Introduction
Congratulations! You have purchased one of
Winegard’s latest developments in the mobile satel-
lite reception product line —the RoadTrip. This
system, used with your digital satellite receiver, will
deliver the best reception possible.
How Does Digital Satellite
TV Work?
Satellite programming originates from an “uplink”
facility on Earth — the facility receives many signals
from different sources, combines the signals digitally
and transmits to the satellites. The satellites (22,300
miles above Earth) receive the uplink signal, amplify
it and then transmit it back to earth in the Ku fre-
quency band. This signal is
concentrated and reflected to the
LNBF* located at the “focal point”
of the dish. The LNBF amplifies and
converts the signal to the 950 to
1450 MHz range. The signal is then
passed through a coaxial cable to the re-
ceiver where individual channel selection
and processing take place.
