LNB stands for Low Noise Block. This device amplifies the weak incoming signal from the satellite and converts it to a signal that is usable by the television.
Microwave Radio Frequencies (RF) does not travel through dense metals. A metal roof would block the signal. If you try to get your position on a GPS inside the temple and cannot, then the satellite signals are blocked.
if tere are enough branches in the way - yes. --------------- At my friends house he can receive satellite in the winter when there are no leaves on the trees.however when the trees leaf up in the spring the satellite signal is too weak to be of any use...Come the fall, when the leaves drop, the signal comes back and his satellite works again.
Transmit another signal using the same carrier frequency to interfere with the original signal...also known as "jamming". If you have two signals using the same carrier frequency, and you add a second signal source with the same carrier frequency, and an a stronger amplitude (intensity), but different signal data, then it mixes with the original signal at the receiving end, and the original signal cannot be clearly decoded.
The speed of a satellite signal is approximately the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second. This means that signals transmitted from a satellite to Earth or vice versa travel at this high speed.
There are many reasons why you may have no signal from your satellite. Your service could have been disconnected for example.
The satellite signal uses microwave radiation and water absorbs microwaves. So when it rains or there are thick clouds the signal from the satellite gets absorbed and if enough is lost by this process your Dish Network receiver will lose signal
The satellite signal can be blocked by various things.
A satellite receievr, is a tv receiver, which connects to the satellite anntena, than to your tv, and decodes the information coming from the satellite signal into video and audio signal, so you can watch tv channels.
A satellite antenna has one very important purpose. It is designed to allow a home to receive a satellite signal, which then allows users to receive a television signal.
In satellite communication, up link refers to the signal traveling up to the satellite while down link refers to the signal coming from the satellite down to earth.
It sends a signal directly to the satellite and the satellite pinpoints the location of it.
