Index of WJ Tech Notes (and originals for sale)

Watkins-Johnson Tech Notes were small pamphlets covering technical topics of interest to WJ customers as well as engineers in the government and industry. Several WJ staff have told me the company's success arose from bringing young engineers into "WJ University." WJ Tech Notes can, in one sense, be viewed as a trade/scientific journal for the specialized interests in the SIGINT, ELINT, space communications and semiconductor industries.

Tech Note March April 1978 WJ Tech Notes January February 1987

RF Cafe is now the only online source for scans of the WJ Tech Note series. Triquint used to host online scans of B/W photocopies on their web site. Qorvo purchased Triquint and took their offering of the Tech Note series off the web (Triquint had purchased WJ Communications, the last division of the venerable WJ product family).

All of the ones for sale here are color originals and many are uncirculated obtained from the estate of a long-time WJ factory depot technician. The vast majority are in very good to excellent condition. If my stock runs low and substandard copies are available, you will be contacted with a full description and a request for confirmation before shipping.

All prices in the table below are for single copies. Quantity discount of 10% for 10-24 different titles, 20% for over 25 different titles. Multiple copies of the same title will not be discounted. Limited quantities are available and many are already sold out. Shipping to a US address is via Flat Rate Priority Mail. Current rates will be used.

International shipping at current rates. Purchaser assumes all responsibilities for customs and full liability for any problems that develop in the course of overseas shipping.

All payment shall be by PayPal.
