The launch of Astra 1E and subsequent satellites saw the first use by Astra of the BSS band of frequencies (11.70–12.75 GHz) for new digital services and required the introduction of an LNB that would receive the whole frequency range 10.70–12.75 GHz, the universal LNB. A universal LNB has a switchable local oscillator frequency of 9.75/10. ...
In communications, a system is wideband when the message bandwidth significantly exceeds the coherence bandwidth of the channel.Some communication links have such a high data rate that they are forced to use a wide bandwidth; other links may have relatively low data rates, but deliberately use a wider bandwidth than "necessary" for that data rate in order to gain other advantages; see spread ...
The International Telecommunication Union defines frequency allocation as being of "a given frequency band for the purpose of its use by one or more terrestrial or space radiocommunication services or the radio astronomy service under specified conditions". [2] Frequency allocation is also a special term, used in national frequency ...
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and ...
A radio band is a small frequency band (a contiguous section of the range of the radio spectrum) in which channels are usually used or set aside for the same purpose. To prevent interference and allow for efficient use of the radio spectrum, similar services are allocated in bands.
A multiswitch is a device used with a dual or quattro LNB to distribute satellite TV signals to multiple (usually more than four) receivers from a single dish and LNB. A typical K u band universal LNB designed for the European market can be switched between four modes (two frequency ranges and two polarisations) selected by signals from the ...
In Europe, for example, there are monoblock single, twin, and quad LNBs for the K u band, which have a pre-defined spacing of 6 degrees (for Astra 19.2°E/Hot Bird 13°E). In March 2007, a new type of monoblock, called the Duo LNB was introduced by CanalDigitaal in the Netherlands for the simultaneous reception of Astra 19.2°E / Astra 23.5°E ...
a frequency translator (normally composed of an oscillator and a frequency mixer) used to convert the frequency of the received signal to the frequency required for the transmitted signal, an output band-pass filter, a power amplifier (this can be a traveling-wave tube or a solid-state amplifier).
