Best Answer

There's only one:

-- In a receiving dish, the collected and focused electromagnetic energy changes

to electrical energy in the feed, LNA, or LNB at the focus of the dish.

-- In a transmitting dish, the electrical energy of the transmitter changes to electromagnetic

energy, either at the focus of the dish if the transmitter is mounted there, or else at the

end of a hollow waveguide that escorts it to the focus of the dish.

How do you draw a satellite link in a computer schematic?

Graphically you'd draw a stylised satellite (in orbit) and satellite dish (on the ground), with a dashed line between the two. If the dish is both transmitter and receiver, use arrowheads in both directions. If it is a receiver only, arrowheads should point from the satellite to the dish.


What device modulates outgoing signals and demodulates incoming signals?

To receive a Satellite signal, you need a LNB which is attached to your satellite dish--The LNB and dish is determined by which satellite TV service you have--either Dish Network or DirecTV. The satellite dish is pointed in a particular direction to pick up the correct satellite orbiting the sky. You will also need a satellite receiver, which is "wired" to the LNB and also is attached to your television.

Are Passive reflectors used in both Active and passive Satellite system?

Yes. The most common antenna for satellite systems is the 'Dish'.The dish is a parabolic , passive, reflector.It merely reflects and concentrates the signal to the LNB receiver.Transmission also works this way, bouncing the signal off the dish, to concentrate it in one direction, in a narrow beam.


Why do LNB's have to be mounted close to the satellite dish?

The LNB takes the signal reflected off the dish, sends that signal through the coax cable to the receiver, where the receiver decodes the signal unlocking the channels you subscribe to.

What do satellite dishes do?

A satellite dish is just a reflector of radio waves, and made in the shape of a parabola. The actual aerial bit is placed at the focus of the parabola, so you are getting all the energy that fell on the area of the dish. It will receive the energy transmitted from a particular satellite - usually an entertainment one.

What is the best TV satellite system for a motorhome?

It depends on what kind of motorhome and when you want to watch Dish TV. If you will be mobile and wanting television, you will need a self adjusting satellite dish; there are also stationary satellite dishes available.
