A Portable Downlink for LRIT/HRIT Reception in the Field

This system, which includes a 1m diameter parabolic dish, is designed to directly receive L-Band LRIT and HRIT services at 1691.0 and 1694.1 MHz, respectively. By changing the feedhorn and receiver, the system is also able to receive Ku-band EUMETCast-Europe service on 11262.5 MHz. The 1m antenna is assembled by one operator in under 15 minutes without the need of tools. The XRIT ingest application software allows the reception, processing and storage of imagery from GOES-E, GOES-W, GOES-R/S/T/U, COMS, MSG and EUMETCAST.
