<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Rich Gopstein, KD2CQ and Bill Schell, W2WZ highlighted new systems aboard AMSAT’s new GOLF CubeSat at Hamvention 2025. Rich detailed the software defined radio (SDR) module while
Bill explained how the SDR communicates with other systems on the upcoming GOLF satellites.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-ligatures:none;mso-no-proof:yes"><img border="0" width="462" height="275" id="Picture_x0020_19" src="cid:image016.png@01DBF322.35E884B0"></span><o:p></o:p></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Rich explained, “The diagram above is a block diagram of the GOLF-TEE 3U CubeSat. The purple rectangle located in the middle of the diagram represents a (SDR). The Fox series of
satellites before had transponders. Some were FM transponders. They acted like a repeater up in the sky. A single FM channel up with a single FM channel down. Other Fox satellites had linear transponders with wide bandwidths for several SSB or CW signals.
Whatever you sent up to the satellite, either on 2 meters or 440, would come down on the other band.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“You could communicate with people that way, operate either FM or linear transponder, but that's all you could do with a transponder. On the other hand, the SDR allows us to do
much more interesting things. Instead of the radio being permanently built into the hardware like it was in the Fox series, with an SDR it’s all done in software. We don't have to change the hardware to implement different modes like SSTV or any of the voice,
data or image operations we want to try. With an SDR we can do it in software. It's much easier much quicker to do.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“The SDR communicates with the RF matrix, represented by the light gray rectangle to the right of the SDR. The SDR communicates and is controlled by other circuits in the satellite
through the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus shown to the left of the SDR. That control bus is used to activate and deactivate the radio system as well as command it to perform a variety of operations.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Specifically the SDR for the first GOLF satellites is the Ettus Research™ E310 Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP™). Rich explained, “The Ettus 310 SDR has two receive and
two transmit antenna connections, which gives us a lot of flexibility in terms of what we want to do. For example, we can create cross-band transponders with it. We will use the radio at 5 GHz and 10 GHz, but it can't do 10 GHz natively. We need to implement
some RF hardware externally to increase the original frequency range to 10 GHz.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“The Ettus runs on a Linux operating system so we will use GNU Radio software to program radio functions. So, if we want to have the radio operate as a transponder, for Morse code,
telemetry, SSTV, or whatever, we can do it can through programming.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">It is a free and open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. Gopstein remarked, “GNU Radio makes programming easier!
The talent and skills of AMSAT engineers are a precious resource. The GNU building block approach saves time while elevating consistency, quality and production rates for the benefit of all AMSAT satellite end users.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“We’re using GNU Radio to support radio necessities such as the spacecraft transponder, telemetry and other modes of data transmission for the GOLF satellites. These are just a
portion of the functions we're capable of using.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“Because the Ettus E310 SDR connects to the RF matrix, various antennas on the satellite can be connected to the SDR. As I said before, the output from the SDR will have a 10 GHz
frequency converter and we will also have a solid-state power amplifier. That combination will increase frequency and output power for transmission at 10 GHz then sending the RF to an X band patch antenna.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“One element of RF operation that we're definitely going to try with the SDR is a 1 megabits per second (Mbps) data transmission. Another exciting experiment with the SDR could
be ‘five-and-dime’ 5GHz/10GHz microwave radio transponder. On future missions, we expect to use the SDR to try all sorts of other functions with the SDR, yet to be determined,” Rich concluded.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Next, Bill Schell, W2WZ went on to say, “This block diagram is a detailed look at part of the original diagram. It shows the Ettus E310 SDR connected to the main control processor
of GOLF-TEE, the RT-IHU (Radiation Tolerant Internal Housekeeping Unit). The two are connected over the CAN bus, over which messages flow in each direction.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“The RT-IHU control software communicates with a python application running on the E310 called ‘SDR Server’. This application receives request messages from the RT-IHU to execute
various SDR related actions. It also sends E-310 related status and telemetry information back to the RT-IHU”, Bill added.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">According to Bill, “One of the most important actions the RT-IHU requests through SDR server is to start and stop GNU radio flows on the E-310. These flows are the software that
implement the radio functions of the SDR. A flow might implement a transponder, the transmission of a periodic morse code ID, or the transmission of a data file to a ground station. Flows are created from building blocks in the GNU radio user interface. Common
types of blocks include signal sources, filters, modulators, demodulators, FFT’s, math operations, etc. Blocks are combined to implement a flow which accomplishes a particular radio or signal processing task.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“Other actions the SDR server performs are the sending of IMU and temperature data to the RT-IHU, receiving a file for later transmission (by a flow), shutdown, and other housekeeping
functions”, Bill concluded.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

telecommunications technology, successfully establishing a Q-Band (38-39 GHz) link over LEO, between the RAL Space Chilbolton Observatory and the Telesat LEO 3 demonstration satellite. A Q-Band receiver was mounted on Chilbolton Observatory’s large 25m dish.
The team at the observatory used this radar tracking capability to monitor the state of the satellite and its orbit during each pass. The team established a stable link with a collocated Ka-Band uplink antenna to the Telesat LEO 3 satellite. The Telesat LEO
3 satellite also provided frequency up-conversion to Q-Band, amplification and retransmission to ground. The Telesat satellite station transmitted a DVBs signal. Full story at<a href="https://tinyurl.com/ANS-194-Q-Band" target="_blank"> https://tinyurl.com/ANS-194-Q-Band</a>.
