Recepción de Imágenes Meteorológicas de Colombia con una Antena de Dipolos Cruzados

Abstract

El objetivo del artículo es presentar el diseño, simulación y construcción de una antena de dipolos cruzados para recibir imágenes APT procedentes de satélites NOAA15 en un ambiente semiurbano. Para lograr mejor desempeño de la antena se manejó la altura sobre el plano de tierra, la longitud y diámetro de los elementos, el ángulo de inclinación de estos respecto del eje de coordenadas de la antena y el acople con un puerto de conexión tipo SMA de 50Ω. La antena construida permitió recibir imágenes APT en tiempo real, con una resolución máxima de 120dpi, ganancia de 4.8dBi y desviación de frecuencia de ±17KHz. La portadora modulada arribó a una frecuencia de 137MHz y fue procesada mediante dispositivos y herramientas: RTL-SDR, SDR Sharp, audio piping y el software WXtoimg para la decodificación de imágenes. Se concluye que en entornos semiurbanos la antena de dipolos cruzados recibe bien imágenes APT. Sin embargo, es susceptible al efecto doppler y al ruido por la presencia de nulos de bajo orden.

The aim of the article is to present the design, simulation and construction of a double cross antenna to receive APT images from NOAA15 satellites (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) in a semi-urban environment. To achieve better performance of the antenna, its height above ground, the length and diameter of the elements, their angle of inclination with respect to the axis of the antenna coordinates and the coupling with a 50Ω SMA type connection port were adjusted. The built antenna allowed to receive APT images in real time, with a maximum resolution of 120dpi, gain of 4.8dBi and frequency deviation of ±17 KHz. The modulated carrier arrived at a frequency of 137 MHz and was processed by devices and tools: RTL-SDR, Sharp SDR, audio piping and WXtoimg software for decoding images. It is concluded that in semi-urban environments the double cross antenna receives well APT images. However, it is susceptible to the Doppler Effect and noise due to the presence of low order nulls.
