  • Page 13: Chapter 1. Introduction

    Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION Introduction The Comtech EF Data (CEFD) Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) series (Figure 1-1) includes LNAs, available in C-Band and Ku-Band. They meet or exceed system requirements for commercial geosynchronous satellites worldwide. Their compact design and rugged construction make them ideal for transportable applications and severe environments.
  • Page 14: Technology

    RELIABILITY The Comtech EF Data amplifier series (CLNA and KLNA) utilizes proprietary circuitry and high quality components to achieve an MTBF (mean time between failures) in excess of 160,000 hours. Each unit is subjected to a 72 hour burn-in and temperature cycled from -40 to 140°F (-40 to +60°C).
