What you mean is a LNB Low Noise Block converter....

AAMOI (well, to me, anyway) is there, or was there, such a thing as an HNB?


Its all relative:-))

FWIW when you receive microwave signals you need to have as low noise
amplifier and frequency converter as possible, in order to make up the
gain loss in the overall system, so hence the lo noise bit, obviously
the lower the noise figure the better the performance of your receiving
system....

Without going into a lecture about it all......
