No-Rotator
No-Rotator
Information
Type: No-Rotator ground station for SatNOGS network.
Cost:
Release Information
Status: Working
Latest Release: [ ]
Repository: []
Documentation: []
 


No-Rotator ground station uses a static antenna usually in VHF. A Turnstile antenna that tunes at ~137MHz is used for NOAA satellites. Some Turnstile antenna design, are wide enough to receive VHF band at 144 - 146 MHz. For more vertical satellite passes, UHF Helical antennas receive satellites at 432 - 438 MHz, e.g. [1]

Same setup could be used for a ground station with rotator.
