Abstract

Lapan-A2 Satellite, also known as LAPAN-ORARI, is the second satellite developed by the Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) especially by Satellite Technology Center. This satellite was launched in 2015 which one of the payloads is for amateur radio communication such as VR (Voice Repeater) and APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System). The APRS is a method of transmitting messages, status and positions using certain range of frequency and often used by Search and Rescue (SAR) team. Due to its function, APRS are not only used for disaster mitigation but also transmit various kind of data such as text message and weather information. In order to receive such information, APRS must be equipped with supporting devices. Formerly, APRS utilize terminal node controller and special hardware to decode its information but those technology is quite expensive. To address that challenge, this paper proposed an alternative way to decode the information send both from satellite APRS and terrestrial APRS by using raspberry Pi to replace those high-cost system.

Abstract

Bentuk dasar antena heliks quadrifilar dikembangkan oleh C. C. Kilgus dari Laboratorium Fisika Terapan, Universitas Johns Hopkins, USA. Antena ini memiliki beamwidth yang lebar sampai 2400 dengan pola radiasi berbentuk jantung, berpolarisasi sirkular dan tidak memerlukan reflektor. Antena heliks quadrifilar memiliki rasio diameter terhadap tingginya 0,66. Artinya antena ini ditempatkan di on-board satelit sebagai pemancar (Tx). Ukuran dari antena ini adalah ½ λ ½ putaran dan termasuk dalam varian putaran kecil. Tujuan dari riset ini adalah membuat prototip antena heliks quadrifilar dengan frekuensi 2,22 GHz dan selanjutnya diuji dalam skala laboratorium. Dari hasil pengujian laboratorium, besarnya RL adalah -18.55 dB, besarnya VSWR adalah 1,26, besarnya lebar pita adalah 6,04 %, besarnya lebar berkas adalah 1700 dan besarnya penguatan adalah 5,19 dB.
