LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS (LNAs)
Protect receive-chain sensitivity where weak signals are most vulnerable to added noise. Our COTS, configurable and custom low noise amplifiers support spacecraft GNSS/GPS and S-band TT&C systems, with radiation-tolerant and integrated LNA-plus-filter configurations available.

COTS LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS
Four listed TRL 9 models cover GPS L1 and Galileo E1 navigation signals alongside 2025–2120 MHz S-band TT&C receive chains. Compare frequency range, gain and noise figure, then review the model-specific radiation rating and qualification information. An integrated S-band LNA-plus-filter option adds preselection for interference-sensitive receive paths.
COTS TESTING & DOCUMENTATION
RF CHARACTERIZATION
Gain, noise figure and S-parameter verification for the supplied configuration.
−70 °C TO +100°C
Operating range for featured models.
NASA GEVS QUALIFIED
Environmental qualification including random vibration testing to 14.1 GRMS.
TID & SEE TESTING
Acceptance testing and Certificate of Conformance available on request.
CUSTOM LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS
We can modify existing products or develop and qualify fully custom low noise amplifiers to your mission requirements.
Custom development can integrate amplification and filtering within one receive-chain module, reducing external interconnects while tailoring gain, noise figure, rejection, biasing, packaging, RF interfaces and radiation tolerance to the application.
TESTING
Qualification, protoflight and acceptance testing are available to applicable NASA GEVS or ECSS requirements, or your mission-specific environmental specification.
Radiation evaluation can include TID and destructive single-event-effects testing when required.
