Scope

The aim of this project is to capture satellite signals with a hand-made antenna and make the corresponding corrections in order to visualize correct data. NOAA-15, NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 are the tested satellites.

Tools

The following tools are necessary for the implementation of the project:

  • RTL-SDR
  • Antenna
  • Gpredict program
  • GNU Radio
  • Matlab

Antenna

NOAA satellites are operating in the frequency range of 137 MHz till 138 MHz, so a V dipole antenna has been built. Some details can be found at "HARDWARE" directory.

GNU Radio

The NOAA signal is captured by a RTL-SDR and correctly processed in a GNU Radio diagram. Signal processing is implemented in real time, receiving as a result an APT image (with doppler effect and noise). These diagrams can be found at SOFTWARE/GNU

Doppler Effect

When the APT image has been captured and saved, the doppler effect is corrected by a linear regression in Matlab. The scripts can be found at SOFTWARE/DOPPLER directory.

Additional Information

Further information can be found at "Documentation" where all the references and details are contained.
