Feb 3, 2016 - Both are accomplished using Software Defined Radio and open source. The development of a GNU Radio-based INMARSAT Aero channel.
A subreddit for the low-cost, DIY software defined radio (SDR) community. While originally dedicated just to the project, relevant legal content related to general SDR, RF and similar projects is also welcomed. Feel free to ask questions but please.
Rtl-sdr 'rtl-sdr' is a generic term for cheap USB digital TV (DVB-T) receivers that use the Realtek RTL2832U chipset, which can function as general purpose software defined radios (receive only). All rtl-sdr compatible devices employ the RTL2832U as an ADC and USB controller, but different RF tuners may be used. Note that rtl-sdrs do not transmit! Typical specs (some depend on specific tuner):. Cost: $5-45 USD.
Frequency range: 24 - 1760 MHz (100 KHz - 24 MHz in direct sampling mode). Max sample rate: 3.2 MS/s (2.6 MS/s in practice). Resolution: 8 bits/sample. Noise figure. Probably a lot more if you're inclined to dig and work decoding them. Have you looked into Iridium sats and L-Band weather sats? There are other birds up there too.
You just need to decode their signals, assuming they're aren't encrypted. Just above L-band there are some interesting sats too. There is (or was) a chinese lunar orbiter, and there are several others that can be RX'd with modest resources. Don't forget ATV, digital amateur TV from the space station.
For all that you'll need a downconverter, but I've addressed a VERY cheap option for that in another thread, or you can buy an MMDS downconverter for around $25 from Alibaba.
