Abstract
Various embodiments implement waveguides for signal distribution or signal filtering in satellite receivers. According to some embodiments, a low noise block downconverter (LNB) is implemented using waveguides configured for signal distribution, band pass filtering, low pass filtering, high pass filtering, or band stop filtering. For some embodiments, the waveguides may be formed by the LNB chassis and the ground plane of a printed circuit board mounted to the LNB chassis.
