This paper presents the design and simulation of a typical Ka band satellite beacon receiver for propagation experimentation. Using satellite beacon signal as a reference signal in satellite wave propagation study, is one of the most important methods. Satellite beacons are frequently available for pointing large antennas, but such signals can be used for measuring the effect of natural phenome...

This paper describes the design and development of a digital satellite beacon receiver for propagation experimentation. Satellite beacons are frequently available for pointing large antennas, but such signals can be used for measuring rain attenuation and other phenomena as, for example, tropospheric scintillation. A fairly inexpensive beacon receiver has been built using off-the-shelf parts. T...

A functional description of a communications satellite beacon receiver is presented. The system, designed primarily for LES-5/6, is capable of reliable unattended operation, and provides a frequency and time reference for fixed and highly mobile satellite communications terminals. Theoretical and experimental data are given, with particular emphasis on automatic acquisition and tracking of the ...

The design of a low-cost beacon receiver based on software defined radio is presented. The motivation for such a receiver is to investigate atmospheric impairments at the Ka frequency band. The receiver has been tested by the Hotbird 13A, ASTRA 3B and Alphasat satellite beacon signals. A GNU Radio software development toolkit and a USRP device were used for the development of a beacon receiver ...

[1] Observations of high-latitude plasma structure and scintillation are presented from the January 2001 scintillation campaign timeframe. Comparisons are made using the all-sky imager and two beacon-satellite ground receivers located at Sondrestrom, Greenland. The Coherent Ionospheric Doppler Receiver (CIDR) observes 150and 400-MHz signals transmitted from low-Earth-orbiting satellites. The 25...
