Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of multi-satellite satellite reception technology, and particularly relates to a high-frequency head device system with integrated satellite selection function. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing abundance of satellite TV programs, the demand for simultaneously receiving and watching multiple satellite TV programs is constantly growing. To meet this demand, one can choose to add satellite antennas, satellite LNBs, and satellite switching switches to achieve the requirement of receiving multiple satellites, or design and develop an integrated die-cast multi-satellite LNB based on the location and polarization angle of the receiving satellites.

[0003] However, multi-satellite receivers are inconvenient to install and costly, especially in high-rise buildings where rooftop space is limited and there isn't enough room to install multiple satellite antennas. Furthermore, multi-satellite receivers have long design cycles, high mold-making costs, and high transportation costs. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a high-frequency head device system integrating star selection function is disclosed, the system comprising:

[0031] The system includes satellite LNB 1 (A), satellite LNB 2 (B), satellite LNB 3 (C), RF connection cable assembly, and LNB bracket 4. Satellite LNB 2 (B) is used to output signals and transmit them to the satellite set-top box via the RF connection cable assembly. The satellite set-top box sends DiSEqC commands to control the switching of signals from the three satellites.

[0032] The system includes two general-purpose low-cost satellite LNBs, satellite LNB 1 (A) and satellite LNB 3 (C), and a satellite LNB 2 (B) with integrated satellite selection function. Satellite LNB 2 has two input ports and one output port. The two input ports are connected to the signals of the two general-purpose low-cost satellite LNBs via RF connection cables. The one output port outputs a signal to the satellite set-top box for signal reception. The three satellite LNBs are fixed to the satellite antenna via LNB brackets 4 to receive television programs from three adjacent satellites.

[0033] The LNB 1 for satellite A, the LNB 2 for satellite B, and the LNB 3 for satellite C are all mounted on the LNB bracket 4. The LNB 1 for satellite A and the LNB 2 for satellite B, as well as the LNB 3 for satellite C and the LNB 2 for satellite B, are connected by radio frequency connecting cables.

[0034] The RF cable assembly uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable and is waterproof and UV resistant.

[0035] The LNB bracket 4 is made of ABS material with added UV-resistant materials, giving it UV protection. The position for installing the LNB on the bracket was determined through simulation and actual reception verification.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the radio frequency connection line group includes D radio frequency connection line 5, D radio frequency connection line 6 and D radio frequency connection line 7;

[0037] The D-radio connection cable 5 is used to connect satellite A LNB 1 and satellite B LNB 2;

[0039] The D radio frequency connection line 7 is the output radio frequency connection line of the B satellite LNB 2.

[0040] The design of general-purpose, low-cost LNBs for satellites A (LNB 1) and C (LNB 3) involves horizontal and vertical polarization to amplify the received satellite signals with low noise. The amplified signals are then transmitted to a phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency reduction integrated circuit, which reduces the received 10.7-12.75 GHz satellite signals to an intermediate frequency (IF) of 950-2150 MHz. The signals are then output from the output port to the LNB with integrated satellite selection function.

[0041] The design of satellite LNB B with integrated satellite selection function involves horizontal and vertical polarization amplifying the received satellite signals with low noise, and then transmitting the amplified signals to the phase-locked loop down-frequency integrated circuit. The received 10.7-12.75GHz satellite signals are down-frequencyd to 950-2150MHz intermediate frequency signals, and then transmitted to the satellite signal switching circuit 17. The satellite switching circuit also receives signals from two other general-purpose low-cost satellite LNBs before outputting them.

[0042] Among them, the components of satellite LNB 1 (A), satellite LNB 2 (B), and satellite LNB 3 (C) are made by die casting, while the outer shell and satellite LNB bracket 4 are made by injection molding.

[0043] The satellite signal switching circuit 17 simultaneously receives signals from LNB 1 of satellite A and LNB 2 of satellite B. The satellite switching switch circuit outputs a signal through the output port of LNB 2 of satellite B, and the signal is transmitted to the satellite set-top box through the radio frequency connection line.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the A satellite LNB 1 includes:

[0045] A vertically polarized low-noise amplifier 8, A horizontally polarized low-noise amplifier 9, and A phase-locked loop down-conversion integrated circuit 10.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the B satellite LNB 2 includes:

[0047] B Vertical polarization low noise amplifier 11, B Horizontal polarization low noise amplifier 12 and B Phase-locked loop down-conversion integrated circuit 13.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the C-satellite LNB 3 includes:

[0049] C-vertical polarization low noise amplifier 14, C-horizontal polarization low noise amplifier 15, and C-phase-locked loop down-conversion integrated circuit 16.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
