摘要

The functionality of the Satellite depends on the payload, which contributes to the majority of work in extracting the data in a satellite. The purpose of the satellite payload is to support national security initiatives, advance space exploration, monitor the Earth, collect scientific data, or provide communication services, it is specifically designed to meet these goals. A transponder (Communication device) is responsible for establishing a communication link with the ground station. Ground Station is a basic communication element that receives data/signal transmitted by the transponder of the satellite. In the project, we proposed to build a student-level Ground Station to receive data from source Satellites such as Weather satellites and ISS (International Space Station). A Ground Station is a terrestrial radio station that is designed for extra-planetary and other Satellite communication purposes. The Ground Stations communicate with spacecraft by transmitting and receiving radio waves in VHF (30 to 300 MHz) and UHF (300 MHz to 3 GHz). The major components that are involved in building a Ground Station are SDR, Raspberry Pi, Antenna. There are many antennas used for receiving a signal such as the Yagi-Uda antenna, Patch antenna, Log-Periodic antenna, Helical antenna, and V-Dipole antenna. In this project, a Log periodic antenna that works at 100 MHz to 500 MHz is proposed to receive the signals from NOAA-15 (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) [1] at the frequency of 162.400–162.550 MHz for broadcasting weather information.
