corotor wideband

[coinmaster32]

Can it be used on a regular lnb

 

[coinmaster32]

I have done some reading and the corotor wideband is used for circular c band signals. Will there be much of a drop using this on a regular c band lnb instead of using a regular corotor? Thanks

im usin the wideband feed on my bud. . .but i cant seem to understand what you are tryin to find out exactly.

I am trying to find out if I use a standard linear polarity lnb on cband, will it be affected due to a different design in comparison to the standard corotor.

ok lets see if i can explain this to help you help us. . .

the corotors/corotor II are just the feedhorns which you bolt your c or ku band LNBs to.

and lnb by it self dont carry polarity, the feed does this.

Then Why is a wideband feedhorn needed? Why cant a wideband lnb work on a standard feedhorn?

 

[greenguy]

the wideband feed is for if you are lookin for both linear and circular c band and linear ku band on one feed horn.

there is NO wideband LNB. . .the feed horn is what makes the difference.

this is the feedhorn, with this you slap what ever lnb you like on there.

how can a feedhorn make a difference in the signal the lnb receives?

 

[greenguy]

not the feed exactly. . .but the dielectric plate which is inside. . .

here is how it works. . .
