10 Technical terms Antenna cable: Connecting cable between the modulator of the satellite receiver and the antenna input of the television set, used as an alternative if no SCART socket is available. AV: see SCART Coaxial cable: Connection cable between LNC and satellite receiver,used to trans- mit the signals received, and to supply current to the LNC. - Page 57 Intermediate frequency: The range of frequencies broadcast by a satellite cannot be transmitted via any cable. The LNC therefore converts the signal received to an intermediate frequency range in the band 950 to 2150 MHz. This can then be transmitted via cable, and processed in the digital receiver.
