strf is a satellite tracking toolkit for radio observations.
It’s designed to track satellites from radio observations by using Doppler curves to identify satellites and determine their orbits.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Satellite tracking toolkit for radio observations.
- Uses Doppler curves to identify satellites and determine orbits.
- Designed for Linux operating systems.
- Works with software defined radios supported by GNU Radio.
- Includes tools for data acquisition and FFT-based spectrogram generation.
- Provides analysis tools for extracting and studying Doppler curves.
