  2. Low-noise block downconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_downconverter

    [4] The LNB is a combination of low-noise amplifier, frequency mixer , local oscillator and intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier. It serves as the RF front end of the satellite receiver, receiving the microwave signal from the satellite collected by the dish, amplifying it, and downconverting the block of frequencies to a lower block of ...

  3. Attenuator (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuator_(electronics)

    An RF microwave attenuator. Key specifications for attenuators are: [2] Attenuation expressed in decibels of relative power. A 3 dB pad reduces power to one half, 6 dB to one fourth, 10 dB to one tenth, 20 dB to one hundredth, 30 dB to one thousandth and so on.

  4. Low frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_frequency

    Low frequency (LF) is the ITU designation [1] for radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 30–300 kHz. Since its wavelengths range from 10–1 km, respectively, it is also known as the kilometre band or kilometre waves. LF radio waves exhibit low signal attenuation, making them suitable for long

  5. Radio spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_spectrum

    [4] but spectroscopic scientists consider these frequencies part of the far infrared and mid infrared bands. Because it is a fixed resource, the practical limits and basic physical considerations of the radio spectrum, the frequencies which are useful for radio communication , are determined by technological limitations which are impossible to ...

  6. RF chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_Chain

    An RF chain is a cascade of electronic components and sub-units which may include amplifiers, filters, mixers, attenuators and detectors. [1] It can take many forms, for example, as a wide-band receiver-detector for electronic warfare (EW) applications, as a tunable narrow-band receiver for communications purposes, as a repeater in signal distribution systems, or as an amplifier and up ...

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. manufacturing contracted at a moderate pace in November, with orders growing for the first time in eight months and factories facing significantly lower prices for inputs.

  9. Ionospheric absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionospheric_absorption

    Chart of Attenuation. ISAB is only a factor in the period of the day where radio signals travel through the portion of the ionosphere facing the Sun. The solar wind and radiation cause the ionosphere to become charged with electrons in the first place. At night, the atmosphere becomes drained of its charge, and radio signals can go much farther ...
