What Is An LNB???
Answer:-
Lnb full name is low-noise block downconverter A low-noise block downconverter (or LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception, which collects the radio waves from the dish. Also called a low-noise block It receives the microwave signal from the satellite collected by the dish, amplifies it, and downconverts the block of frequencies to a lower block of intermediate frequencies (IF). This downconversion allows the signal to be carried to the indoor satellite TV receiver using relatively cheap coaxial cable; if the signal remained at its original microwave frequency it would require an expensive and impractical waveguide line. The LNB is usually a small box suspended on one or more short booms, or feed arms, in front of the dish reflector, at its focus (although some dish designs have the LNB on or behind the reflector). The microwave signal from the dish is picked up by a feedhorn on the LNB and is fed to a section of waveguide. One or more metal pins, or probes, protrude into the waveguide at right angles to the axis and act as antennas, feeding the signal to a PCB inside the LNB's shielded box for processing. The lower frequency IF output signal emerges from a socket on the box to which the coaxial cable connects. LNBF disassembled (All Parts). The waveguide carrying the microwave radio signal collected by the dish passes through the hole in the center. The pins visible at the top and left side of the hole project into the waveguide and receive the signal, converting it to radio frequency alternating currents which are processed by the circuit board. Cross-section across a low-noise block downconverter. Viewing of the pin and the horn antenna in a low-noise block downconverter. The LNB gets its power from the receiver or set-top box inside the house. This phantom power is sent "up" the same coaxial cable that carries the received signals "down" to the receiver, eliminating the need for a separate power cable.
