E-Callisto

E-Callisto is a frequency-agile radio spectrometer designed by Christian Monstein at ETH Zurich for studying solar flares in the 45-870 MHz frequency range. The E-Callisto receiver uses a microprocessor controlled television tuner, logarithmic detector and other integrated circuit components. The receiver has provisions for controlling a ‘focal plane unit’ located at the antenna that can include a low noise amplifier, antenna polarisation switching, noise calibration source and associated coaxial switches.

Components for the E-Callisto system are available from www.solscan.com/E-Callisto.html
