A Prototype of an Integrated Telemetry Receiving System with Volunteers: Designs of a Simple Receiver, a Protocol, and an Intelligent Information Processing

Abstract In this paper, we propose “social diversity” which is an integrated satellite telemetry receiving system with volunteers. In the proposed system, a number of volunteer receivers catch the satellite signals with a simplified cheap receiver, instead of using a comprehensive and expensive antenna receiving station. Although such signals may contain various errors or may be lost, the intelligent information techniques can compensate such signals by using a number of simultaneously received signals and profiled data. For the purpose of the whole system developments, we tackle mainly three issues. Firstly, we develop a simple receiver for the amateur bands radio waves. Secondly, we design the receiving data format for the transfer and server-client web receiving system. Finally, we thrash out suitable intelligent information techniques for our system. Here we report a development status of our whole satellite telemetry system. Especially, this report focuses on the simple SDR (Software-Defined Radio) receiver for the voluntary observers and a prototype of the web system for collecting a number of satellite telemetry data and compensating the incomplete telemetry data.
