Abstract :
Los Angeles, arguably the heart of the aerospace industry in the United States, has long been one of the central hubs for the U.S. microwave industry. The microwave industry in Southern California primarily focuses on providing radar and communications payloads for aerospace systems. Large defense and aerospace corporations are supported by a host of small and medium companies and are also supported by a network of excellent universities, including the University of California at Los Angeles, the California Institute of Technology and the University of Southern California.
