Abstract
The parabolic reflector forming part of a satellite station receiver has a surface that is covered with photovoltaic elements e.g. solar cells. The energy from the cells is used to maintain the charge in a battery power pack. The cells are produced from iron and magnetic free material. The electrical energy is used to supply the elements of a receiver such as a polarising element, low noise amplifier, converter and coaxial switches. USE/ADVANTAGE - Reception interference avoided. Environmentally friendly power source. Low cost.
