and down the supply chain remotely, thereby dramatically reducing inventory costs and improving cash flow. RFID is formally coming of age, and prime movers like Wal-Mart, Gillette and the United States Department of Defense (DoD) are driving market adoption with requirements for RFID-enabled shipments. Earlier this year Wal-Mart formalized its intention that its top 100 suppliers put EPC tags on pallets and cases by Jan. 1, 2005, and Gillette has placed a 500 million piece order for Alien RFID tags. The DoD has been using RFID for all freight containers to Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf, and recently announced its requirement that all suppliers to the U.S. military use RFID. The DoD is expected to issue a final RFID policy by June 2004.
"We are starting to ramp up for production of the 915MHz SX2000 reader in support of this initial order for delivery during the fourth quarter," said James Mravca, senior vice president, strategic marketing and business development for WJ Communications. "This first order is a significant milestone and our future efforts will focus on lower cost, higher integration, flexibility and performance.

RFID technology allows companies to efficiently locate, identify and monitor assets up and down the supply chain remotely thereby dramatically reducing inventory costs and improving cash flow. Companies such as Tesco, Marks and Spencer, Wal-Mart, Gillette and the United States Department of Defense (DoD) have stated their requirements for RFID-enabled shipments. Earlier this year Wal-Mart formalized its intention that its top 100 suppliers put EPC tags on pallets and cases by 1 January 2005.

Second Order for 915MHz-Band SX2000s and First Order for 2.4GHz-Band SX2030s
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2003--WJ Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:WJCI - News), a leading designer and supplier of RF semiconductors and multi-chip modules, today announced that it has received two new production orders for its RFID reader engine products. One order is for the SX2000 reader engine which is now in full production. The second new order is the first production order for the SX2030, which operates in the worldwide 2.4GHz band. Each model in WJ`s family of compact RFID reader/programmer engines reads and programs EPC Class 1 RFID tags. Deliveries against these orders are scheduled to commence in first quarter, 2004.
These high-performance, low-cost and small size reader engines -- about the size of a PCMCIA card -- include the RF and electronic circuitry required to read and program EPC Class 1 RFID tags. They are designed for integration with an external power supply and antenna to create complete reader units and are expected to enable a wide range of reader/programmer applications, including handheld, printer, material handling, and industrial products.
"The rapid development and smooth transition of the SX2000 into production has paved the way for these additional production orders," said James Mravca, senior vice president, Strategic Marketing and Business Development for WJ Communications. "These additional orders validate the RFID Reader Family`s value proposition and its applicability in the RFID market. The new order for SX2030s demonstrates the scalability of the core reader design, and we are pleased to be expanding into additional markets worldwide. Our development efforts continue to focus on lower cost, higher integration, flexibility and performance; and we are proceeding to develop new products for both international and domestic markets."
