Ground Station

The Ground Station is a terrestrial radio station for satellite communications with the main transceiver based on an embedded computer connected to a software defined radio (SDR) device covering most satellite bands including UHF, VHF and, S bands.

The EGS is presented in a 19-inch rack standard enclosure and controlled from a modern standard computer with the capacity to perform baseband signal processing

By default, the EGS product is designed to work with the rotor spid BIG-RAS-HR installed in the antenna location of the ground station. This rotor is controlled from one of the modules in the rack including the controller and the power supply. For the use of the rotor, an open source software is used for satellite traking (GPredict) to control automatically the azimuth and elevation angles. The rotor is included in the product, but it is possible to get the EGS module without it.
