Integrated multi-sat LNB and frequency translation module

A system for receiving modulated satellite signals, comprising:

• at least one antenna;
• a module, coupled to the at least one antenna, the module comprising:
• a plurality of translators for translating the modulated satellite signals to a modulated intermediate frequency band of signals;
• a plurality of analog-to-digital converters, integrated with the plurality of translators, for digitizing the modulated satellite signals;
• a digital signal processor, for filtering the digitized modulated intermediate band of signals and for combining the filtered digitized modulated intermediate band of signals into a composite signal;
• and
• a receiver, coupled to the module, wherein the receiver receives the composite signal in the intermediate frequency band.

An integrated antenna, comprising:

• a plurality of translators, for translating the signals received by the antenna into an intermediate frequency band of signals;
• a plurality of converters, integrated with and coupled to the plurality of translators, for digitizing the intermediate frequency band of signals into a plurality of modulated data streams;
• a digital processing section, coupled to the plurality of converters, wherein the digital processing section at least filters the plurality of modulated data streams;
• and
• a combining section, coupled to the processing section, for combining the plurality of modulated data streams into a combined data stream, the combined data stream being output on a single output.
