The LNB813A and LNB813C have been replaced by the LNB5300 Series LNBs.

 

For LOs 10.60 & 10.75

For LOs 9.75,10.00,10.15, 10.25 & 10.50

 

What you see is what you get!

The label of Each 813 Series LNB includes its parameters (Input Range, Output Range, LO and Offset), and essential tested results, such as Noise Figure, Gain, and Compression (all measured at low, mid, and high range), labeled right on the unit.  No more wondering if this is the right device for the job.

The unit's Phase Noise is measured at 1, 10, & 100 KHz LO Offset.

Low drift PLL or External Reference - how to decide

 

Orbital is proud to introduce our latest LNB incorporating state of the art components combining proven designs with modern components, and environmentally reliable mechanical enclosures.  Keeping those proven designs means that our newest and best LNB looks exactly like the old version.  So we decided that we have to tell you exactly, and in great detail, right on the label, just exactly how good this product is.

We will tell you the measured noise figure at the start, middle, and end of the band - not some imaginary average graded by a marketing department.

We will tell you the measured gain at the start, middle, and end of the band - not some maximum number tested on one unit and assumed to be met by all.

We will tell you the measured phase noise at three decades of offset, not some spec that might not be accurate.

 

If you really have a need for an extraordinary unit, we have a program of certification, where our tech team can test, tune, tweak and document any specification that you want enhanced.  Would you like to know compression point for use with high power birds?  Perhaps, you need to know the input VSWR for sensitive threshold applications?  Do you need to know the local oscillator drift, or offset characteristics?

Not only that, but we have the depth and breadth to customize your LNB for characteristics like extended bandwidth, (up to 1.05 GHz), custom gain configurations, different local oscillator frequencies, different input start and stop frequencies, different output start and stop frequencies, different applications like test loop translators, terrestrial microwave links, and custom multi-band military LNB assemblies.  After all, we have been doing this since 1977, and all that experience is yours for the asking.

Most LNB designs are years old, using components that are approaching the end of their life cycle, some even obsolete.  That LNB you just bought may have been designed ten years ago.  Electronics is the most dynamic industry on the planet, and the pressure to innovate is unrelenting.  The 813A Series, however, is state of the art.

New parts manufacturing techniques are pushing the boundaries of performance and specifications ever further.  For example, new transistors are quieter, cheaper, and better than components only a few years old.  LTCFC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) manufacturing is building smaller, better, and more consistent filters, inductors, capacitors, and resistors than ever before.  New chip technology developed for the computer industry is allowing integration of components.  What used to take two dozen components, is now in a single chip.  Even simple things, like the circuit board have improved materials for better dielectric control, and better thermal characteristics for more consistent unit-to-unit performance.
