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.
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).
Chapter 2. INSTALLATION Unpacking Inspect shipping containers for damage. If shipping containers are damaged, keep them until the contents of the shipment have been carefully inspected and checked for normal operation. The modulator and manual are packaged in pre-formed, reusable, cardboard cartons containing foam spacing for maximum shipping protection.
