Description should include
- the components that make up the LNBD, including low-noise amplifier, frequency mixer, local oscillator, and IF amplifier
- the function of each component that makes up the LNBD
- the location of and physical description of the LNBD
- the role of polarization in the transmission of satellite signals.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What components make up an LNBD?
- What is the function of each component of the LNBD?
- Why is the LNBD located behind the antenna feedhorn?
- What is the difference between horizontal/vertical polarization and circular polarization?
- How is polarization used in telecommunications satellite communication?
