The following diagram shows a typical block diagram
for a twin universal LNB design. The ZLNB2012 device
provides the two polarity and two tone switches
required to decode the two independent receiver
feeds. The device is also able to detect the absence of a
revceiver connection to either port of the LNB
providing all outputs to go high hence disabling of the
port. This allows the avoidance of unwanted signal
reflections from an unterminated down feed cable.
Additionally the front end bias requirements of the LNB
are provided by the ZNBG4000 or ZNBG6000 offering a
very efficient and cost effective solution
