GNU Radio Beacon Receiver, announcement

GNU Radio

Colleagues,

I developed “GNU Radio Beacon Receiver” that measures
total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere by receiveing
150MHz/400MHz beacon signal from satellites in the low-
earth orbit. Detailed information of the receiver is
published in the following URL.

I hope people permit me to call the reciver by this name.

I very much enjoy coherent design and stability of
the USRP and GNU Radio. The receivers are now used
for real ionospheric studies. I hope more people would
use this receiver. Thanks GNU Radio!

Juha V.,
Colleagues,

I listed information of beacon channels and
satellite parameters on the following web page.

Thank you again for the valuable resource you have provided. I will
propose to our observatory that we build some GNU Radio Beacon
Receivers.

BTW, if you are interested, here is our page about ionospheric
tomography. We are currently investigating the possibility of creating
new USRP receivers.

Best regards,
