Orbital Ku-Band Modified Series LNBs
Orbital Low Noise Block Downconverters
Our LNB is protected from man-made conditions such as shock, vibration, low power,
over-voltage, surges, transients, and static discharge. Performance is consistent and replacements will match or exceed your original device. Market leading specifications yield some of the best phase noise on the market.
Ku Ext Ref Modified LNB
40 to 65 dB gain, 250 to 1050 MHz bandwidth, any Ku satellite
Custom Engineering
- Begin with the low noise figure of a proven quality LNB
- Optimize Input and Output for superior VSWR
- Modify LO frequencies preserving phase noise and stability
- Modify and tune RF & IF filters for optimum response
- Tune for very low bandpass ripple
- Optimize Gain distribution for your system parameters
"Mass-Custom" Solution
Orbital starts with a proven performance product that is extremely well engineered with the development costs amortized over hundreds of thousands of units and the parts costs reduced by volume discounts. We then customize the mass produced LNB into what you want at 1/100 the cost of designing and building from scratch.
- Custom Frequencies
- Any Connectors
- Dual Power Option
- Special Color
- Private Labeling
- Rack Mounting Option
Enhancing Standard Product
Mass-production means low-cost, reliable,repeatable products. Engineers design these products well within margins on component specifications so that individual tuning is not required to meet desired specifications.
As we modify product, we also tweak the design and components to optimize them for their inherent capabilities. Effectively,we bring out the full potential of the product by adjusting components to their full capability.
