Merrimac Industries Inc. has received an order for $430,000 to supply several Multi-Mix Microtechnology products for a next-generation military communications satellite program. This satellite communications system is designed to significantly improve communications for mobile U.S. forces. Merrimac was selected based on the company's ability to provide dividing and combining devices that are able to handle very high RF power, provide very low insertion loss, and are contained within a caseless, fusion-bonded assembly. The program significantly improves communications for warfighters while maintaining backward compatibility with the existing communications systems for the U.S. Department of Defense.
