Scope
This LNB is designed for the low noise amplifier and block downconverter intended for the satellite
communication data downlink application in Ku-band. It is combined a 3-stage HEMT amplifier and a block
downconverter with a phase locked local oscillator (10 GHz, 10.25 GHz, 10.75 GHz, 11.25 GHz, or 11.3
GHz) which is synchronized with external 10MHz reference.
The LNB receives an RF signal (Ku-band: frequency divided by region band from the 10.75 to 12.75
GHz) as input, downconverts from the RF signal to an IF signal (L-band: 950 to 1,700 MHz), and outputs
the IF signal. It is operated by +24 V DC power (range: +12 to +24 V) input.
The LNB comes in a single, weatherized housing rated for outdoor use, and has a WR-75 waveguide
flange with groove as RF input and an either an N-type or F-type female connector as IF output.
