Low noise block down-converter with integrated feed
An LNBF is disclosed. The LNBF includes a housing, a spacer, down-converter circuit, and an F-connector. The spacer is disposed on the housing, wherein a hole is formed on the spacer. The down-converter circuit board is disposed between the housing and the spacer. The F-connector is disposed on the spacer and electrically connected to the down-converter circuit board via the hole.
1. A low noise block down-converter with integrated feed (LNBF), comprising:
a housing;
a spacer disposed on the housing, wherein a hole is formed on the spacer;
a down-converter circuit board disposed between the housing and the spacer; and
an F-connector disposed on the spacer and electrically connected to the down-converter circuit board via the hole;
wherein the down-converter circuit board is fixed on a first side of the spacer, and the F-connector is disposed on a second side opposite the first side of the spacer.
2. The LNBF of claim 1 , wherein after the down-converter circuit board and the F-connector are fixed on the first side of the spacer, an assembly of the down-converter circuit board, the F-connector, and the spacer is disposed on the housing.
3. The LNBF of claim 1 , wherein the down-converter circuit board is a printed circuit board.
4. The LNBF of claim 1 , wherein the F-connector comprises:
a connector body fixed on the spacer; and
