Patent ID: 7228101

Claim:
A satellite broadcast reception converter comprising: a chassis including a primary reflector configured to receive radio wave signals from an external parabola antenna, and an output terminal connectable to an external tuner, are positioned a predetermined distance from each other so that signals fed from the primary reflector are amplified and converted into intermediate-frequency output signals and fed out through the output terminal; a circuit board having an end portion connected to the primary reflector and another end portion; and an auxiliary board having an end portion connected to the output terminal via a lead wire and another end portion, wherein the other end portion of the circuit board and the other end portion of the auxiliary board are connected together, and the circuit board and the auxiliary board are laid in a contiguous sequence in the chassis in such a manner that the circuit board is laid closer to the primary reflector and the auxiliary board is laid closer to the output terminal, the circuit board and the auxiliary board are laid in such a way that said other end portion of the circuit board and said other end portion of the auxiliary board are adjacent to but separated from each other, and the other end portion of the circuit board and the other end portion of the auxiliary board are connected together via a pin having a “U” shape in longitudinal section view.
