Description

This dataset contains passive RF captures of Starlink Ku-band downlink signals, collected to support research in passive LEO satellite localization. Signals were recorded at a center frequency of 11.325 GHz with a 2 MHz bandwidth using a three-receiver setup. Each observation consists of 15 minutes (900 seconds) of simultaneous IQ data across all three receivers, along with synchronized IMU/GNSS measurements and Starlink Two-Line Element (TLE) data corresponding to the time of capture.
 
Raw IQ data can be processed using the scripts in starlocProcessRawSignal.
 
Due to upload limitations on Zenodo, the full dataset (434.4 GiB, 81 satellites from 11 observations) is hosted on Box.
