RSP2Pro Configured for Inmarsat L-Band

Post by FleetingGlimpse » Sat May 26, 2018 9:55 pm

Greetings,
A few test sessions ago I constructed what I have labeled as a 'Cantenna Helix' which I then used to signal feed the RSP2Pro tuned to a swath of L-Band Inmarsat Frequencies.


For those Forum members whom are not 'Tweeters' , out of courtesy i decided i would, (as i have been doing since i subscribed to this forum ) post a few links to my Works as they played out on power up


Here are the Helix works :

I also incorporated a NooElec Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) & SAW Filter Module. as seen shown here: https://twitter.com/fearlesslyloyal/sta ... 9077557248

Here are a few screen grabs of the RSP2Pro with the above mentioned config.

As evident there are quite few L-Band Carriers with usable SNR's. and that is solely from using the Helix as a standalone antenna. I also configured the Cantenna Helix as Feed for a FTA Dish.

I did not a chance to document the results of thr RSP2Pro configured as such (it was a whopper of a signal )The next time i have the Dish pointed at Inmarsat4-F3 Satellite,i will screen grab the the 'whopper' of a signal the RSP2Pro pulled in, and post them.

I did not attempt at decoding any of the Inmarsat packets.For me it was done to verify that Spectrum of reception of the RSP2Pro.

I intend to extend the number of tuns of the Helix Cantenna and explore another band of frequencies to verify how well the unit RX's.

I have in mind a specified set of conditions i would like to utilize the RSP2Pro unit(S) on.

Best Regards. Storminorm
