An LNB can be found at the focus point of a dish antenna. It is a low noise amplifier that also converts the signal to a lower frequency. (The original higher frequency would not travel very far in ordinary coaxial cable.)
The LNB is the component located at the end of the arm projecting from the satellite dish. It converts the Ku-band signal beamed from the satellite to a 3.7 - 4.2GHz signal, then filters out low-end frequencies.

An LNB is the component located at the endo of the arm projecting from the satellite dish. It receives the focused signals that bounces off the dish and converts them into a lower frequency that can be accepted by a satellite reciever.
This device is mounted on the arm of a satellite dish and is used to amplify and convert satellite signals into frequencies sent to the receiver.

Low-Noise Blocking Converter. The active receiving element in a satellite dish antenna. Some systems may have two or three LNB's on one dish, each aiming at a different satellite.
Amplifies received signals and converts them from microwaves to lower frequency signals which are then sent along a cable to the satellite receiver. An LNB can be either single or double. A double LNB is required when more than one receiver is used allowing the viewing of different channels on other televisions.
The amplifier that blocks low-end frequencies and receives the high-end frequencies used in digital satellite transmissions. This amplifier is located at the end of the arm projecting from the satellite dish. A single-output LNB dish provides one RF output for connecting an RG-6 coaxial cable to feed the digital signal to a single satellite receiver. A dual-output LNB dish has two RF outputs for distributing satellite signals to two or more receivers.

Low Noise Block Downconverter. A device that processes weak satellite signals directed by an antenna reflector into a feedhorn, whilst introducing as little electrical noise as possible in the process. An LNB consists of a microwave detector followed by a high gain, low noise microwave amplifier and a frequency converter, which downconverts a block of frequencies (group of satellite signals) to a lower intermediate frequency range (typically 950 to 2150 MHz). The feedhorn is often integrated with LNB in a single mechanical unit.
The LNB (Low Noise Block Downconverter) is the heart of your system. It converts the signal from the satellite into a signal your receiver can use. The LNB you need is determined by the geographic location of your dish, the size of your dish, and the length of cable run you have. If you are experiencing poor reception, sparklies or bars on your screen, you need a new one. Some feedhorns come with LNBs. See LNBs. See Feedhorns.
Stands for Low Noise Block Downconverter. A devise that amplifies and converts a direct satellite signal that can be utilized by your satellite receiver.
See Low Noise Block down-converter.
The Low Noise Amplifier on your satellite dish. It converts the high frequency transmission received by your dish to a low frequency signal that your receiver can use. Also called a "feed horn".
Low Noise Block – take a block or band of relatively high frequencies and convert them to similar signals carried at much lower frequencies (intermediate frequency or IF. These lower frequencies travel through cables with much less attenuation of the signal, so there is much more signal left on the satellite receiver end of the cable. The “low noise†part means that special electronic engineering techniques are used so that the signal has less noise (unwanted signals) on the output than would be possible with less stringent engineering. If low noise engineering techniques were not used, the sound and picture of satellite would be very low quality if it could be received at all.
A combination Low Noise Amplifier and downconverter built into one device attached to the feed. (A block converter simultaneously converts the entire frequencies of one polarity received by the dish to a lower frequency.)
Low Noise Block. The hardware that receives the GBS downlink radio frequency signal from the antenna, amplifies the signal, and converts it to a frequency that can be received by the integrated receiver decoder (IRD).
Low-noise block converter. The point at which a satellite dish focuses its signal. The LNB boosts it to the point where a receiver can deal with it.
Low Noise Block converter - Usually mounted at the focal point of a satellite dish and used to amplify and convert the satellite signals into frequencies then sent to the receiver.
LNB stands for low-noise-block downconvertor. The LNB both amplifies the incoming signal from the feedhorn and downconverts it to a frequency compatible with the input tuning range of the satellite receiver. The LNB is designed to amplify and down convert a range or "block" of frequencies.
Low noise blockdownconverter. An electronic part of a satellite earth station that is used to amplify the signal collected by the reflector and the feedhorn.
(LOW NOISE BLOCK DOWN CONVERTER) A device mounted in the dish, designed to amplify the satellite signals and convert them from a high frequency to a lower frequency. LNB can be controlled to receive signals with different polarisation (see Polarisation). The television signals can then be carried by a double-shielded aerial cable to the satellite receiver while retaining their high quality. A universal LNB is the present standard version, which can handle the entire frequency range from 10.7 to 12.75 GHz and receive signals with both vertical and horizontal polarisation.
Low-Noise Block Downcoverter is usually located on a receive feed of an antenna. The LNB provides the L-band signal for the IRD.
The LNB is the component located at the end of the arm projecting from the satellite dish. It receives the signals sent by the satellite ("Ku-band") and converts them to a lower frequency (3.7-4.2GHz) that can be accepted by a compatible satellite receiver. LNBs send this converted signal to the satellite receiver via RG-6 coaxial cable. DIRECTV currently has satellites in three orbital positions, and a separate LNB is needed to access each satellite position.
Low Noise Block downconverter. Amplifies signals and converts them to microwaves which are then sent down a cable to the receiver. Sometimes also called a feedhorn, though technically the feedhorn is just outside the LNB.
Often mentioned regarding satellite systems, it means Low Noise Blocker. The LNB is mounted in the dish and converts the signal from the orbiting satellite to a lower frequency your receiver can understand.
Low Noise Block Downconverter. Satellite receiving equipment that converts all signals from the LNA to the lower IF frequencies.
LNB (Low Noise Block Converter) is a device placed in the focal point of a satellite dish which amplifies the incoming signal and converts the frequencies for use by a satellite receiver.

ow oise lock down-converter. This is the part of the dish that collects the reflected signal from the curved surface of the dish and converts the whole block of frequencies to a lower range (hence Down Converter) capable of being transmitted down the cable to the digibox, and without generating too much electronic 'noise' into the bargain. Also see 'Antenna'.
Low Noise Block Converter. An electronic device combining a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and Block Down-Converter. The LNB is attached to the waveguide interface of the feed and is part of the Out-Door Unit (ODU). Back to the TOP
LNB is an acronym for Low Noise Block downconverter. This is a device for satellite TV systems that takes the entire band of microwave frequencies and outputs it as lower frequencies that can be received by a compatible receiver. With DTV you can usually get one of two variations. One is a single LNB and lets you connect one IRD, while a dual LNB will allow you to connect two or more devices. However, you will need to use a multiswitch or multiplexer if you wish to connect more then two devices.
Abbreviation for ow oise lock Down Converter. A device within a satellite dish which converts X-Band intermediate frequencies (IF) to lower L-Band intermediate frequencies.
