The dish is analyzed layer by later from the radome down to individual integrated circuits. The RF design, system architecture and many aspects of the overall product are described in details. An X-Ray of the RF stack is also shown which further explores the design of the array.

This workshop will shares the basics of radio signals, how they are used to convey information, how devices communicate, and best of all, how to act as one of those devices!



Radio waves are all around us, chattering in a myriad of protocols, and almost all of it is available for the listening in one way or another. This workshop, held during the 2020 Hackaday Remoticon, demystifies these magical radio waves to the science, protocol, and math they really are!
