hi everyone ...
can i make satellite finder by arduino

Looks like a signal strength meter. Probably has to feed power to the LNA/BD (Low Noise Amplifier / Block Downconverter).

You can get one on eBay for $7.24 (free shipping). Why would you want to make one based on a $30 Arduino?

Haha, my bro.
is not important money. Important science ..
I want to learn all the things about Arduino

To learn Arduino you might want to start with a way of displaying an analog input. You can use this tutorial to learn the basics of analog input: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Potentiometer

Then you need to decide how you want to display the value. You can use a 7-segment numeric display, an LCD for text output, a servo to move a pointer, or some other method I have not thought of. How do you want your "satellite finder" to indicate signal strength to the user?

I want display to see strength of the satellite dish
For example, Hotbird
THANK U SER FOR REPLY

The Arduino has no display. What kind of display do you want to add to the Arduino?

How will you know you have Hotbird and not some other satellite? There are tons of them up there.
