Antesky New Product of Ka Band Dual-Channel LNA&BDC System Ka Band Dual-Channel LNA&BDC System

Ka dual-channel LNA&BDC system amplifies the input Ka-band broadband signal with LNA and divides it into two channels for down-conversion to L-band. This integrated system combines advanced components to deliver superior signal reception, distribution, and processing capabilities in the Ka-band frequency range (approximately 17.2GHz ~ 22.3GHz). Here are the key features and benefits of this innovative cost-effective system.

System components of Ka Band Dual-Channel LNA&BDC System

This Ka Band Dual-Channel LNA&BDC System consists of one Ka band low noise amplifier (LNA) , one power splitter , two block downconverters (BDC), which is a comprehensive solution tailored for high-frequency communication, radar, and sensing applications.

Ka-band Low Noise Amplifier (LNA):Our Ka-band LNA offers exceptional low-noise performance, amplifying incoming signals with minimal added noise. This ensures high sensitivity and improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), critical for capturing weak signals and maximizing detection range in Ka-band applications.
Power Splitter:The integrated power splitter enables efficient distribution of amplified signals to multiple downstream components or channels. With precision signal splitting, it facilitates parallel processing or multi-channel operation, enhancing system flexibility and scalability.
Dual Block Downconverters (BDCs):The system includes two block downconverters, each optimized for Ka-band frequencies, capable of converting high-frequency RF signals to lower intermediate frequencies (IFs). The dual-channel configuration supports simultaneous processing of two independent signals or channels, increasing system throughput and efficiency.
