    Small Ground Station Configuration 2

    Uploaded by

    The small ground station configuration includes an UHF antenna, VHF antenna, and S-band antenna to receive signals from cubesats and weather satellites. An antenna rotator controlled by Miyamoto's Antenna Controller aims the antennas toward the satellites based on information from the satellite tracking program. The radio receiver and LNA amplify weak satellite signals, which are processed by the satellite tracker, acquisition programs, and PC for data collection and decoding of weather satellite images.

    Miyamoto’s Antenna Controller .
    antenna controller amplifies control signals from the computer and applies the control to the
    antenna rotor. Further it measures the current angles (azimuth and elevation) of the antennas using
    potentiometers. These signals are feed back to the PC.
    Radio Receiver.
    The radio is the ICOM R8500 that is used to received the signal and sent to PC.
    Low-noise amplifier (LNA)
    Used to amplify very weak signals (captured by an antenna). It is usually located very close to the
    detection device to reduce losses in the feedline.
    Antenna.
    1. UHF Yagi antenna –Cubesat
    2. VHF Yagi antenna 137 Mhz-NOAA
    3. S-band Dish antenna –Cubesat
    Satellite Tracking Program.
    Give reference to makes antenna point towards the satellite when it is in range.
