Please contact Lynn Nickless, Investor Relations, Andrew Corporation, 10500 West 153rd Street, Orland Park, Illinois 60462, or lynn.nickless@andrew.com by e-mail.

What am I voting on?

The Andrew Board of Directors is soliciting your vote for:

•

the election of ten Directors;

•

the proposal to amend the Andrew Corporation Management Incentive Program to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance to 8,000,000;

•

the proposal to amend the Andrew Corporation Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance to 800,000; and

•

the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors.

Who is entitled to vote?

Stockholders at the close of business on December 13, 2002 (the record date) are entitled to vote. On that date, there were 98,319,305 shares of Andrew common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How many votes do I have?

Each share of Andrew common stock that you own entitles you to one vote.

How do I vote?

All stockholders may vote by mail. All stockholders who hold their shares in their own name and most stockholders who hold shares through a bank or broker also may vote by telephone or over the Internet. If one of these options is available to you, we strongly encourage you to use it because it is faster and less costly. To vote by mail, please sign, date and mail your proxy in the postage paid envelope provided.

If you attend the Annual Meeting in person, you may request a ballot when you arrive. If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you need to bring an account statement or letter from the nominee indicating that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on December 13, 2002, the record date for voting.

What if I return my proxy but do not mark it to show how I am voting?

If you sign, date and return your proxy card, but do not indicate how you want to vote, you give authority to Floyd L. English and James F. Petelle to cast your vote on the items discussed in these proxy materials. In such a case, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the director nominees, the amendment of our Management Incentive Program, the amendment of our Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and the ratification of our public auditors.

What if other items come up at the Annual Meeting and I am not there to vote?

When you return a signed and dated proxy card or provide your voting instructions by telephone or Internet, you give Dr. English and Mr. Petelle the discretionary authority to vote on your behalf on any other matter that is properly brought at the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my vote?

You can change your vote by revoking your proxy at any time before it is exercised in one of four ways:

•

notify the Andrew Corporate Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting that you are revoking your proxy;

•

submit another proxy with a later date;

•

vote by telephone or Internet after you have given your proxy; or

•

vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

Your shares are likely registered differently or are in more than one account. You should sign and return all proxy cards to guarantee that all of your shares are voted. If you wish to combine your shareholder accounts in the future, you should contact our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services LLC, at (800) 357-1910. Combining accounts reduces excess printing and mailing costs, resulting in savings for the company and for you as a stockholder.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum. Presence may be in person or by proxy. Therefore, you will be considered part of the quorum if you return a signed and dated proxy card, if you vote by telephone or Internet, or if you attend the Meeting.

1

Abstentions are counted as "shares present" at the Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. In the election of directors, abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. In the votes on the amendment of our Management Incentive Program, the amendment of our Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and the ratification of our independent auditors, abstentions will have the effect of votes "against" the proposals. Proxies submitted by brokers that do not indicate a vote for some or all of the proposals because the brokers do not have discretionary voting authority and have not received instructions from you as to how to vote on those proposals (so-called "broker non-votes") are considered "shares present" for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. However, broker non-votes are not considered to be shares voted and will not affect the outcome of any vote.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Election of Directors: The ten nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. If you do not want to vote your shares for a particular nominee, you may indicate that in the space provided on the proxy card or withhold authority as prompted during telephone or Internet voting.

Amendment of Management Incentive Program: An affirmative vote by a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting is required to amend the Program to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder from 4,000,000 to 8,000,000.

Amendment of Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors: An affirmative vote by a majority of shares present in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required to amend the Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder from 400,000 to 800,000.

Ratification of Independent Auditors: Although we are not required to submit the appointment of our auditors to a vote of stockholders, we believe that it is appropriate to ask that you ratify the appointment. Ratification of Ernst & Young as our independent auditors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

Who pays to prepare, mail, and solicit the proxies?

Andrew will pay all of the costs of preparing, mailing, and soliciting these proxies. We will ask banks, brokers, and other nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of Andrew common stock and to obtain the authority to execute proxies. We will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

In addition to mailing proxy materials, our directors, officers, and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or otherwise. We also have employed Morrow & Company, Inc. to solicit proxies on our behalf and will pay them approximately $6,500 for their services.

How do I submit a stockholder proposal for next year's Annual Meeting?

You must submit a proposal to be included in our proxy statement for the next annual meeting (February 2004) in writing no later than August 22, 2003. Your proposal must comply with the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

If you do not want your proposal to be included in the proxy statement but want to raise it at the next annual meeting, then we must receive your proposal no later than November 13, 2003. If you submit a proposal after the November 13 deadline but we choose to consider it at the meeting, then the SEC rules permit the individuals named in the proxies for the meeting to exercise discretionary voting power on that proposal. Under our by-laws, your proposal must contain: (1) a brief description of the business you want to bring before the meeting; (2) your name and address as they appear on our stock records; (3) the number of shares of Andrew common stock that you beneficially own; and (4) a brief description of any interest you may have in the business you want to bring before the meeting. You should send your proposal to the Corporate Secretary at our address on the cover of this proxy statement.

How do I nominate a director for consideration at next year's Annual Meeting?

Your nominations for directors of Andrew must meet all of the requirements for stockholder proposals discussed above. Our by-laws also require that for each individual you propose to nominate you give: (1) his or her name, age and home and business addresses; (2) his or her principal occupation or employment; (3) the number of shares of Andrew common stock that he or she beneficially owns; (4) any other information required by the proxy rules of the SEC; and (5) a description of all arrangements or understandings under which you are making the nomination. In addition, you must represent that you plan to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to make the nomination.

Election of Directors


       Stockholders will elect ten directors at the Annual Meeting. Each director will serve until the next annual meeting, until a qualified successor director has been elected, or until he or she resigns or is removed by the Board.

       We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy card. If you do not specify how you want your shares voted, we will vote them FOR the election of all the nominees listed below. If unforeseen circumstances (such as death or disability) make it necessary for the Board of Directors to substitute another person for any of the nominees, we will vote your shares FOR that other person.

Ownership of Andrew Common Stock

Directors and Executive Officers

      This table indicates how much Andrew common stock the nominees for director, the named executive officers and all executive officers and directors as a group beneficially owned as of September 30, 2002. The named executive officers include our chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers based on compensation earned during the last fiscal year.

Except as otherwise noted, the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power for all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

This information was provided in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on February 14, 2002.

²  New Venture Partners II LP has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares. This information was provided in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on June 14, 2002.

³  This amount represents 4,254,303 shares held of record by Pequot Private Equity Fund III, L.P., 599,719 shares held of record by Pequot Offshore Private Equity Partners III, L.P. and 2,072,422 shares held of record by Pequot Endowment Fund, L.P.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders file reports of ownership and changes of ownership of Andrew common stock with the SEC. We believe that all filing requirements were met during fiscal 2002 except that Mr. Poch filed a late Form 4 reporting the acquisition of phantom stock units and each of Messrs. Donahoe, Fluno, Hunt, Toney and Whipple incorrectly reported the acquisition of phantom stock units on a Form 5 rather than on a Form 4, resulting in the late reporting of these transactions.

      The Board of Directors met nine times during the fiscal year. In addition to meetings of the full Board, directors attended meetings of Board committees. The Board of Directors has standing audit, compensation, and human resources/corporate governance committees. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he served. The following table shows the membership of the various committees:

      Directors who are Andrew employees receive no fees for their services as directors. In fiscal 2002, non-employee "outside" directors received an annual retainer of $20,800 and a fee of $1,100 for each Board meeting and each committee meeting they attended. Committee chairmen received an additional fee of $1,100 for each committee meeting they attended. Beginning January 1, 2003, the annual retainer will be $25,000 and the meeting and chairman fees will each be $1,800. During fiscal year 2002, the Chairman of the Human Resources/Corporate Governance Committee and the Chairman of the Audit Committee each received additional payments for non-meeting services performed in their respective capacity as Chairman.

      Outside directors can defer part or all of their director fees under a deferred compensation plan. In lieu of cash payment, a director's account is credited with share units equal to the value of Andrew common stock at the end of the quarter in which the director elected to defer the fees. Upon leaving the Board, a director will receive the deferred amount in cash, based on the then current value of Andrew common stock. A director may elect to receive the cash payment in a lump sum or in five or fewer equal annual installments. Six of the seven individuals who served as outside directors during the last fiscal year deferred some or all of their director fees.

      Outside directors also participate in the Andrew Corporation Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Under this plan, each eligible director is automatically granted an option to purchase 12,000 shares of Andrew common stock at the Board of Directors' meeting following the annual stockholders' meeting.

      Under guidelines adopted by the Board, each non-employee Director is expected to own Andrew Common Stock having a value equal to at least three times annual cash compensation. A Director has five years following election to the Board to reach that ownership level. A Director who fails to attain or maintain this level of ownership will not be eligible for subsequent grants of stock options.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

       This table gives information relating to option grants to Dr. English and the four next most highly compensated executive officers in fiscal 2002. The exercise price of the options is based upon the fair market value of Andrew common stock on the date the option is granted. As the SEC requires, the calculation of potential realizable values is based on assumed annualized rates of stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% over the full ten-year term of the options. All options granted during the fiscal year vest at a rate of 25% per year.

					Potential Realizable Value at Assumed Annual Rates of Stock Price Appreciation for Option Term

Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-End Option Values

       This table provides information regarding the exercise of options during fiscal 2002 by Dr. English and the four next most highly compensated executives. The "value realized" is calculated using the difference between the option exercise price and the price of Andrew common stock on the date of exercise multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option. The "value of unexercised in-the-money options at fiscal year end" is calculated using the difference between the option exercise price and $6.54 (the price of Andrew common stock on that date) multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option. An option is in-the-money if the market value of the common stock subject to the option is greater than the exercise price.

Long-Term Performance Cash Awards

      Under our long-term incentive plan, the Compensation Committee annually establishes performance goals for the ensuing three fiscal-year period that, if met, entitle eligible executive officers to cash awards. Under the programs established for the three fiscal years ending September 30, 2003 and the three fiscal years ending September 30, 2004, executive officers are eligible for target payouts ranging from 15% to 60% of their average annual salary for the applicable period if the performance goals are met. Performance goals for the current program include level of sales during the third year and aggregate three-year earnings-per-share. Payments will be made if Andrew achieves either 75% of the earnings per share target or 75% of the revenue target. Maximum payouts are limited to two times the target bonus amounts.

      The following table illustrates a range of estimated payouts that could be made early in fiscal 2004 to the named executives under the program covering the three fiscal years ending September 30, 2003.

			Estimated Future Payouts under Long-Term Incentive Plan
Name	Targeted Award	Performance Period	Threshold	Target	Maximum
F. L. English	60% of Average 2001-2003 Salary	Oct. 1, 2000 Sept. 30, 2003	$130,500	$348,000	$696,000
C. R. Nicholas	40% of Average 2001-2003 Salary	Oct. 1, 2000 Sept. 30, 2003	60,000	160,000	320,000

Executive Severance Benefit Plan

      Key executives of Andrew selected by the Compensation Committee receive benefits under the Executive Severance Benefit Plan in the event of termination of employment following a change in control as defined in the Plan.

      Andrew must pay benefits to a Plan participant if, within four years after a change in control, his or her employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability, retirement, or cause. Andrew must also pay benefits if, within the four-year period, a participant resigns because his or her compensation or duties are significantly reduced, because he or she must relocate or because Andrew breaches the Plan. Andrew is obligated to pay each affected participant an amount equal to the sum of: (1) 36 months of salary, bonus and Andrew profit sharing and matching contributions, (2) the aggregate spread between the option price and fair market value of Andrew common stock on the severance date for all of the participant's outstanding stock options and (3) up to 36 months of medical, life and similar insurance benefits. These benefits are reduced proportionately if any such termination occurs more than one year, but within four years, after the change in control.

      If a participant voluntarily terminates employment within two years after a change in control for reasons other than those stated above, Andrew must pay the participant one-half of the above-described benefits. The Plan also provides for an adjustment in the benefits Andrew must pay if a benefit is considered an "excess parachute payment" under the Internal Revenue Code.

      If there had been a change in control and termination of employment of the executives named in the Summary Compensation Table, Andrew would have been required to pay them the following amounts on September 30, 2002: Floyd L. English, $3,227,000; Charles R. Nicholas, $1,868,000; Thomas E. Charlton, $1,578,000; John E. DeSana, $1,270,000; and John B. Scott, $1,642,000.

Employee Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan

       The Andrew Employee Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan provides additional retirement benefits to certain senior executives selected by the Compensation Committee. Because of limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, these executives' benefits from the Andrew Profit Sharing Trust are reduced. In general, executives participating in the Restoration Plan receive benefits that compensate them for the decreased benefits under the Profit Sharing Trust.

       A participant is not eligible to receive benefits under the Restoration Plan until the earlier of turning 65 or his or her termination of employment with Andrew by reason of death, disability, retirement, or change in control. Generally, the participant can elect to receive benefit payments under the Restoration Plan in a lump sum or in installments over 15 years. Upon a change in control, however, the participant will receive benefit payments in a lump sum.

       If there had been a change in control, Andrew would have been required to pay the executives named in the Summary Compensation Table the following amounts as of September 30, 2002: Floyd L. English, $185,700; Charles R. Nicholas, $103,100; Thomas E. Charlton, $249,500; John E. DeSana, $46,100; and John B. Scott, $84,700.

Other Arrangements

       At its November 14, 2002 meeting, the Board of Directors confirmed the election of Ralph Faison to the additional position of Chief Executive Officer, effective following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on February 11, 2003. The Board of Directors also confirmed that Floyd English will continue as Chairman until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in February 2004, at which time he will retire. In connection with this transition, at its meeting on November 13, 2002, the Compensation Committee agreed that Dr. English will be entitled to the following: for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003, Dr. English will receive a base salary of $580,000, will be eligible to receive an annual bonus as determined by the Committee, and will participate in the long-term performance cash award program covering the three fiscal years ending September 30, 2005 and all other compensatory plans of Andrew. For the period from October 1, 2003 until his retirement after the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in February 2004, Dr. English will receive only his base salary and any payout under the long-term performance cash award program. Thereafter he will be entitled to receive a consulting fee of $300,000 for each of the years ending December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

       In November 1991, Andrew entered into an agreement that obligates Andrew to retain Mr. Scott as an advisor to the company for two years after the termination of his employment for a retainer fee of $100,000, a per diem rate of $500 and the reimbursement of expenses.

Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors

      The Compensation Committee establishes Andrew Corporation's general compensation policies as well as specific compensation plans, performance goals and compensation levels for executive officers. The Committee selects participants for and administers the Management Incentive Program, the Employee Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan and the Executive Severance Benefit Plan, and administers the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Committee is composed of four non-employee directors who have no interlocking relationships.

Compensation Philosophy

      The Committee's principal objective is to align executive compensation with stockholder value. To achieve that objective, executive compensation has various components. One component is base salary, which is set below the median for similar positions at comparable companies. Other cash components are annual bonus and long-term performance cash awards, which are linked to aggressive performance factors that relate to stockholder value, such as earnings per share and sales. Stock options further align long-term executive performance with stockholder value. The Committee believes that this multi-faceted approach to compensation provides a strong incentive since executives can receive above-average total compensation if the company's performance is exceptional.

Base Salary

      The Committee established Dr. English's salary by comparison to the salaries of chief executive officers of comparable companies. An outside consultant compiled salary data for a group of technology companies that are similar to Andrew. Some of these companies are included in the S&P

14

Communications Equipment Manufacturers Index used in the Performance Graph. Based on the salary information provided by the consultant, the Committee set Dr. English's base salary for the last three fiscal years below the median for companies comparable to Andrew. Dr. English received a 7.4% increase in base salary for fiscal 2002.

      The Committee also used salary survey data compiled by its consultant to determine the salaries for other executive officers. As with Dr. English, the Committee sets the base salaries below the median salaries for similar positions at comparable companies. The Committee also considers other factors, such as relative company performance, the officer's past performance and his or her potential.

Annual Bonus

      The Committee determines the CEO's annual cash bonus based on the company's growth in earnings per share during the past fiscal year. Each year, the Committee sets a minimum earnings per share target. The bonus is calculated using a formula based on the amount that earnings per share for the year exceeds the target. For fiscal 2002, the company incurred a net loss per share of $.30. Therefore, Dr. English did not receive a cash bonus for fiscal 2002.

      Cash bonuses for other executive officers are based on three factors: (1) earnings per share growth, using the same formula as for the CEO; (2) operating results of the businesses or business functions that report to the executive; and (3) achievement of specified, measurable objectives that relate to the executive's area of responsibility.

Long-Term Performance Cash Award

      The long-term performance cash award programs for senior executives are based on objective measurements at a corporate level, which emphasize the company's long-term results. Each program covers three fiscal years. The Committee establishes minimum, target and maximum performance goals, which recently included earnings per share growth over the three years and the level of sales for the third year of the program.

      The most recent long-term performance cash award program covered fiscal years 2000 through 2002. Under this program, 50% of the target bonus was based on earnings per share growth during the period and 50% was based on revenue growth during the period. In addition, the program required Andrew to maintain a minimum average return on equity and return during the three-year period. For the period covered by this program, minimum targets were not met, and therefore no payouts were made.

Options

      The Committee believes that stock options are an essential element of executive compensation because they focus management's attention on stockholder interests. Through periodic grants of stock options, the Committee intends to encourage executive officers and other key employees to increase stockholder value. Option grants are made at fair market value of Andrew common stock on the grant date. The stock option plan prohibits the re-pricing of options.

      At its meeting on November 13, 2002, the Committee granted Dr. English options on 150,000 shares of Andrew common stock. The Committee also granted options to the other most highly compensated officers as follows: Mr. Nicholas, 60,000 shares; Mr. Charlton, 20,000 shares; Mr. DeSana, 40,000 shares; and Mr. Scott, 30,000 shares.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

      The Chairman and CEO is expected to own Andrew common stock having a value of five times his annual salary. Other senior officers have goals ranging from two to four times annual salary. Each officer has five years following election to his or her position to reach that ownership level. The Committee will consider reducing or eliminating future option grants if an officer fails to attain or maintain the appropriate ownership level.

15

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

      Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) limits the deductibility by Andrew of compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the chief executive officer and each of the other four most highly compensated executive officers. Certain "performance based compensation" is not included in compensation counted for purposes of the limit. The policy of the Committee is to establish and maintain a compensation program that will optimize the deductibility of compensation. The Committee, however, reserves the right to use its judgment, where merited by the need for flexibility to respond to changing business conditions or by an executive officer's individual performance, to authorize compensation that may not, in a specific case, be fully deductible by Andrew.

Amendment of the Andrew Corporation
Management Incentive Program

      The Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the Andrew Corporation Management Incentive Program to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the program by 4,000,000 shares. The Board believes that without stockholder approval there will be insufficient shares reserved for effective future use of the program.

      The purpose of the program is to assist the company in attracting and retaining individuals of outstanding competence, to provide performance incentives for officers, executives and other key employees, and to align the interests of those key employees with those of our stockholders. The Board believes that the program is an important tool in ensuring the highest level of performance from our key employees by providing them with an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the company.

      Although the program permits the issuance of a variety of stock incentives, the Board historically has utilized stock options to accomplish the goals of the program. After the grant on November 12, 2002 of options to acquire 1,015,825 shares, there remain only 50,620 shares available for future issuance of stock options. However, immediately prior to that grant, there were options outstanding on November 12, 2002 to acquire 4,924,248 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from a low of $12.38 per share (covering 12,500 shares) to a high of $38.17 per share (covering 348,525 shares). That is, every single outstanding option granted to employees under the Management Incentive Program prior to November 12, 2002 was "under water" on that date. Shares subject to options that expire without being exercised normally go back into the pool of shares available for future grants of options. However, all outstanding options (covering 1,868,281 shares) that expire in November of 2004 through 2008 were granted under the predecessor program to the Management Incentive Program and will not be available for the grant of future options. Thus, in the near term we can look only to newly authorized shares to support option grants.

      The Board has considered the company's past award granting practices under the program and foreseeable future hiring needs in determining the proper amount by which to increase the pool of reserved shares and has determined that the proposed increase is appropriate and in the best interests of Andrew and its stockholders. The Board recommends that you approve this amendment to the program. The following summary describes the material features of the program.

16

The Management Incentive Program Generally

      The program was originally adopted by the Board of Directors in November 1999 and approved by our stockholders in February 2000. Awards under the program may be in the form of stock awards, option awards or performance units (a contingent right to receive a cash award or shares of common stock). Under the program, the Compensation Committee of the Board may grant awards to employees of the company or of a subsidiary of the company employed on a full-time basis, including officers and directors who are employees, and who, in the opinion of the Compensation Committee, are in a position to make significant contributions to the earnings of the company.

Shares Available for the Program

      We currently have 4,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the program. After grants made in November 2002, only 50,620 shares remained available for future awards under the program. The number of shares that can be issued and the number of shares subject to outstanding options may be adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of shares of our outstanding common stock.

      The Board proposes to amend the program to increase the number of shares that can be issued to 8,000,000. We believe that these awards are important to attract and to encourage the continued employment and service of key employees by facilitating their purchase of an equity interest in Andrew. In order to ensure that there are adequate shares available for future grants to support broad-based participation, we believe that we need to increase the number of shares issuable under the program.

Program Administration

      The Compensation Committee administers the program. Subject to the specific provisions of the program, the Compensation Committee determines award eligibility, timing and the type, amount and terms of the awards. The Compensation Committee also interprets the program, establishes rules and regulations under the program and makes all other determinations necessary or advisable for the program's administration.

Stock Awards

      Stock awards may be in the form of restricted stock or a commitment to issue common stock. Upon the issuance of a stock award, the key employee is entitled to receive dividends, to vote and to exercise all other rights of a stockholder as to such common stock, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in the stock award.

      If the Compensation Committee intends the restricted stock granted to satisfy the performance-based compensation exemption under Code Section 162(m) ("Qualifying Restricted Stock"), the extent to which the Qualifying Restricted Stock will vest will be based on the attainment of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee in writing prior to commencement of the performance period from a list set forth in the program. The level of attainment of the performance goals and the corresponding number of shares of vested Qualifying Restricted Stock will be certified by the Compensation Committee in writing pursuant to Code Section 162(m) and the related regulations.

17

Stock Options

      Options granted under the program are subject to the following provisions:

(a)

The option price per share of common stock will be determined by the Compensation Committee, but it may not be less than the average of the high and low sales prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date the option is granted. The option price may not be changed after the grant date.



(b)

The expiration date of each option will be established by the Compensation Committee at the time the option is granted. Incentive stock options may not be granted after November 17, 2009 and must expire not later than ten years from their grant date.



(c)

An option will be considered exercised on the date written notice is mailed (postage prepaid) or delivered to the Secretary of the company advising of the exercise of a particular option and transmitting payment of the option price for the shares involved. Payment may be made in cash or by the surrender of common stock that has a market value equal to the exercise price, or by a combination thereof; provided that common stock previously acquired from the company may not be surrendered unless it has been held for at least six months. No common stock will be issued or transferred upon exercise of an option until full payment therefor has been made.

Expiration of Awards

      As discussed above, options granted under the program generally expire on the date determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant, subject to earlier expiration as specified in the award agreement if the holder terminates employment with us prior to that date. Generally, unless determined otherwise by the Compensation Committee and subject to certain change in control provisions, all unvested options and stock awards and all unpaid performance units are forfeited upon termination of employment for reasons other than retirement, disability, or death.

      Subject to the Compensation Committee's ability to declare vested or unvested awards forfeited upon conduct that adversely affects the company, upon termination of employment by reason of retirement, disability, or death, all unvested options and stock awards become fully vested and any performance units become payable to the extent determined by the Compensation Committee.

      Upon termination by reason of retirement or disability, options will be exercisable until not later than the earlier of three years after the termination date or the expiration of their term. Upon termination by reason of death, while employed or after terminating employment by reason of retirement or disability, options will be exercisable by the key employee's beneficiary not later than the earliest of one year after the date of death, three years after the date of termination due to retirement or disability, or the expiration of their term.

      Upon termination for any reason other than retirement, disability or death, any options vested prior to termination may be exercised during the three-month period commencing on the termination date, but not later than the expiration of their term. If a key employee dies during the post-employment period, the key employee's beneficiary may exercise the options (to the extent they were vested and exercisable on the date of employment termination), but not later than the earlier of one year after the date of death or the expiration of their term.

Change of Control

      In the event of a change-in-control, all awards under the program vest and the maximum value of all performance units, prorated for the number of full months of service completed by the employee during the applicable performance period, will immediately be paid in cash to the employee. Options that vest upon a change-in-control may be exercised only during the 90 days immediately thereafter.

18

Grants Under the Program

      We cannot determine the number of shares of our common stock that may be acquired under stock options that may be awarded under the program to participants. On December 12, 2002, the last trading day prior to the record date, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $10.31 per share. As of that date, options to purchase 3,949,380 shares of common stock were outstanding under the program. Non-employee directors do not participate in the program. Options granted since the inception of the program to the individuals listed in the table below are as follows:

Name	Number of Shares
Floyd L. English, Ph.D. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Current Director and Director Nominee	581,600
Ralph E. Faison President and Chief Operating Officer, Current Director and Director Nominee	350,000
Charles R. Nicholas Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer and Director Nominee	215,000
Thomas E. Charlton Vice President, Strategic Planning	125,000
John E. DeSana Group President, RF Subsystems	165,000
John B. Scott Group President, Power Amplifiers	135,000
All current executive officers	1,936,600
All employees (other than current executive officers)	2,012,780

Transferability

      Generally, an award under the program may not be assigned, transferred or subjected to any encumbrance, pledge or charge of any nature; provided that a key employee may designate a beneficiary to receive an award in the event of his or her death. Under such procedures as the Compensation Committee may establish, awards may be transferred by gift to members of a key employee's immediate family (i.e., children, grandchildren and spouse), to one or more trusts for their benefit or to partnerships in which those family members and the key employee are the only partners, provided that (i) any agreement governing such awards expressly so permits or is amended to so permit, (ii) the key employee does not receive any consideration for such transfer, and (iii) the key employee provides such documentation or information concerning any such transfer or transferee as the Compensation Committee may reasonably request. Any transferred awards will be subject to the same terms and conditions that applied immediately prior to their transfer. In no event do such transfer rights apply to any incentive stock option.

19

Tax Consequences

      The following is a summary, based on current law, of some significant federal income tax consequences of awards under the program. Participants are advised to consult with their own tax advisor regarding the federal, state and local tax consequences that apply to program participants.

      Participants in the program do not recognize taxable income by reason of the grant or vesting of an option, and we do not receive a tax deduction by reason of either event. At exercise, the federal tax consequences vary depending on whether the award is an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option.

Incentive Stock Options

      Upon exercise of an incentive stock option, its holder does not recognize taxable income, and we do not receive a tax deduction. However, the excess of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price is an adjustment that increases alternative minimum taxable income, the base upon which alternative minimum tax is computed.

      If the shares purchased upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are sold at a gain within two years from the date of grant, or within one year after the option is exercised, then the difference, with certain adjustments, between the fair market value of the stock at the date of exercise and the exercise price will be considered ordinary income. Any additional gain will be treated as a capital gain. If the shares are sold at a gain after they have been held at least one year and more than two years after the grant date, any gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain. Any loss recognized upon a taxable disposition of the shares generally would be characterized as a capital loss.

Nonqualified Stock Options

      Upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, its holder recognizes ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of our common stock at the time of exercise and the exercise price. Generally, we are entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for compensation income recognized by the holder. Upon the subsequent sale of the shares acquired in the exercise, the holder will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending on the length of time he or she has held the shares.

Stock Awards

      In general, a recipient of a stock award recognizes ordinary income in the year in which the stock award is issued, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of issuance, and we recognize a corresponding tax deduction for compensation expense. If the stock award is restricted stock, the recipient generally will not recognize any taxable income upon the issuance of the stock or while the restrictions remain in effect. However, when the restrictions lapse, the recipient of a restricted stock award generally recognizes ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at that time. The recipient of a restricted stock award may, however, elect to recognize ordinary income at the time of issuance of the restricted stock (rather than when the restrictions lapse) by filing a statement with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of receiving the restricted stock. In general, we are entitled to a tax deduction for compensation expense in the year in which the recipient recognizes the corresponding income.

Performance Units

      There are no tax consequences associated with the grant of performance units. However, upon receipt of a payment associated with a performance unit, the recipient generally recognizes ordinary income and we ordinarily are entitled to a corresponding tax deduction.

20

Program Amendment and Termination

      The program may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time, provided that, without the approval of our stockholders, no amendment that increases the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards will be effective. No amendment or termination of the program or any portion thereof may, without the consent of the key employee, adversely affect any award previously made or any other rights previously granted to him or her.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR
the amendment of the Andrew Corporation Management Incentive Program.

Amendment of the Andrew Corporation
Stock Option Plan For Non-Employee Directors

      The Board of Directors has adopted, and recommends to stockholders for approval, an amendment to the Andrew Corporation Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan from the current 400,000 to 800,000. The increase in the total number of shares available under the plan is needed to allow the company to satisfy the grant of future shares to eligible directors. The following summary describes the material features of the plan.

The Stock Option Plan Generally

      The Board believes that the proposed increase in the authorized shares available under the plan will benefit the company by encouraging the highest level of director performance by providing eligible directors the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the company's success and progress through the purchase of shares of its common stock. The Board also believes that the availability of annual option grants pursuant to the plan helps Andrew attract, retain, and motivate its non-employee directors whose skill, experience, and efforts are important to the continued success of the company.

Shares Available for the Plan

      We currently have 400,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan. As of November 12, 2002, 28,000 shares remained available for grants under the plan. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or other change in respect of the company's common stock, (i) the total number of shares remaining available for grant of options under the plan and the number of shares covered by each outstanding option will be adjusted in proportion to such change and (ii) the option exercise price per share under each outstanding option will be adjusted so that the total consideration payable upon exercise does not change. However, the annual option grant of 12,000 shares will not be adjusted in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, or similar change.

      The Board proposes to amend the plan to increase the number of shares that can be issued to 800,000. We believe that stock options are important to attract and to encourage the continued service of directors by facilitating their purchase of an equity interest in the company. In order to ensure that there are adequate shares available for future grants to support our future needs, we believe that we must increase the number of shares issuable under the plan.

21

Plan Administration

      Our Chief Financial Officer administers the plan. Subject to the specific provisions of the plan, the Chief Financial Officer determines award eligibility, timing and the type, amount and terms of the awards. The Chief Financial Officer also interprets the plan, establishes rules and regulations under the plan and makes all other determinations necessary or advisable for the plan's administration.

Expiration of Options

      As discussed above, generally options granted under the plan expire in ten years. However, if an optionee ceases to be a director of the company for any reason other than death, he or she may exercise the option within a period of five years following the date of cessation to the extent the option would have been exercisable within such period had the optionee continued to be a director throughout the period. If the optionee dies during the five-year period, each option held by the optionee may be exercised by the legal representative of the optionee's estate, or the person taking the option by will or under the laws of descent or distribution, within the time remaining in the five-year period or within a period of twelve months following the date of death, whichever is longer, but only to the extent the option was exercisable by the optionee at the time of death. If an optionee ceases to be a director by reason of death, each option held by the optionee may be exercised by the legal representative of the optionee's estate, or the person taking the option under the laws of descent and distribution, for a period of up to five years following the date of death (or the expiration of the option's term, if earlier), but only to the extent the option was exercisable by the optionee at the time of death.

Change of Control

      In the event of a change-in-control, all options under the plan vest and may be exercised only during the 90 days immediately thereafter.

Grants Under the Plan

      The plan provides for the annual automatic grant of a stock option to each eligible director to purchase 12,000 shares of our common stock. To be eligible for the grant of an option, the person must be an incumbent member of the Board of Directors on the date of grant who is not and, at any time within the preceding three years, has not been an officer or employee of Andrew or any of its subsidiaries. A new member of the Board will not qualify for an option grant until elected by stockholders. Shares of common stock purchased by the exercise of options may be authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury. If an option expires or terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares not purchased will be available for the grant of other options.

      The exercise price of options granted under the plan is 100% of the average of the high and low sales price of a share of common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of grant or on the next preceding business day if the grant date is not a business day. The term of each option is ten years from the date of grant. Options vest and become exercisable in 20% increments following each successive annual stockholder meeting, until the fifth annual stockholder meeting after the option grant, at which time the option becomes fully exercisable.

      We cannot determine the number of shares of our common stock that may be acquired under stock options that may be awarded under the plan to participants. On December 12, 2002, the last trading day prior to the record date, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $10.31 per share. As of that date, options to purchase 372,000 shares of common stock were outstanding under the plan. Each of the individuals named in the following table is a current director and nominee for election at the Annual Meeting. Options granted to these directors since the inception of the plan are as follows:

22

Name	Number of Shares
John G. Bollinger, Ph.D.	60,000
Thomas A. Donahoe	48,000
Jere D. Fluno	60,000
William O. Hunt	36,000
Gerald A. Poch	-0-
Glen O. Toney	48,000
Dennis L. Whipple	12,000
All current directors who are not executive officers	264,000

Transferability

      Generally, no option may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, and an option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the optionee, only by the optionee. Under the rules and procedures as the plan administrator may establish, an optionee may transfer his or her option to members of the optionee's immediate family (i.e., children, grandchildren and spouse), to one or more trusts for the benefit of those family members or to partnerships in which those family members are the only partners, provided that (i) the agreement, if any, with respect to the option, expressly so permits or is amended to so permit, (ii) the optionee does not receive any consideration for the transfer, and (iii) the optionee provides such documentation or information concerning the transfer or transferee as the plan administrator may reasonably request. Any option held by any transferees will be subject to the same terms and conditions that applied immediately prior to its transfer. The plan administrator may also amend the agreements applicable to any outstanding options to permit these transfers. Any option not granted pursuant to any agreement expressly permitting its transfer or amended expressly to permit its transfer will not be transferable.

Tax Consequences

      The following is a summary, based on current law, of some significant federal income tax consequences of awards under the plan. Participants are advised to consult with their own tax advisor regarding the federal, state and local tax consequences that apply to plan participants.

      The automatic grant of a stock option will not result in taxable income to a director or a tax deduction for Andrew. Upon exercise of an option, a director generally will realize ordinary income to the extent that the then fair market value of the shares of common stock exceeds the option exercise price. We generally will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income realized by the director.

Plan Amendment and Termination

      The plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time, provided that, without the approval of our stockholders, no amendment that increases the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards will be effective. No amendment or termination of the plan or any portion thereof may, without the consent of a director, adversely affect any award previously made or any other rights previously granted to him or her.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR
the amendment of the Andrew Corporation Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

      The Audit Committee is composed of four outside directors who are independent, as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

      Management is responsible for the internal controls and financial reporting process of Andrew. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and issuing a report to the company's stockholders and Board of Directors on the results of this audit. The Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

      At each of its four meetings during fiscal year 2002, the Committee met and held discussions with management and Ernst & Young, independent auditors for Andrew. These meetings included sessions at which management was not present. The Committee discussed with Ernst & Young the results of its examination of the consolidated financial statements, its evaluation of Andrew's internal controls, and its assessment of the overall quality of the company's financial controls. Management represented to the Committee that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Committee reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and Ernst & Young. The Committee also discussed with Ernst & Young matters related to the financial reporting process required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

      Ernst & Young provided to the Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Committee reviewed with Ernst & Young that firm's independence. The Committee determined that non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young during the 2002 fiscal year are compatible with maintaining their independence.

      Based on the Committee's discussion with management and Ernst & Young, the Committee's review of the representations of management, and the report of Ernst & Young to the Committee, the Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002. The Committee also has recommended for stockholder approval the retention of Ernst & Young as independent auditors for fiscal year 2003.

Appointment of Independent Auditors

      The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, to serve for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003. Ernst & Young has been employed to perform this function for Andrew since 1970.

Audit Fees

      Ernst & Young billed Andrew approximately $540,000 in connection with (i) the audit of the annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002 and (ii) the review of the quarterly financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002.

Audit-Related Fees

      Ernst & Young billed Andrew approximately $448,000 for audit related services provided during fiscal year 2002. These fees relate to work performed by them with respect to statutory audits of foreign subsidiaries, audits of the benefit plans, acquisition related due diligence assistance, and other technical accounting assistance.

Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees

      Ernst & Young did not provide any services related to financial information systems design and implementation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.

All Other Fees

      The aggregate fees for all other services rendered by Ernst & Young for fiscal year 2002 were approximately $511,000. These fees include work performed by the independent auditors with respect to tax compliance, expatriate tax services, and other tax consulting, including assistance with our foreign sales corporation. Audit-related and all other fees totaled approximately $959,000, including the $448,000 discussed above under Audit Related Fees.

      The Audit Committee has determined that the non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young during the 2002 fiscal year are compatible with maintaining their independence.

      Although we are not required to do so, we believe that it is appropriate to request that stockholders ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young. If stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will investigate the reasons for the stockholders' rejection and reconsider the appointment.

      Representatives of Ernst & Young will be at the Annual Meeting, will be given the opportunity to make a statement and will respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit Committee unanimously recommends a vote FOR
ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP.

Exhibit A

Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

I.      PURPOSE

      The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to: the auditing, accounting, and reporting practices of the company; the adequacy of the company's systems of internal controls; and the quality and integrity of publicly reported financial disclosures. The Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to:

•  Serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the company's financial reporting process and internal control system.

•  Review and appraise the activities of the internal and external auditors.

•  Provide an open avenue of communication among the external and internal auditors, financial and senior management, and the Board of Directors.

      The Committee is responsible for producing the 'Report of the Audit Committee' required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to be included in the Company's annual proxy statement, and overseeing the activities of the external auditors. The external auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee as representatives of the stockholders. The external auditors report directly to the Committee.

      The Audit Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the activities enumerated in Section IV of this Charter.

II.    ORGANIZATION

The Audit Committee shall be comprised solely of at least three independent directors elected annually in February by the Board. Members of the Audit Committee will be considered independent if they meet the criteria for independence required by NASDAQ and section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Each member of the Committee shall be able to read and understand financial statements. At least one member of the Committee shall be a financial expert as defined by the SEC. Committee members may be replaced at the discretion of the Board.

III.    MEETINGS

The Committee will meet at least four times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate in addition to the conference calls to discuss the financial statements prior to release of earnings where the Chairman may represent the entire Committee. The Committee will meet either jointly or separately with the internal auditors and the external auditors in executive sessions at least four times annually to discuss any matters that the Committee or each of these groups believes should be discussed privately.

IV.    RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Audit Committee believes that its policies and procedures should remain flexible in order to react to changing conditions and to ensure the effective oversight of the company's reporting process and internal control system.
