Instrument Package for Measurement of Shipboard RFI,

Abstract

Shipboard RFI to UHF SATCOM is a potential threat to effective Naval Communications. To determine the extent of this threat and to develop corrective measures, it was necessary that tests be performed to characterize the RFI in the UHF band in which the Fleet Satellites operate. The requirement existed for an instrumentation package having a low noise figure, a large dynamic range, and the capability of rapid field maintenance. The instrumentation package was designed and constructed at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. The design conforms to practices which lead to good electromagnetic compatibility. The design met all design criteria and has been successfully used in collecting data to characterize shipboard RFI to UHF SATCOM. (Author)
