Both require a largish dish antenna, with the downlink requiring a low-noise block downconverter (LNB) and feed horn. The uplink side of [Tech Minds]’ antenna is a helical design, with three-and ...

In this respect, the antenna resembles an acoustic horn. Horn antennas are usually fed by waveguides in: The main operating specifications for horn antennas are operating frequency range and gain. The ...
