The RFL-MCT-A-3G is a robust microstrip RF trainer supporting up to 3 GHz, designed for practical study of active and passive components, including MMIC amplifiers, VCOs, mixers, filters, couplers, and RF switches. It enables complete RF subsystem design with real-time S-parameter and performance characterization for hands-on microwave engineering learning.
