Introduction/How Does Digital Satellite TV Work?
Introduction
Congratulations! You have purchased one of
Winegard’s latest developments in the mobile satellite reception product line —the Movin’ ViewTM.
This system, used with your digital satellite receiver,
will deliver the best reception possible using GPS
(Global Positioning System) and precision gyroscopes.
How Does Digital Satellite
TV Work?
Satellite programming originates from an “uplink”
facility on Earth — the facility receives many signals
from different sources, combines the signals digitally
and transmits to the satellites. The satellites (22,300
miles above Earth) receive the uplink signal, amplify
it and then transmit it back to earth in the
Ku frequency band. This signal
is concentrated and reflected to
the LNBF* located at the “focal
point” of the dish. The LNBF
amplifies and converts the signal to
the 950 to 2050 MHz range. The signal
is then passed through a coaxial cable
to the receiver where individual channel selection and processing take
place.
