GOES DIGITAL SATELLITE RECEIVER
DIRECT READOUT GROUND STATION

TYPICAL SYSTEM

Antenna, 5 meter prime focus

Integrated feed/LNA/ downconverter (LNB)

DSR receiver (Digital Satellite Receiver) with a network connection

1 or more PCs to run software pilot tracking & software demodulators

FEATURES
  • Pilot tone (beacon) tracking & DCP demodulators are implemented completely in software on PCs.
  • A single PC supports up to 100 channels of any baud (100, 300 or 1200).
  • Multiple PCs can support 100 channels or more! Once the DSR II receiver is installed, standard PCs plus DSR software support as many channels as needed.
  • User-defined software demodulators monitor any DCP channel, 100, 300 or 1200 baud.
  • The software provided with the system performs all the needed system functions to setup and operate the DDRGS.
  • User-friendly Windows set-up
  • A monitor program is provided to give a quick yet detailed view of the status of the beacon tracking & each of the demodulators.
  • The DCP message data can be recorded on the PC or retrieved via a standard TCP/IP socket interface.
  • NTP time synchronization
