  2. Satellite dish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_dish

    On 4 March 1996, EchoStar introduced Digital Sky Highway (Dish Network). [9] This was the first widely used direct-broadcast satellite television system and allowed dishes as small as 20 inches (51 cm) to be used. This great decrease of dish size also allowed satellite dishes to be installed on vehicles. [10] Dishes this size are still in use ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-small-aperture_terminal

    A 2.5 m parabolic dish antenna for bidirectional satellite Internet access. A very-small-aperture terminal (VSAT) [1] is a two-way satellite ground station with a dish antenna that is smaller than 3.8 meters. The majority of VSAT antennas range from 75 cm to 1.2 m. Bit rates, in most cases, range from 4 kbit/s to 16 Mbit/s.

  4. Parabolic antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_antenna

    It has a Cassegrain-type feed, transmits at 6 Ghz and receives at 4 Ghz with a gain of 64.2 dB. A parabolic antenna is an antenna that uses a parabolic reflector, a curved surface with the cross-sectional shape of a parabola, to direct the radio waves. The most common form is shaped like a dish and is popularly called a dish antenna or ...

  5. C band (IEEE) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_band_(IEEE)

    The satellite communications portion of the C band is highly associated with television receive-only satellite reception systems, commonly called "big dish" systems, since small receiving antennas are not optimal for C band. Typical antenna sizes on C-band-capable systems range from 6 to 12 feet (1.8 to 3.5 meters) on consumer satellite dishes ...

  6. Satellite television - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_television

    Satellite television. A number of satellite dishes. Satellite television is a service that delivers television programming to viewers by relaying it from a communications satellite orbiting the Earth directly to the viewer's location. [1] The signals are received via an outdoor parabolic antenna commonly referred to as a satellite dish and a ...

  7. Footprint (satellite) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footprint_(satellite)

    The ellipses indicate the necessary antenna diameter for receiving in cm. The footprint of a communications satellite is the ground area that its transponders offer coverage, and determines the satellite dish diameter required to receive each transponder's signal. There is usually a different map for each transponder (or group of transponders ...

  8. Monoblock LNB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoblock_LNB

    Monoblock LNB. Low-noise block downconverters (LNBs) [1] are electronic devices coupled to satellite dishes for TV reception or general telecommunication that convert electromagnetic waves into digital signals that can be used to transform information into human or machine interpretable data, e.g., optical images, video, code, communications, etc.

  9. Feed horn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_horn

    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).
