9000XABN Dual-Band Ka-Band External Reference LNB

The Norsat 9000XABN is a high-performance Dual-Band Ka-Band External Reference LNB designed to deliver premium reliability for critical satellite communications. Covering the 18.20 to 20.20 GHz frequency range across two distinct sub-bands, it enables seamless multi-band reception without hardware switches. By utilizing a 10 MHz external reference input, it locks the local oscillators (17.25 GHz and 18.25 GHz) to ensure ultra-low phase noise and exceptional frequency stability. Housed in a ruggedized, compact form factor with a WR-42 waveguide input and a 50-ohm Type-N output, the 9000XABN is the industry-leading choice for demanding VSAT terminals, maritime SATCOM, and defense ground stations.
