Also called a low-noise block, [1] [2] low-noise converter (LNC), or even low-noise downconverter (LND), [3] the device is sometimes inaccurately called a low-noise amplifier (LNA). [4] The LNB is a combination of low-noise amplifier, frequency mixer, local oscillator and intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier.
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.
Many smaller BUCs also get their direct current (DC) over the feedline, using an internal DC block. BUCs are generally used in conjunction with low-noise block converters (LNB). The BUC, being an up-converting device, makes up the "transmit" side of the system, while the LNB is the down-converting device and makes up the "receive" side.
Block diagram of a superheterodyne receiver. The RF front end consists of the components on the left colored red. In a radio receiver circuit, the RF front end, short for radio frequency front end, is a generic term for all the circuitry between a receiver's antenna input up to and including the mixer stage. [1]
The device that unites both up-link and down-link paths, which are at 90° to each other is the OMT. In the VSAT K u band of operation case, a typical OMT provides a -40 dB isolation between each of the connected radio ports to the feed horn that faces the parabolic dish reflector (-40 dB means that only 0.01% of the transmitter's output power ...
A Duo LNB can be purchased in most parts of Europe but it is particularly marketed to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Czechia and Slovakia. [1]Duo LNBs operate as universal LNBs and are manufactured under various brand names, such as Maximum and Inverto, in single, twin-output and quad-output versions – with one, two and four outputs (independently selectable for polarisation and ...
The article needs a bit of work as WhatSatellite (or whatever it is called now) is not exactly a reliable source for citations. The LNA element dates to C-Band practice in the 1970s/1980s where the C-Band signal was picked up at the dish head, amplified and sent to the converter/receiver via very expensive cable.
