There are quite a few SDR radios suitable for this application including Airspy Mini and Airspy R2 and the excellent range of radios by SDRPlay. (Photo credits European Space Agency ESA) Here is a photo of 4A-F4, the “business bit” in the middle…it is a huge lump of a thing !Īnd an image of what Inmarsat 4A-F4 “Alphasat ” looks like in space with its solar arrays and reflector extended.Considerably bigger ! The footprint is centred over Africa, coverage is all of Europe, most of Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. This satellite sends and receives messages in L-Band of the microwave radio spectrum, typically around 1.54 ghz. Also its big as far as satellites go.Nicknamed “the A380 of space” It has a mass of 6,649 kg (6.5 tons) and it was launched on board an Ariane 5 Rocket in 2013 from Kourou Spaceport French Guiana by EASA.

The test equipment we were using was a simple sdr radio dongle, a windows laptop running JAERO software and some antenna hardware which will be covered in this article.Īmongst other things, this satellite handles aircraft ACARS data messages, It is very far is in a geostationary orbit around 35,770 kilometres (22,200 miles) above the earth.

He asked me to build a DIY antenna for his proposed ground station. PS If you think that a pi4 could run 8 jaero instances 8400bps I would say that that probably will not be possible.maybe 1 or 2 but 8 instances or more of 600 or 1200 bps may well work.Ī friend of mine wanted to monitor aircraft ACARS data transmissions from the Inmarsat “Alphasat” 4a-F4 satellite. There will be more on Bens page very soon including using Jaero and SDRReceiver with sbcs like Raspberry pi but this is quite new to everybody so please be patient. I am working with Ben to provide feedback on the guide page he has written, it should be possible to include instructions on the page link above for all platforms eventually. It should be your first stop if you are new to installing “the new way” Jaero and SDRReceiver. Ben has used his extensive knowledge in aircraft data decoding to produce a guide for new installers of SDRReceiver, this is being updated regularly. The information may change but the web page links given will not so please check back to those links regularly.Ī webpage has been set up by Aircraft Enthusiast Ben aka “TheBaldGeek” in Southern California. It is possible to use both linux or windows to install both programs so SBCs such as the Raspberry pi4 come fully into play so to speak.Īs I write this amendment to my article, Things are in their infancy so users and program authors are in the experimental stage, please bear with the owners of the links provided.The audio is not routed through Virtual Audio cables so a “full paid for” program is not required.

ini file for 25 East (Alphasat), I remamed the default file to 25eL to indicate 25 east L -Band.īeware, altering/editing the ini file to suit your needs…Do this with caution because even the smallest mistake will result in SDRReceiver will not run when you try to start it or you may get a blank spectrum window with no activity shown when you try to start SDRReceiver,This can also be that you need to reinstall the RTLSDR driver using zadig even though it is already loaded on your PC. ini file for the satellite of your choice, here is a screenshot of what SDRReciever looks like with a default sample. If you follow the instructions you should get the basic receiver running, the crucial part is the.

See the bottom of this page for improvements and download linksĪnd a new way of decoding using a much simplified cross platform receiver called SDRReceiver by author Jeroen Beijer. There is a new release of Jaero v1.0.4.13 by Jonti Olds
