Low Noise Block
Agilis ACA Series C-Band Outdoor Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
and C-Band/Ku-Band Low Noise Block (LNB) offers premium
performance and reliability in the most versatile package
available for a LNA/LNB. The latest technology used produces
the lowest possible noise temperatures in an uncooled
LNA/LNB. System performance is enhanced by outstanding
C-Band Low Noise Block gain stability and gain flatness.

Agilis LNA/LNB is housed in a weatherproof enclosure with

a small profile to better accommodate redundancy
configuration.

They are specially designed for satellite earth station receiver

front ends and other applications. Utilising state-of-the-art
technology, Agilis LNAs/LNBs have been designed for both
Ku-Band Low Noise Block C-Band Low Noise Amplifier fixed and transportable applications. High performance models
are available in several standard frequency ranges.
