Ideas to Inspire
While all projects using Qorvo components will be considered, here are some specific areas of interest and parts to inspire you:
Livestreams
Zeke Wheeler and Satellite Tracking
In this Teardown Session, Crowd Supply’s Helen Leigh talks with 12 year old, Zeke Wheeler (KJ7NLL on Youtube), about satellite tracking and ham radio.
Spacewalker LNA
In this session, Crowd Supply’s Helen Leigh talks with Zoltan Doczi, a Senior RF Engineer at Decent Labs. Decent Labs are of the creators of Spacewalker LNA 434 MHz, a device that was developed to combat real-world satellite reception difficulties. In urban environments, it’s often difficult to receive PocketSat and CubeSat signals amidst strong DVB-T, TETRA, FM, and LTE signals from densely packed transmitter towers.
