UNB Earth Station

This is the information about the UNB Earth Station.

• The 6-foot-diameter solid-metal satellite dish has an S band feedpoint having 30 dB gain. There are two feedpoint outputs, for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. The feedpoint is a RadioWaves model number 101849-6 from Alive Telecom, Inc. The frequency range is specified as 2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz. The 3-dB circular beamwidth is approximately 5 degrees.
• The UHF Yagi-Uda antenna is right circularly polarized with 15.5 dBic gain and a 30 degree 3-dB circular beamwidth. The antenna is model number 436CP30 from M2 Antenna Systems, Inc. The frequency range is specified as 432 MHz to 440 MHz.
• The VHF Yagi-Uda antenna is right circularly polarized with 12.3 dBic gain and a 52 degree 3-dB circular beamwidth. The antenna is model number 2MCP14 from M2 Antenna Systems, Inc. The frequency range is specified as 143 MHz to 148 MHz.
• The azimuth-elevation rotator has a 0.5 degree pointing accuracy.
• The location is given in WGS84 coordinates; six different forms are shown:
  • 45.94994 N, -66.64249 E,
  • 45.94994 N, 66.64249 W,
  • 45.94994 N, 293.35751 E,
  • 45°56′59.8″ N, -66°38′33.0″ E,
  • 45°56′59.8″ N, 66°38′33.0″ W, or
  • 45°56′59.8″ N, 293°21′27.0″ E.
  • For the Advanced Publication of Information (API/A) with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the C10c1 parameters are 066W38 33 and 45N57 00.
• The azimuth-elevation pivoting point is 47 m above mean sea level.
• At the same site is SatNOGS 3044 - UNB Fredericton Canada which may use different antennas.
