Orbital X-MIC External Reference X-Band LNB with Internal Isolator

Product catalog summary

Product Overview: The Orbital Research X-MIC X-Band low noise block downconverter (LNB) is designed for ruggedized military satellite communications (SATCOM) applications, offering high data throughput, signal amplification, and reliability in extreme conditions. Key features include an internal isolator, a built-in 55 dB transmit reject filter, a switching power supply, reduced size, weight, and power (SWAP), excellent impedance matching, and superior linearity.

Applications: Primarily used for military satellite terminals, the X-MIC can also be tuned for earth observation applications and is suitable for use on moving vehicles or aircraft.
