Signal disturbance on Intelsat 10 (Area of Use: Middle East - Country: Qatar)

[naniababa4u]

There is constant drop out of C band signals on Intelsat 10 due to wireless disturbance. Can anybody suggest solution to this problem. I am already using single solution Cband LNB. Is there any better LNB available in the market which blocks most of the wireless disturbance.

Interference exploits lack of immunity.

Lack of immunity stems from such things as poor quality cabling, joints, inadequately screened faceplates etc.

Eliminate those factors and, if the problem remains, try ferrite rings.

hello,
there could be many reasons why there is interfearance.
cell phone tower close to where you live.
bad cable from the dish to the receiver
wi-fi router close to your receiver .
to fix it one must know where it is comming from.
is there a nabor having the same problem next door receiving c band and same channel?
newer cable from the dish and a small amplifier will probably reduce this problem.
larger dish may as well.
i would first see if your nabor is experience the problem.
second try a better cable.
then a small amplifier mounted close to the lnb by the dish.

Most interference on a “C” band dish could be from local radar, cell phone, cordless phone or newer WIFI modems, anything that transmits at a frequency that can be multiplied by 2, 4, 8 or 16 times that of your “C” band input frequency can cause a problem, these are called harmonics, these harmonics can be eliminated or reduced by using a band pass filter.
Adjacent channel interference can also cause problems, anything transmitting above or below the satellite “C” band can swamp the input of the LNB
“C” band bandpass filters can be installed at the LNB on the dish but you need the right type to fit your LNB, and no guarantees that it will help.

Look here for more info on these filters.

1) Dig a large hole (depth should be approximately the diameter of the dish) with trough opening towards satellite.
2) Put dish in hole and align to satellite.
3) Report back on findings.
