 Low-noise block converter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A low-noise block converter ( LNB, for low-noise block, or sometimes LNC, for low-noise converter) is used in communications satellite (usually broadcast satellite) reception.
If low noise engineering techniques were not used, the sound and picture of satellite TV would be very low quality, if it could even be received at all without a much larger dish reflector.
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.

 Satellite dish LNB low noise block down converter
In the old days, LNB noise figures were high, the gain (amplification) was low and satellite transponder power was typically 20 Watts.
You need to cut the losses as low as possible and provide an accurate adjustment for "skew" which is the rotational angle at which your dish receives the signal from the satellite.
Even if you get a print out of the actual noise figures and gain performance when you buy your LNB, you have to bear in mind that these measurements were made in a factory under ideal conditions with the LNB receiving (probably) 18 volts and feeding an exact impedance of 75 Ohms.

 Tech Note 3
The Block UpConverter or “BUC” and the Low Noise Block DownConverter or “LNB” now each contain a single fixed local oscillator, not required to tune for operation over the entire satellite band covering all transponders.
Thus the phase noise on the oscillator must be extremely low and probably cannot be viewed directly on a spectrum analyzer.
Includes a low noise RF front end and single down conversion stage to L-Band frequencies.

 VertexRSI LT-3600 Up/Down Converters Drive SATCOM Performance and Keep Costs Low
Both up and down converters can feed DC power and a 10 MHz reference out of the transmit or receive ports to supply either a phase-locked Block Up Converter (BUC) or Low Noise Block Converter (LNB).
Each converter features an on-board micro controller that can be accessed by a front panel keypad or an RS-232 or RS-422/485 interface located on the rear panel.
L-Band converters use frequency synthesizers designed and produced in high volume for cellular and PCS applications, which makes them more cost-effective to buy.

 LNB down converter modifications for X-band
Virtually without any retuning these block converters will yield a 1.0 to 1.1 dB noise figure and about 27 dB of gain at 10368 MHz..
The only modifications are the removal of the DRO/mixer down converter assembly, the addition of an output connector and feed thru capacitor and jumpering over a 12 GHz band pass filter on the PC board.
There is no difference in noise figure performance with either a WR75 or WR90 transition feeding the amplifier.

 Radio wave receiving converter and antenna device - US Patent 6819299
The present invention generally relates to a radio wave receiving converter (LNB: Low Noise Block down Converter) for receiving a radio wave from satellite, and to an antenna device.
An object of the present invention is to improve the workability regarding a connection of feed horn portions of a radio wave receiving converter, and to improve the reliability of the radio wave receiving converter by maintaining ensured air tightness at a feed horn connected portion.
The converted signal is sent through a cable and an indoor receiving equipment, for example, a satellite receiver 24 to a television 25.

 Allegro Product 8283
Intended for analog and digital satellite receivers, the low-noise block converter regulator (LNBR) is a monolithic linear and switching voltage regulator designed to provide power and interface signals to the LNB down converter via the coaxial cable.
If the device is in stand-by mode (EN terminal LOW), the regulator output is disabled, allowing the antenna downconverters to be supplied or controlled by other satellite receivers sharing the same coaxial cable.
A tracking current-mode buck converter provides the linear regulator with an input voltage that is set to the output voltage plus typically 0.8 V. This maintains constant voltage drop across the linear regulator while permitting adequate voltage range for tone injection.

 Radio Road - Re: Isn't the dish also an Antenna? - Chris from RI, January 19, 2005 at 14:21:25
Then there is also the issue of the low noise block converter (LNB) at the dish's feedpoint requiring DC injection from the satellite receiver.
If it was designed to receive C-Band or Ku-Band satellite service (both in the microwave frequency region) then it will not work properly for the FM band (VHF frequency region).
As was previously mentioned, any directional "beam" type antenna will easily outperform a vertical whip.
