LNB Head for Satellite Dish
We offer a wide range of LNB satellite receiver heads for satellite dishes. The LNB is the receiver unit that is placed on the satellite dish and receives the satellite signal. The satellite receiver head, also known as the LNB, is short for Low-Noise Block Converter and is an antenna head that converts the microwave signals from satellites into a cabled frequency and a signal that can be understood by the digital receiver.

The satellite receiver head
A universal LNB head receives both polarities (horizontal and vertical) and the full frequency range of the satellite's Ku-band. The LNB head, together with the satellite dish, is part of the 'external satellite receiver unit' and is an important part of the satellite reception system.
As microwave signals have a very poor penetration through walls, roofs and windows, the satellite dish with LNB should always be placed outdoors and, of course, pointed in the right direction. Satellite receivers are capable of receiving all digital signals from a single satellite position, e.g. Eutelsat, Astra, etc., which transmit signals from a number of TV channels.
Satellite LNB head types
There are different types and brands of LNBs. The most commonly used types are the following:
- Single LNB head: for a satellite dish with 1 outlet (for a satellite set-top box with 1 DVB-S2 tuner)
- Twin LNB head: for a satellite dish with 2 outlets (2 satellite receivers with DVB-S2 tuner or 2 single satellite receivers for a set-top box)
- Quad LNB head: for one satellite dish with 4 outlets
- Octo LNB head: for a satellite dish with 8 outlets
The Octo LMB is not to be confused with the Quatro LNB! The Quatro LNB is a different type from the above, which has 4 outputs, but these are divided into 4 quadrants of the satellite frequency range. It can only be used with a multiswitch.
Special satellite receiver heads
A monoblock LNB head is a block of 2 or 3 or 4 separate receivers moulded into a single satellite receiver head in order to enable the LNB to receive multiple satellites simultaneously. Available in different versions. These are currently the most commonly used LNBs:
- Duo LNB: this type of LNB receives two satellites simultaneously and is available in Single, Twin and Quad versions, i.e. with 1, 2 or 4 outputs. These LNB heads are suitable for satellite dishes with a diameter of 60-80 cm;
- Triple LNB: this LNB receives three satellites. It can be used with a 60 or 80 cm satellite dish. Available in Quad version only;
- Quad LNB: receives 4 satellites and is suitable for 70-90 cm satellite dishes.
The Unicable LNB head is a new technology designed to meet the need to have fewer cables around or in the house.
The optical LNB head can be a good choice when it is necessary to route the signal to distances above 60-70 meters from the antenna, which the traditional 75 ohm coax cable may no longer be the ideal solution.
