Used as an alternative where no SCART socket is available External unit or installation: Description used for the entire system of components located outdoors, consisting of the parabolic/offset dish as well as one or more LNBs used to receive signals from one or seve- ral satellites...
  • Page 100 LNB/LNC (Low Noise Block converter): Reception unit at the focal point of the antenna, converts the frequency range of the satellite into the intermediate frequen- cy of the digital receiver. LOF: Local oscillator frequency: stated in terms of MHz or GHz; varies depending on the LNB and the frequency range recei- ved.
  • Page 101 Transponder: Located on the satellite, processes one or several program- mes there, ie. it receives the data from the transmitting sta- tion on the ground, amplifies the signal and broadcasts it back to earth. Universal LNB: Designed to receive the ranges FFS (10,70 - 11,70 GHz), BBS (11,70 - 12,50 GHz) and FFS High Band (12,50 - 12,75 GHz).
