Overview
Our Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) series includes LNAs and redundant LNA/LNB systems (C-, X-, Ku- or Ka-Band). They meet or exceed system requirements for commercial geosynchronous satellites worldwide. Their compact design and rugged construction make them ideal for transportable applications and severe environments. The LNAs have a comprehensive set of options to accommodate systems ranging from Very Small Amplifier Terminal (VSATs) to major earth stations. The redundant LNA/LNB systems include primary and backup LNA(B)s and an automatic switching controller. In case of primary LNA/LNB failure, fast automatic switchover to the backup LNA/LNB minimizes downtime.
