Satellite TV Antennas

The term satellite antenna is actually synonymous with satellite dish, and technically, a satellite dish is just a type of antenna. All satellite antennas, from those that range from the very large (tens or hundreds of feet) to the very small in scale (18 inches) have some of the same basic components. Having these basic components is what makes them a satellite antenna.

• Satellite antennas all have a parabolic (in the shape of a shallow bowl) dish, which has the purpose of concentrating the received signals at the focal point of the parabola. This is necessary because the incoming signal is still to weak for any sort of processing.
• At the focal point of the parabola, all satellite antennas have a feedhorn. It is at the feedhorn that the concentrated signal enters the satellite system for amplification, filtering, and processing.
• Once the signal has entered the feed (meaning, the physical wiring of the system) via the feedhorn, it will be amplified and filtered (to remove the noise) by the LNB of the satellite antenna. LNB stands for low noise block down converter.
• Then the newly strengthened signal will enter the processing components of the satellite system, which are not technically part of the satellite antenna. With satellite TV, the signal enters and is processed by the receiver.
