PREDICTING THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT AT A SITE.

Abstract

The report contains the step-by-step procedures for applying the technique to obtain a measurement of the electromagnetic environment at a site with a minimum of actual field measurement. This technique has been designed to be used to determine whether an equipment planned for installation at a site can be expected to encounter interference from distant (on or off-base) transmitters. It is based on signal intensity behavior as a function of calendar time and frequency and produces results in the form of 'the percentage of total time over the course of a year when the signal intensity for a given frequency received at a site, will be above a given level.' By knowing the threshold level of the particular equipment being considered for installation, it is possible to determine whether the signal intensity levels expected will present a significant problem and whether redesign efforts or other approaches for eliminating or reducing the interference are needed or desired.
