Abstract

"The file \"starlink_beacon.mat\" contains a vector which chan be used to acquire Starlink donwlink signals in the Ku band. It represents the sequence of recurrent pilot symbols (beacon) transmitted by Starlink satellite in an interval of 1.33 ms. This version of the beacon was estimated using a Starlink downlink signal capture taken in February 2025. It is useful for studying Starlink as Signa of Opportunity in satellite navigation. "
