Hi Rob,
oooh boy... yes I do some experiments with a Patch around an LNB (picture 1)… and I don’t success! But it should work, when you remove the plastic enclosure and mount the Patch on the neck of the LNB. I agree, it should be a little bit tricky. But what about the 50 mm Horn? I really don’t know, maybe it works like a director for the Patch???
I also do some experiments with a Helix around the LNB (picture 2). The Helix works quite well. But the 10 GHz Horn does not like it, because of the Helix in front of the Horns mouth.
What we need is a slim LNB (picture 3) with a PLL (and TCXO, OCXO or an external referenz). But until now I could not find such an LNB.
Can somebody help?
