feedhorn

A similar feedhorn configuration is used to produce the up/down delta signal (not shown).

Mounted on brackets at the dish's focal point is a device called a feedhorn.

The polarity of each shot can be changed by adjusting the "feedhorn" to a vertical or horizontal position.

For a high gain antenna, the feedhorn assembly is located facing the reflecting surface at or near the focal point.

Certain devices can also allow a feedhorn to accept both linear and circular, though these cause a slight insertion loss to all incoming signals.

The sum signal is created by a feedhorn structure positioned to maximize signal at the center of the antenna beam.

The Astra 23.5 E feedhorn is identified with a "23.5" marking on the casing.

Due to the shape of the dish, an LNB with an oval feedhorn is required to get full signal.

The RF signal from both feedhorns travels up the waveguide where the signals from the left and right feedhorn are combined.

The microwave signal from the dish is picked up by a feedhorn on the LNB and is fed to a section of waveguide.

On modern satellite dishes, used for direct-broadcast satellite TV, a DC bias is used to provide electrical power to the feedhorn.

As this, like the companion slotted waveguide, is a one-dimensional device, it too may be made relatively cheaply as compared to a parabolic reflector and feedhorn.

The waveguide that conveyed the high power transmitter pulse to the antenna feedhorn was pressurized with sulfur hexafluoride (SF) to maintain a high dielectric.

The original C-Band satellite TV systems used a Low Noise Amplifier connected to the feedhorn at the focal point of the dish.

For the waveguide image that is shown, the sum signal would be created by a single waveguide feedhorn centered between the two feedhorns that are shown.

Direct broadcast satellite dishes use an LNBF, which integrates the feedhorn with the LNB.

The term Bandstacked applies to an antenna or satellite feedhorn (LNBF) that is designed to operate on two or more bands of frequencies.

This feedhorn is essentially the front-end of a waveguide that gathers the signals at or near the focal point and 'conducts' them to a Low-noise block converter or LNB.

Switching between horizontal and vertical polarization was accomplished by a small electric servo motor which moved a probe inside the feedhorn throat at the command of the receiver (commonly called a "polarotor" setup).

The feedhorn also selects the polarization of the waves to be received, which helps to attenuate unwanted signals from adjacent channels and transponders, and from other communications satellites at nearby orbital positions.

The prevalence of these combined units has meant that today the term LNB is commonly used to refer to all antenna units that provide the block-downconversion function, with or without a feedhorn.

On a satellite dish, the feedhorn is what is mounted at the end of a mast from the center of the dish, or on tripod legs mounted to the edge of the dish.

Note that with large dishes, it would be possible for the feedhorn to be damaged, which is prevented by the parabolic dishes being done in a flat (non-glossy) finish that does not focus light or heat effectively.

The iLNB combines the feedhorn and electronics for reception and transmission in one unit, and is provided with two F connectors for receive and transmit connection to the IPmodem.

In the UK, the term "twin-output LNB", or simply "twin LNB", is usually used for an LNB with a single feedhorn but two independent outputs.
