RELATED SYMBOLS: (NOIZ)

HUDSON, N.H., Jan 6, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Micronetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:NOIZ)
announced that its Test Solutions Group has entered into an OEM agreement with
Yokogawa Corporation of America to sell Yokogawa's wideband demodulator and
vector signal generator test equipment.

This agreement is designed to strengthen the market position of Micronetics
WAVE3G multipath fading simulator product by providing complimentary RF
conversion devices.

Under terms of this agreement, Micronetics is authorized to sell Yokogowa's
VN6000 Wideband Demodulator and VG6000/VG3000 Vector Signal Generators. These
instruments cover frequency ranges up to 6.2GHz. In combination with Micronetics
Wave 3G Multipath Fader / AWGN generator, these instruments can test for
multipath fading to global industry standards, such as CDMA2000, WCDMA, GSM,
UMTS, GPRS.

Charles Freihofer, Director of Test Solutions, says, "Our handset and
base-station customers are demanding superior RF performance from their
Multipath / AWGN test sets. Our strategy has been to partner where possible with
leading edge companies to deliver excellent, reliable and cost-effective
solutions. The combination of the Yokogawa instruments with the Micronetics
WAVE3G Multipath Fader / AWGN generator exceeds our customers toughest
specifications. This solution also supports our strategy of providing our
customers with modular solutions that permit them to build just the right test
set for their application."

Brad Byrum, General Manager of Yokogawa Corporation of America, stated, "Today
most engineers are looking for complete solutions, not individual pieces of
equipment to integrate into a solution themselves. Micronetics has answered
their call and created an integrated solution that will allow engineers to
quickly develop their carrier-to-noise and multipath fading testing programs
using proven, reliable hardware. I think Micronetics has hit a home-run with
this solution."
