ARLA/CLUSTER: FUNCube SDR serve como Radiotelescopio

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

FUNCube SDR Radio Telescope

Dr David Morgan has released a new paper 'Further Developments of an
SDR Radio Telescope' using the FunCube Dongle Pro+ and SpectrumLab

"Further Developments of an SDR Radio Telescope" details the equipment
configuration and software involved in setting to work a small 3m
diameter amateur radio telescope using the FunCube Dongle Pro+
software defined radio receiver.

It demonstrates how Spectrum Lab can provide digital filtering to
observe up to 20 individual sub-bands to help overcome interference
issues.  David also provides details of gain and noise stability
measurements for the FUNcube Dongle and observations of emissions from
the quiet Sun and the Cygnus arm of the Milky Way.

This paper adds to the work that David has undertaken in the past and
is interesting reading for anyone wanting to experiment with SDR
solutions for amateur radio astronomy.
