Orbital Research INC
System Integration Products
Orbital Research manufactures high-performance frequency converters and components for the satellite services and communications industry. Our products offer the highest quality and reliability, even in the most challenging conditions.
Multiplexers
- Orbital MT25/40 Mux-Tee (Bias Tee/Diplexer) 10 MHz multiplexer and
- Orbital MT433 – Mux-Tee with 433 MHz M & C Channel 10 MHz multiplexer, M&C channel and bias tee in
- Variants for DC and 10 MHz extraction also available
Master Oscillators
- MOS – Master TCXO (temperature compensated) 10 MHz oscillator
- MOM – Master TCXO (temperature compensated) 10 MHz oscillator and mux/tee in one package
- MODM – Master TCXO (temperature compensated) 10 MHz oscillator plus dual mux/tees in one package
Precision Oscillators
Orbitals precision oscillator is effectively the same as the master oscillator, but with greater temperature range, stability and phase noise is better. For high data rate or higher order modulation applications, the POS is the superior product for your satellite services.
- POS – 10 MHz Precision Oscillator Precision OCXO (ovenized) 10 MHz oscillator
- POP – Precision OCXO (ovenized) 10 MHz oscillator and mux/tee in one package
- PODM – Precision OCXO (ovenized) 10 MHz oscillator plus dual mux/tees in one package
- GPS/PPS disciplined Oscillators also available
iRPM – Intelligent Redundant Power Module
- Switch Mechanism – The Orbital iRPM uses Ideal Diode FETs to switch between the primary and backup power supplies. The Ideal Diodes have very low resistance and thus have little or no voltage drop from the input to the output
- Alarm output and Status LEDs are used to indicate the Output Power. The Alarms indicate which voltage input has failed, therefore, allowing replacement of failed power supplies in live systems, avoiding the need to take the entire system off line
- Will operate with Orbital SIP modules, LNBs, BDCs, BUCs, Receivers and Modems
- RoHS & REACH compliant
Redundant 10 MHz Switch & Distribution Amplifier Input 2:4
- Automatic switch between manual and automatic inputs for satellite services
- AGC – Automatic gain control
- Automatically detects the level of incoming signals and sets the outputs to the appropriate level, even if the input signals are at different levels
- RS 485, 232 + USB Interface
- Available in Q2 2019
Orbital Research – LNB
LNB, BDC and Redundant Systems
Orbital Research manufactures high-performance frequency converters and components for the satellite communications industry. Our products offer the highest quality and reliability, even in the most challenging conditions.
Low Noise Block Downconverters (LNBs)
C-Band LNBs
Ku-Band LNBs
Ka-Band LNBs
X-Band LNBs
Orbital builds high performance, high quality LNBs. Our satellite LNBs are available for C, Ku, Ka and X-band. Each unit is expertly engineered, hand-tuned and tested. Each comes with unique specs for that individual LNB, offering actual measurements, not averages.
- Orbital 3400X Off-the-Shelf External Reference C-Band LNB build high-quality entry-level C-band LNB with an external 10 MHz reference. They have excellent phase noise and LO stability, 60 dB gain.
- Orbital Ku-Band LNB with Fixed or Multi-LOs Ku-band LNB to meet demanding, customer-specific requirements. Bandwidth of up to 1050 MHz. External 10 MHz reference. Voltage or Push Button Band switching is available.
- Orbital Ka-Band LNB with Fixed LO & Internal Isolator Compact and sealed external reference Ka-band LNB with a built-in isolator. Fixed local oscillator for a single Ka-band frequency. Used in ARSTRAT Approved terminals and complies with MILSTD-188-164a and MIL-STD-810F.
- The Orbital LNBKaML (Dual Ka) has a push button controller which allows you to quickly change between Commercial and Military bands (Switchable from WGS to GX). Used in ARSTRAT Approved terminals.
- Orbital X-MIC External Reference X-Band with Internal Isolator Designed for the expanding X-band markets. Noise figures as low as 0.7 dB, a 55 dB transmit reject filter and an internal isolator to reduce size. Used in ARSTRAT Approved terminals.
Block Down Convertors (BDCs)
C-Band BDCs
Ku-Band BDCs
Ka-Band BDCs
X-Band BDCs
Orbitals BDCs are available in a wide range of bandwidths, frequencies and connector configurations – and can be custom-mounted as required. These frequency converters work with your low noise amplifier (LNA) to provide simultaneous reception of an entire satellite band.
Redundant LNA, LNB & BDC Switch Systems
Orbitals low noise amplifier (LNA), low noise block downconverter (LNB) and block down converter (BDC) redundant systems are custom-made to your specifications. The outdoor unit can be modified for booms, hubs, racks and other mounting considerations – and the indoor controller is pre-mounted on a 1 RU 19-inch rail. LNA/LNB redundancy can be automatic (current sensing) or manually selected. Power supply redundancy is automatic, and remote M&C via an RS232/Ethernet port is included.
iSwitch ODU Controller
The iSwitch module is an ODU controller for Redundant LNB or BUC systems. The main advantage of this product is that it removes the need for an internal controller (IDU), expensive installation and cabling.
- Accessible from the internet through your computer, laptop or smart phone. All monitoring and control can be accessed through the internet or: RS232, RS485, Ethernet, One wire / 433 MHz
- Add redundancy to any existing system without added coax, control cabling or rack space.
- Because of its size, the iSwitch can fit into a wider range of antenna systems
- LNB neutral – the same box can be used for: C, X, Ku or Ka, BUC universal, remote redundancy, BDCs
- Multiple sensing options including: Current sensing window (automatic switch) System voltage monitoring, BUC Inhibit on Switch, Loss of Lock alarms
