e-Callisto
MEXICO-LANCE
The Callisto solar spectrometer is a programmable heterodyne receiver designed in 2006 by Christian Monstein, a member of the Radio Astronomy Group
at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Several Callisto receivers are installed worldwide and are part of the e-Callisto network. You can access the data for the
entire network here
The Callisto MEXICO-LANCE station is located at the National Space Weather Laboratory (LANCE) in Coeneo, Michoacán. It belongs to the Instituto de Geofísica,
Unidad Michoacán, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). It is configured to monitor the 45-90 MHz band, at 200 frequencies, four times per second.
It uses an LWA crossed dipole antenna. It also has a power coupler with a quadrature (LWAPC-Q) that feeds the crossed dipole antenna's active balun array through
the coaxial transmission lines. The LWAPC-Q has two identical RF circuits and is inserted between the antenna array and the receivers. This allows for discrimination
of circular polarizations received by linearly polarized crossed dipoles.
