39.402 GHz Satellite Beacon Receiver

Project Details

Description

A satellite beacon receiver is designed for research and educational purposes. To provide data to investigate possible weather induced scattering processes, a complex valued dual branch architecture is chosen, operating in the Q-band.
The receiver system is designed with complex valued data recording and flexible sampling rate. A compromise is necessary, between need of large dynamic range (narrow antenna beam width) vs. wish of relative wide antenna illumination of possible scattering clouds. A further challenge is due to data being recorded raw in time domain- while analysis requires frequency domain extraction. This causes excessive data storage and difficult event detection.
