The MT4100 broadband amplifier is
leveraged around the field-proven
MT4000 TWT architecture. With its
modular design, compact and efficient packaging, the MT4100 will
exhibit unsurpassed reliability.
New users will find the MT4100, with
its intuitive front panel control, easy
to utilize. For those environments
where automation is required, the
MT4100 offers a complete set of serial command in RS485 or RS232 for
quick and easy hook-up to an
automation system. MCL also offers
a full line of controllers that will aid in
remote operation.
