Receiving and magnetic tape recording of original HRPT data
Abstract
The TIROS-N/NOAA-A-J series have introduced the polar orbital environmental satellite system from 1978. The satellites transmit AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) image data, low data rate instruments data (TOVS data, etc) and spacecraft/instrument telemetry data as the HRPT (High Resolution Picture Transmission). At the MSC (Meteorological Satellite Center), the HRPT signal which is transmitted by S-band from satellite is received in 4 m phi parabola antenna, low noise amplifier, and converted into the analog image data. The received signal is recorded on the computer compatible tapes for TOVS processing.
