Exhibit 99.1

                                                                   PRESS RELEASE

                  RADYNE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EPS OF 17 CENTS

PHOENIX, AZ - July 24, 2006 - Radyne Corporation (Nasdaq: RADN), today reported
net sales for the second quarter of 2006 were $34.6 million compared to second
quarter 2005 net sales of $20.6 million. The increase resulted from continued
growth in both the amplifier and the satellite electronics and broadcast
segments. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company completed its merger
with Xicom Technology. Consolidated sales for that quarter included only five
weeks of Xicom sales.

Net sales for the satellite electronics and broadcast segment increased by 18%
to $18.5 million during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period
one year ago. The second quarter of 2006 was the fourth consecutive quarter of
sequential sales growth for the Company's Xicom subsidiary. Xicom sales for the
quarter were $16.1 million compared to $14.9 million for the first quarter of
2006.

Net earnings, after taxes and interest, for the second quarter of 2006 were $3.2
million, or $0.17 per diluted share compared to earnings of $2.1 million, or
$0.12 per diluted share for the same quarter of 2005. Earnings from operations
increased 54% to $4.8 million during the second quarter of 2006 from $3.1
million for the second quarter of 2005. Reported second quarter 2006 earnings
included equity compensation expense which had the effect of reducing earnings
per diluted share by $0.02 compared to the year earlier period due to the
adoption of new accounting standards.

Bookings during the quarter were $34.1 million, a 53% increase over bookings of
$22.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. At the end of the second quarter of
2006, Radyne's consolidated backlog was $33.2 million compared to $29.8 million
at the end of the second quarter of 2005.

For the first six months of 2006, sales rose 92% to $65.8 million compared to
$34.3 million for the first six months of 2005. Earnings per diluted share for
the first six months of 2006 grew to $0.30 from $0.20 for the same period in
2005. Consolidated sales for the six months of 2005 included only five weeks of
Xicom sales.

"So far, 2006 has been a very good year for Radyne," commented Bob Fitting, CEO.
"With Xicom's growth and the current sales outlook for our satellite and
broadcast businesses, we expect to show significant year over year increases in
sales and profits."

For the first six months of 2006, Radyne's cash balance increased 47% to $24.9
million compared to $16.9 million at the beginning of 2006. Consolidated
Accounts Receivable increased to $22.3 million compared to $20.3 million at the
beginning of 2006. Consolidated Inventory was $21.7 million compared to $18.1
million at the beginning of 2006.

Radyne will be holding a conference call on Monday, July 24, 2006 at 4:30 p.m.
EDT to discuss its second quarter 2006 financial results and operational
highlights. The call is open to the public. The domestic dial in number is
