Low noise block-downconverter.

A low noise block-downconverter (or LNB) is the receiving device of a parabolic satellite dish antenna of the type commonly used for satellite TV reception. The device is sometimes called an LNA (for low noise amplifier), LNC (for low noise converter) or even LND (for low noise downconverter) but as block-downconversion is the principal function of the device, LNB is the preferred term, although this acronym is often incorrectly expanded to the incomplete descriptions, low noise block or low noise block converter.

To test the LNB (Low Noise Block downconverter) on a satellite dish, you can use a satellite signal meter or a multimeter. First, ensure the dish is properly aligned and connected to the receiver. Then, check the voltage output at the LNB; it should typically be around 13-18 volts when the receiver is turned on. If the voltage is absent or inconsistent, the LNB may be faulty and require replacement.
