Appendix A
How to Set up the Skew Angle
Signals transmitted in vertical and horizontal wave
offset exactly 90º from each other. Since linear satellite
signals are oriented in a precise cross pattern, Free
Way 1S antenna’s receiving element, called an LNB
(low-noise block) must be oriented in the same way to
optimize reception. This orientation adjustment is
referred to as the LNB’s “skew angle.” The correct skew
setting varies depending on your geographic location,
since the orientation of your antenna to the satellite
changes as you move. This appendix provides how to
set up the skew angle.
The SATFI UK antenna is pre-configured with 14deg
skew for UK operation and should not require LNB
skew adjustment when operating within UK & Eire.
