Professor Carl-Mikael Zetterling handed over the flight model of the combined SiC/LEGS experiment in his lab at KTH's sub-campus in Kista on 25 October 2022. The top left printed circuit board contains the SiC transistor test experiment and support electronics for the piezoelectric linear motor experiment on the upper right. The circuit board on the...

The box on the left contains the low-noise amplifier (the smaller yellowish box) for receiving signals on UHF (437 MHz) and a filter (larger yellowish box) to eliminate interference from the uplink transmitter, mobile telephones and FM broadcasting stations. The black device is a surge arrestor to provide some protection against lightning. The box on... Continue Reading →

The lattice tower is made in Sweden by Vårgårda radio, the rotator is a AlfaSpid unit made in Poland, the antennas are made by M2 in the U.S.A., the grey boxes contain filter and low-noise amplifiers from Antennas & Amplifiers in Serbia and flexible coax is made aby Messi & Paoloni in Italy. The antenna... Continue Reading →

A tube in the center of the lattice tower will be raised to hold the rotator and antennasHere the central mast tube can be seen. The aluminum lattice tower that will form the basis of the antenna installation on the roof of the Alfvén Laboratory was attached to its base on 13 October 2020. Cabling... Continue Reading →
