TA0321 TECHNICAL ARTICLE Lightning protection for LNB supply and control voltage regulator Introduction Communication satellites operate within two frequency bands for TV/Broadband service broadcast signals, C Band and Ku Band. Within these bands each satellite has a specific uplink and downlink frequency allocation. C Band downlink frequency is 3.7 GHz-4.2 GHz and uplink frequency is 5.925 GHz-6.425 GHz To use the frequencies that are available for satellite broadcast as efficiently as possible, and to accommodate an additional number of channels within a given frequency band, the transmission signal can be formatted to be either vertical and horizontal, or circular right-hand and circular left-hand simultaneously per frequency.

An LNB is a low noise block module, placed on the focus of the satellite dish antenna (parabola) that provides the following functions:
● Down conversion of the incoming signal from GHz range to the 910 MHz - 2150 MHz (for Europe) range called “first conversion signal”.
● Down conversion of the incoming signal from GHz range to the 910 MHz - 2150 MHz (for Europe) range called “first conversion signal”.
