Page 34: Appendix
So LNBs convert satellite frequencies to the lower, easier to transport, band of frequencies referred to as L-Band. It is L-Band frequencies that the S400 PRO receiver tunes to. Older systems used a unit called an LNA (Low Noise Amplifier). This unit amplifies the RF frequency and then transmits the signals down a special (expensive) cable to the receiver. - Page 35 2.0 million bits per second (2.0 Mbps). The important point to remember is that satellite systems send and receive symbols which are then converted into data. The S400 PRO takes the resulting data and forwards it to your computer in bursts called "packets."...
