A low-noise block downconverter (LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception, which collects the radio waves from the dish and converts them to a signal which is sent through a cable to the receiver inside the building.
Two monoblock LNB can be connected to one receiving dish using Multi-satellite techniques. However, the expected results of such connections may vary or be sub-optimal. The results may yield low-level signals from some or all of the satellites or it may work well in certain geographically favorable locations.
An example of a system utilizing both a BUC and an LNB is a VSAT system, used for bidirectional Internet access via satellite. The block upconverter is a block shaped device assembled with the LNB in association with an OMT, orthogonal mode transducer to the feed-horn that faces the reflector parabolic dish. This is opposed to other types of ...
A satellite dish is a dish-shaped type of parabolic antenna designed to receive or transmit information by radio waves to or from a communication satellite. The term most commonly means a dish which receives direct-broadcast satellite television from a direct broadcast satellite in geostationary orbit .
A twin-output Duo LNB fitted to a 60 cm dish with only one output connected. (Note that this LNB is mounted using the 19.2°E feedhorn, not in accordance with SES' installation guidelines) A Duo LNB is a double low-noise block downconverter (LNB) developed by SES for the simultaneous reception of satellite television signals from both the Astra ...
A communications satellite's transponder is the series of interconnected units that form a communications channel between the receiving and the transmitting antennas. [1] It is mainly used in satellite communication to transfer the received signals. A transponder is typically composed of: an input band-limiting device (an input band-pass filter),
Feed horn with concentric rings (left) and LNB (right) on a Hughes DirecWay home satellite dish. An LNBF (LNB with integrated feed horn) that has been cut into two.Visible is the scalar horn antenna (the funnel with concentric rings), which couples the microwave beam into a short waveguide (the tube connecting the feed horn to the LNB electronics part of the LNBF).
The individual LNB's in the package may be standard (DC voltage selects polarisation) or stacked (both polarisations output at once, on different frequency). If the package contains a switch, it would either use 22 kHz to switch between two satellites (DirecTV, StarChoice) or use a proprietary switch (EchoStar/DishNetwork).
