 Galileo:  Advanced 20.1MHZ Radio Astronomy Receiver
 

Galileo:

 

 Introduction to Galileo 
 

FD-Galileo is basically designed for NASA’s Radio Jove project. I post here some basic information for your quick review.

NASA's Radio JOVE project is centered on the low cost radio telescope receiver, which can be used by science classes to collect planetary or solar radio astronomy data. Schools may opt to use other equipment to collect this data, but use of the Radio Jove receiver is highly recommended and provides good educational value to the students.

The radio telescope is intended for high school level classes, but may be appropriate for introductory college courses or advanced radio astronomers.

The Radio Telescope is designed for 20.1MHZ and is High Performance/Low Noise Direct Conversion Receiver.  

 

FD-Galileo Radio Astronomy Receiver is supplied fully assembled and comes with following:

  1. Direct Conversion Receiver for 20.1MHZ
  1. Uses SA602/612 Double balance mixer
  1. Stable Oscillator with tuning range of over 100KHZ
  1. Very low power consumption
  1. Supplied in a powder coated metal case
  1. Has built-in Frequency counter
  1. Built-in A/D Converter for direct connection to your PC
  1. Built-in 20MHZ Osc. (Option)
  1. Front panel audio socket for tape recorders
  1. Front panel switches to put off A/D, Freq Counter, LCD back light etc. (For battery operation)
  2. Uses Standard BNC connectors for Receiver & Combiner. PL239 for Dipole Center feed.

 

In addition to above, Galileo may be purchased with following options:

  1. An antenna Splitter/Combiner
  2. Antenna Current Balun-Core for center feed Dipoles
  3. Complete Antenna KIT includes Coaxial cables (RG59) and Two dipoles with SO239 Center plate.
