The authors built a system to listen to starlink. That is a valuable effort. It would be interesting to know in a public way what are precisely the freqs used by starlink DISHYs. This paper seems to be saying it is listening on: 10.7–11.7 GHz (the lower band) and 11.7–12.75 GHz (the upper band). However, this other paper from ETSI, cited on this email list, seems to be saying: Receive (space-to-Earth) 10,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz, Transmit (Earth-to-space) 14,0 GHz to 14,50 GHz. Remark the differences between the two. https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/303900_303999/303981/01.02.00_30/en_303981v010200v.pdf I am not sure which of the two to trust, should only one be the right one, or both. It could be, for example, that the UT authors listen to something, hear something, but not sure whether that is the starlink they hear. It could be too that the ETSI document being respected by starlink is just a supposition. Maybe an additional, more authoritative, source of info is to list out the freqs reserved by starlink at FCC and other regulators. Maybe the DISHY and the user manual also has some labels telling precisely which are the frequencies. It is not clear to me whether a freq allocated by FCC in USA for starlink is also allocated in Europe. There are a number of freqs proposed for allocation in Europe for constellations, yet they differ even between two EU countries, so.
