Abstract

A satellite beacon receiver is designed for research and educational purposes. To provide data to investigate possible weather induced scattering processes, a complex valued dual branch architecture is chosen, operating in the Q-band. The construction is based on mostly readily available components and instruments at Aalborg University radio laboratory. The paper describes the beacon receiver and its features.
