10 GHz LNB with PLL, TCXO and bias tee board
Simply modification of the satellite Low Noise Block - LNB with PLL and 25 MHz X-tal. There is nice 10 GHz Receiver down converter for tropo and satellite with 1 ppm TCXO. You only need some receiver at IF frequency - SDR or classic. Very good frequency stability with built-in TCXO. You can choose between three different version with different IF output frequencies.
Main functions:
- Ku band Low Noise Block - LNB
- Very low noise block - down converter
- 1 ppm temperature stability TCXO built-in
- Input of LNB is designed for 10 to 12,5 GHz
- Vertical and Horizontal polarisation
- Voltage supply +12V for V-pol, +15V for H-pol
- Bias Tee board
- Low Insert loss
- Supply voltage and IF over one coax
- Variable ATTENUATOR in the bias tee
- High voltage / current protection
- RF signal protection limiter - max. signal 20 mW (ver.0.4 and higher)
- Voltage supply +12V for V-pol, +15V for H-pol
- Bias tee connectors: IN (LNB) = F, OUT = SMA and F (F at ver. < 1.x)
- Option: RTL-SDR receiver with 1ppm TCXO
- RTL-SDR USB receiver
- In the metal enclosure
- With 1 ppm TCXO for better stability
- Input SMA connector
- SMA - SMA cable included (17 cm)
- Firmware already installed
- 8 bit, up to 2 MHz of spectrum
- compatible with: HDSDR, SDR console etc.
- Option: 3D printed POTY dual band antenna adapter
- UV stable PETG material
- 22 mm Cu tube diameter
- POTY pipe WG fixed by M4 screw
- ONLY ADAPTER, not 2.4 GHz antenna!

NEW VERSION WITH EXTERNAL REFERENCE
-
This is the 10 GHz Low Noise Block (LNB) modified for external 25 MHz reference for internal PLL. This signal is feeded by the same one coaxial cable as IF down.
Special small Bias Tee box with TCXO or 10 MHz reference signal works as DC injector and also 25 MHz Source for LNB. There is also variable attenuator for IF signal which allows you
to change IF signal from 0 to maximum. You can still switch between V and H polarisation by supply voltage.
