Engineering Expertise for Space CommunicationsCallisto has many years experience producing very low noise cryogenic amplifiers for satellite ground stations. The first generation products were aimed at ultimate low noise performance, which is required for Deep Space satellite missions. The use of cryogenically cooled LNAs can provide improved ground station G/T at a fraction of the cost of increasing antenna diameter. Learn More
Callisto is now able to offer compact cryogenic low noise amplifiers, which can be used in the wider field of satellite communications, particularly in the remote sensing band of 8.0 to 8.4 GHz. Learn More
Callisto is developing a range of miniature cryogenic low noise amplifiers for use on small ground station antennas down to 1m diameter. These LNAs are also being designed for intermittent operations such as for LEO missions or LEOP support. Learn More
Callisto's continuous R&D investment has lead to the release of a range of LNA packages and components for Satcom and Earth Observation communication links (20GHz and 26GHz). These products delivery state-of-the-art low noise performances for standard ambient temperature installations.
