BDCKAFIXED Image

The BDCKAFIXED from Orbital Research is a Low Noise Block with an input RF frequency of 18.2-22.2 GHz and an output RF frequency of 950-1950 MHz. This LNB provides an output bandwidth of 1 GHz and has a noise figure of 10 dB. It has a gain of 20-40 dB with a gain flatness of ± 1.5 dB over 1 GHz and a ripple of +/-0.15 dB per 10 MHz. It supports SMA (S), SMK (K), and APC3.5 (APC) connectors for input and N (N) or SMA (S) for output connectors. This Ka-band fixed block downconverter has a maximum image rejection value of up to -40 dBm and requires a DC supply of 16-26 V. It has an LO leakage of up to -45 dBm and VSWR of 2.0:1 (input)/ 1.5:1 (output). This RoHS/REACH-compliant LNB has a low phase noise of - 112 dBc/Hz (10 MHz) with high gain antennas and exceptional image rejection. It weighs 450 g and measures 4.50 x 1.57 x 1.83 m. This Ka-band BDC with fixed frequency oscillators is designed for broadband commercial, military, and BSS satellite communication (SATCOM), including large satellite teleports, and small earth stations.
