Description
All okay For measuring and recording
rain rate, liquid water content
and characteristics falling
velocity resolved into 30 range
gates.
All okay This is the weather station we
use to measure, monitor and
manage all weather station
parameters.
All okay This is a very good dish antenna
that give both C-Band quality
signal. Range of satellite
transmission frequencies are
3700-4200 MHz
All okay This is the free TV in South
Africa which gives all free
channels from Ku Band Satellite
signal
All okay We are focusing on all Dstv Ku
Band satellite signals.
All okay We use it for measuring DVB-S
and DVB-T signals for also for
alignment of motor-controlled
antennas, sometimes we use it as
receiver as well if required
All okay We use Global Water's RG600
Tipping Bucket since it is a
durable weather instrument for
monitoring rain rate and total
rainfall.
All okay For measuring frequency
spectrum
All okay For providing emergency power
for lab when the input power
source or mains power fails.
All okay For data acquisition and
monitoring in the lab
All okay We use it for EMC/EMI test to
check the performance products.
All okay This is a 3D designing machine
We use it for data analysis.
For Data acquisition solar
system.
