Google Patents US6789307B1 - Methods for aligning an antenna with a satellite – Low Noise Amplifier: 45dB Gain, NF 1.0-1.US6789307B1 - Methods for aligning an antenna with a satellite – Antenna: 1500-2500MHz, RHCP or LHCP, 33dBic Gain – Low Noise Amplifier: 20dB Gain, NF 0.5dB – In-situ signal monitoring with dedicated spectrum analyzer – TX/RX Modulation: 1200bps AFSK, 9600bps FSK (G3RUH) – Transmit Power: >8,000W EIRP (~25kW for emergency commanding) – Low Noise Amplifier: 21dB Gain, NF 0.5dB In addition, the new L/S-band telemetry/telecommand system will allow for direct implementation of IP packet exchanges with satellites, as well as allowing for standard clock/data interfaces for legacy/proprietary flexibility. Infrastructure has been set up to to allow for quick modifications to allow for L/S-band uplinks through this antenna. The antenna is currently configured for reception of telemetry between 2.0-2.5GHz, and can be expanded to work across 1.5-2.5GHz. In 2014, we deployed our first L/S-band antenna, a 2.4m reflector. Kauai Community College serves as our primary site for training satellite operators, and is our primary operational ground station. The ground station is fully operational, and is being used for training and practice satellite passes. The ground station is also manually controllable and assisted with Orbitron.
Using COSMOS, this system is capable of complete automation of satellite contacts. This ground station is integrated with our in-house developed (and open sourced) COSMOS software to facilitate coordination of equipment, and tracking of satellites. Amateur Satellite UHF/VHF Control and L/S-Band Receive StationĪt Kauai Community College, HSFL operates and maintains a UHF, VHF, and L/S-Band VHF amateur ground station for satellite operations.
