                         -------------------------------------------
Gentlemen:

          We have acted as counsel for EIP Microwave, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Company's Amended and
Restated 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").  We have examined such documents,
records and matters of law as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this
opinion, and based thereon we are of the opinion that the shares of the
Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), that may
be issued and sold pursuant to the Plan (and the authorized form of Stock Option
Agreements thereunder) will be, when issued and sold in accordance with such
Plan and Agreements, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

          I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by the Company on or about
February 20, 1996 to effect registration of the shares of Common Stock issued
and sold pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        Bainbridge Group,
