Hi AMSATERS The CAPE team is having trouble copying the bacon's from out sat below is a table of our receiver noise with different azimuths notice our system temperature terminated in a 50 resistor is 367 deg k and when connected to an antenna ranges from 4000 to 12000 deg k. The noise appears to be white noise
Question 1. Does this seem reasonable? 2. If the noise is not reasonable how to you go about trouble shooting it? 3. We are concerned about the gain of our antenna to help us trouble shoot this question what is the bacon at 145.935 mhz received level on fundcube-1 what is your antenna gain and what range to the sat did you observe the receive level? date frequency(mkz) bandwith (hz) termination (type) Az (deg) Ele (deg) input (dbm) Tempreture (k) 13 11 29 0500 145.825 7000 50 ohm res **** *** -134.5 367 145.825 7000 ant #2 KLM 0 0 -122.8 5433 145.825 7000 ant #2 KLM 90 0 -119.1 12736 145.825 7000 ant #2 KLM 180 0 -123.7 4416 145.825 7000 ant #2 KLM 270 0 -125.9 2661 Thanks nick Office 337 593 8700 Cell 337 258 2527 Helping UL become a world Class Engineering and Educational School _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
