AUGUST 31st, 2001 NORWOOD, NJ - MYAT, Inc., announced today the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire privately held LOWPASS PROTOTYPE, Inc., of Raymond, Maine. The sale will close in early September.

LOWPASS PROTOTYPE designs and manufactures custom filters, multiplexers, power combiners/dividers, and couplers for the broadcast television, radio, and wireless marketplace. “LOWPASS PROTOTYPE has unmatched design capabilities and plenty of industry know-how.

“This move allows MYAT to offer our customers more complete solutions, and access to true cutting-edge filter technology,” continued Cindrich. “Over the past fifty years our customers have come to expect from MYAT the finest rigid transmission line systems and components available.
