                       REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
     We have acted as counsel to REMEC, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-3
(Registration No. 333-45595) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") on February 4, 1998, Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on
February 19, 1998 (collectively, the "Initial Registration Statement"), for the
purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 1,645,000
shares (the "Company Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $0.01 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), to be issued by the Company and 1,000,000 currently
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Selling Shareholder Shares"
and together with the Company Shares, collectively the "Shares"), that may be
sold by certain shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") of the Company
pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement and (ii) the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 contemplated to be filed with the SEC on February 25, 1998
(the "Additional Registration Statement") for the purpose of registering under
the Securities Act 345,000 shares (the "Additional Company Shares") of Common
Stock in accordance with Rule 462(b).
 
     In connection with this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all
records, documents and instruments submitted to us as originals, the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to
the originals of all records, documents and instruments submitted to us as
copies. We have based our opinion upon our review of the following records,
documents, instruments and certificates:
 
          (a) The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company certified by
     the Secretary of State of the State of California as of February 23, 1998,
     and certified to us by an officer of the Company as being complete and in
     full force and effect as of the date of this opinion;
 
          (b) The Bylaws of the Company certified to us by an officer of the
     Company as being complete and in full force and effect as of the date of
     this opinion;
 
          (c) A Certificate of the Secretary of the Company: (i) certifying that
     copies of all records of proceedings and actions of the Board of Directors
     of the Company, including any committee thereof, relating to the issuance
     of the Shares and the proposed resale of the Shares pursuant to the
     Registration Statement have been provided to us; and (ii) certifying as to
     certain factual matters;
 
          (d) The Initial Registration Statement;
 
          (e) the Additional Registration Statement; and
 
          (f) The Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") among
     the Company, the Selling Shareholders and Needham & Company, Inc., CIBC
     Oppenheimer Corp. and A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., as representatives of the
     several underwriters.
 
     This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of California, and we
disclaim any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We further
disclaim any opinion as to any other statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, order
or other promulgation of any other jurisdiction or any regional or local
governmental body or as to any related judicial or administrative opinion. Our
opinion to the effect that all issued and outstanding Shares are fully paid and
nonassessable is based on the certification obtained from the Company identified
in item (c) above to the effect that the consideration for such Shares recited
in the Board of Directors' resolutions for such Shares has been received.
 
     Our opinion expressed below also assumes that the Additional Registration
Statement is effective at the time the Additional Company Shares are sold.
<PAGE>   2
 
     Based upon the foregoing and our examination of such questions of law as we
have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, it is our
opinion that the Additional Company Shares, when issued by the Company in
accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will be legally issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
 
     This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the Additional
Registration Statement. We disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change
of law that occurs, or any facts of which we become aware, after the date of
this opinion.
 
     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Additional Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm
under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Additional Registration Statement and
any amendments thereto.
 
                                          Very truly yours,
