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. They have a comprehensive set of
options to accommodate systems ranging from Very Small Amplifier Terminal (VSATs) to major
earth stations.

Technology
The amplifiers incorporate both HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistors) devices for Low-Noise
temperature performance and GaAs FET (Gallium Arsenide) devices for low intermodulation.
The unit uses surface mounted components for robotic manufacturing techniques, thereby
insuring maximum product consistency and enhanced reliability.
