Patent ID: 7982687

Claim:
An antenna unit for receiving signals transmitted from a plurality of communications satellites at a plurality of orbital slots, comprising: a first reflecting surface; a frequency selective reflective surface, and a plurality of low noise block down converters with feedhorns (LNBFs), wherein at least a first LNBF is placed on the antenna unit in a first location and receives at least first signals at a first frequency band from a first orbital slot and at least a second LNBF is placed on the antenna unit at a second location and receives at least second signals at a second frequency band from a second orbital slot, wherein the first signals reflect from the first reflecting surface and transmit through the frequency selective surface and the second signals reflect from the first reflecting surface and also reflect from the frequency selective surface, and wherein gain of the first signals in the first frequency band is optimized over gain of the second signals in the second frequency band.
