Update Keplers: This will ensure that your software has the information about the satellite passes.

But you can still download the free version of the software on the internet. PLEASE NOTE: The software is no longer being developed and the site has been down. Many improvements, including ALSA audio support under Linux and Banana Pi (and other ARM) support can be found in the 2.11.2 beta. The one thing you will need regardless of the hardware you pick is the decoding software: I also added the balun (coax wrap on top) as well as the preamp as seen in the picture. My design in a combination of a few I found online. Everything I needed I got in a 30 minute home depot trip. It is a home brew antenna made entirely of PVC pipes and copper pipes. The Antenna I use (on the W6AER Antenna Farm) is pictured below. Lastly the Double Cross Antenna (DCA) will not screw you over! It is actually my second favorite and is easy to build, works well and can even be purchased commercially. In fact I would say this is a good initial test, not good for a permanent installation.

The V-Dipole Antenna is basically like the old rabbit ear TV antennas tilted. Easier to build, might be good to experiment with. Just look online!įor the Turnstile Axial Mode Antenna, if you choose to build your own, visit here. These are also available commercially and some people make them for you as well if you have no time. Here is an online calculator to help you with your design. These can be made from copper wire or copper pipe (the one I picked). There are a ton of plans on the internet for designing these. The Quadrifilar Helix (QFH) Antenna seems to have the better reception of any of the others. Here are some of the common antenna types: There are many different designs and you may even have some luck with a good old fashioned 2m ham radio antenna. This ideally should be a circular polarized one. This seems to work by far the best for me. The one I used is pictured below and I use this in conjunction with a Signalink USB Soundcard I had laying around. It WILL give you better images if you do compensate for this obviously, but not needed. The dedicated receiver will take care of the doppler issues as will some plugins with some of the SDR software if you are concerned about this. If you are not compensating for doppler effect the receiver bandwidth should be set to 50 kHz or so to receive all the data of the modulated signal. The signal is 30+ kHz wide signal which prevents narrow FM modulation receivers from being used. Note that Scanners and the ham radios may have bandwidth issues. I have used ALL of the above at some point and had pretty good luck with all the AirSpy and even better with the HackRF One or the dedicated receiver below I own WeSatCom APT-06 from Germany were tied for first place. You can look at the photos of the inside of this unit as well as some other similar units on my PiAware ADS-B pages of this website. This unit is easy to find, including one here on Amazon.

Needless to say the NOAA APT satellites orbit (move around the earth) and they pass a few times overhead at each location on earth, generally twice a day but at times more passes can be captured. If you are interested in building a receiver for these, please visit the Setting up a GOES Geosynchronous Weather Satellite Receiver using a Raspberry Pi page on this website. GOES satellites are very directional and use 1.6941GHz.
