Feed horn

A feed horn is a part of a satellite dish that looks like a big funnel or a horn (like a megaphone). The feed horn sits right in the middle of the dish and is used to collect the signals that come from the satellite.

Imagine you are standing in a large field with a basket held out in front of you. The basket would help you collect things that are thrown at you from all directions. The feed horn is just like that basket - it collects signals that are coming from all different directions in space.

Once the signals are collected by the feed horn, they are sent down a small wire called a waveguide, which connects the feed horn to the receiver inside your home or office. The receiver then decodes the signals and turns them into pictures, sound, and other data that you can see on your TV or use on your computer.

So, in short, the feed horn is like a big basket that collects signals from space and sends them down to your TV or computer through a wire.
