Command line utility that takes IQ data stream as input and produces doppler corrected output stream based on TLE. Firstly it was written in C (last commit to C version), however now it is rewritten in rust.

Do realtime doppler correction to ESTCube-1 satellite that transmits on 437.505 MHz and write output to a file.
Notice that rtl_fm is tuned to 437.500 MHz, but ESTCube-1 transmits on 437.505 MHz, therefore 5000 Hz constant offset correction is also added with --offset parameter. It can be omitted if there is no offset.
rtl_fm -f 437.5M -s 1024000 -g 20 -M raw - | doppler track -s 1024000 -i i16 --tlefile cubesat.txt --tlename 'ESTCUBE 1' --location lat=58.26541,lon=26.46667,alt=76 --frequency 437505000 --offset 5000 > zero.iq
Do doppler correction to a file that is recorded before. For example someone has recorded an overpass and you would like to convert it to another file where doppler compensation has been made.
If parameter --time is specified it does doppler correction based on this time instead of real time. It denotes start time of the recording in UTC.
cat last_overpass_256000sps_i16.iq | doppler track -s 256000 -i i16 --tlefile cubesat.txt --tlename 'ESTCUBE 1' --location lat=58.26541,lon=26.46667,alt=76 --frequency 437505000 --offset -2500 --time 2015-01-22T09:07:16 > zero_overpass.iq
sox -t wav last_overpass.wav -esigned-integer -b16 -r 300000 -t raw - | doppler track -s 300000 -i i16 --tlefile cubesat.txt --tlename 'ESTCUBE 1' --location lat=58.26541,lon=26.46667,alt=76 --frequency 437505000 --offset -2500 --time 2015-01-22T09:07:16 > zero_overpass.iq
Notice that if dealing with old files you also have to use TLEs from that day, otherwise doppler correction result might be off. Here offset compensation of -2500 Hz is used only for example purposes.
It is also possible to just shift baseband signal "left" or "right" using const mode. In this example input signal has float IQ data format therefore -i f32 is used. However output is converted to int16 IQ data format using -o i16.
cat baseband_256000sps_f32.iq | doppler const -s 256000 -i f32 --shift -15000 -o i16 > shifted_baseband_256000sps_i16.iq
