How to choose the right LNB for the Ku-band QPSK
First you have to look at the Data rate, Symbol rate or Bandwidth to select the recommended LO
stability. Please note that all models can be used for higher rate or specified bandwidth.
Data rate
from 20 kbps
from 200 kbps
from 500 kbps
from 2 Mbps
from 3 Mbps
from 20 Mbps
from 30 Mbps
from 40 Mbps
from 60 Mbps
Recommended Model and LO Stability
PLL ext. 10 MHz ref. (LO stability depends on the external reference)
PLL LO stability +/- 10 kHz
PLL LO stability +/- 25 kHz
PLL LO stability +/-100 kHz
PLL LO stability +/-150 kHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 1 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 1.5 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 2 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 3 MHz
Symbol rate
from 10 kSamples/s
from 100 kSamples/s
from 250 kSamples/s
from 1 MSamples/s
from 1.5 MSamples/s
from 10 MSamples/s
from 15 MSamples/s
from 20 MSamples/s
from 30 MSamples/s
Recommended Model and LO Stability
PLL ext. 10 MHz ref. (LO stability depends on the external reference)
PLL LO stability +/- 10 kHz
PLL LO stability +/- 25 kHz
PLL LO stability +/-100 kHz
PLL LO stability +/-150 kHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 1 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 1.5 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 2 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 3 MHz
Bandwidth
from 10 kHz
from 100 kHz
from 250 kHz
from 1 MHz
from 1.5 MHz
from 10 MHz
from 15 MHz
from 20 MHz
from 30 MHz
Recommended Model and LO Stability
PLL ext. 10 MHz ref. (LO stability depends on the external reference)
PLL LO stability +/- 10 kHz
PLL LO stability +/- 25 kHz
PLL LO stability +/-100 kHz
PLL LO stability +/-150 kHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 1 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 1.5 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 2 MHz
LNB with DRO oscillator LO stability +/- 3 MHz
The Phase noise and Noise figure.
All SMW models has low Phase noise and Noise Figure, and are not neccessary to select for the
LNB. Please look in the specifications.
Secondly you have to look at the Gain. The figures are general and may vary depending on how
strong the signals are.
