We are used to poing our dish antenna to the satellite and receive TV, NEWs Entertainment. They are in Geo-statitonary orbit. Antenna remains constant. Satelite and earth moves with same speed. But LEO satelites does not give constant view. It moves around earth in elliptical orbit. Its speed and earths are different. At one point they are very near to the earth 300 km and at other point they are far /1200km . So, when they are near we can receive good, work them with very low power transitters. If they are very far from us they become useless. We choose this orbit due to low budget, easy of ground stations connectivity, low cost equipment, easy to put into orbit ( rides on some big rockets at no real cost.) and we can make it at our school, home with easy.
Lets begin::: It all began with this ckt, have a good look. From this all other things are derived. First transistor is an RF amplifier. Two back to back diodes forms the sub-harmonics mixers. Second transistor is AF amplifier. The gain of This AF/RF amp depends on Rc/ Rb. If you find the gain is little low try experimenting with it. 470k/4k7 will give gain of 100. The choice of transistor will determine the gain as well as noise. The RF transistor should have high ft ( gain bandwith product) that way it will produce good signal. In my experiments I found that bc547c, bc547b gave different gain. ![]() |
