RF Satellite Tracking
|
**strf** is the satellite tracking toolkit for radio observations (RF). The software is designed to allow tracking of satellites from radio observations, using Doppler curves to identify satellites and/or determine their orbits.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The software is designed for *linux* operating systems, and will work with most software defined radios (SDRs), certainly those that are supported by http://www.gnuradio.com. The software comes with tools for data acquisition, performing FFTs to generate timestamped spectrograms (waterfall plots), and analysis, to extract and analyse Doppler curves.

||||||
|
* You will need to set the following environment variables to run **strf**.
|
||||||
|
