In the latest test I am transmitting a signal using BPSK carrier inversion driven by the one pulse-per-second output of a GPS receiver. This highly accurate time-stamped signal is used in the analysis of ionospheric propagation. Receivers having precise time resolution are used to measure time-of-flight of this and other time-stamped signals.
Here are the details:
- Power: 1W
- Frequency: 7.0399 MHz
- Modulation: BPSK, 1 Hz phase inversion
- ID modulation: 18 wpm morse, on/off keying
- Transmitter location: Friday Harbor, WA (48° 30′ N, 123° 1′ W)
- Transmit sequence:
- Minute 0 – 3 : PPS BPSK
- Minute 4: morse ID, followed by carrier off
- repeats every five minutes
