Measurements and Applications
|
MDASat-1 is equipped with an upgraded AIS receiver from its predecessor, ZACube-2. It will be capable of detecting AIS and AIS-LR messages. Additionally, it has the ability to capture raw data in the maritime spectrum which opens up the possibility to perform diagnostic testing to assess signal interference conditions in the band and their effect on the decoding of messages.
