Understanding the Frequency of Ku-Band LNB Local Oscillators

Introduction to Ku-Band LNBs Ku-Band LNBs, or Low Noise Block downconverters, are integral components of satellite communication systems. The Ku-Band, short for “Kurz-under band,” encompasses frequencies from 12 to 18 GHz. This band fits between C-Band (4 to 8 GHz) and Ka-Band (26.5 to 40 GHz), offering a higher frequency range that supports various telecommunication …
