Difference between a Linear and Circular LNB

This has to do with the way the signal is transmitted from the satellite in the sky.
There are two different ways that a satellite can broadcast its signal. If linear, it broadcasts Horizontal and Vertical.
If circular, it broadcasts Right Circular and Left Circular.
To understand this better, imagine the signal coming in like a screw that's turning left or right.

Understanding Circular & Linear Polarizations



insert a tufflon plate like this, to receive circular polarizations

Hi jansagar
Thanks for your post. How does one orientate the tufflon with respect to the probes inside the lnb & with the tufflon inside can someone still be able to receive linear signals?
