Orbital Research has introduced their latest product—the Orbital Q-band LNA.
The company decided to focus on the LNA as their first Q-band product, given the urgent need for feeder links. Designed primarily for satellite teleports and gateways, this wideband amplifier offers exceptional performance and data throughput: high gain and low noise figure, < 2.5 dB for excellent signal.
The Orbital Q-band LNA has been designed with an isolator, presenting a better match to the antenna. This means less loss between the antenna and amplifier, resulting in better gain-to-noise-temperature ratio (G/T) which, in turn, delivers better carrier-to-noise ratio—and a lower bit error rate compared to the same LNA without an isolator. This offering also has a high OIP3 (output third-order intercept point), able to avoid distortion when confronted with multiple strong signals.
Orbital Research is currently engaged in live, over-the-air testing of the new LNA in a variety of conditions with partners and customers. LNAs are available for qualified customers to demo or test with orders being taken now for the first full rate production run with deliveries starting in June 2025.

We’ve already seen a lot of interest in this LNA,” said Orbital CEO Ian McEachern. “We’re excited about the opportunities for innovation that lie ahead.”
