CPI SAT LRX-1000 Series X-Band LNA Redundancy System

X-Band LRX-1000 Low Noise Amplifier Redundant Switch

The CPI SAT (formerly GD Satcom Technologies & Prodelin) LRX-1000 Series X-Band LNA Redundancy System minimize system downtime due to failure by providing a spare low noise amplifier and an automatic means of switching to the spare upon failure of the primary unit. A 1:1 system provides one spare for one primary LNA. A 1:2 system provides one spare for either of two primary LNAs. The systems consist of an outdoor plate assembly which mounts at the antenna hub and an indoor control panel.
