Radio Frequency Hazard Monitoring - USAKA

Abstract

This study provides the design of a network of sensors and procedures which will allow efficient and rapid mapping of RF power density and spectral data at a large number of ground station sensors surrounding the USAKA radars as a function of antenna pointing angles, transmitter power, and time of day. The system acts as a stand alone unit, powered by solar charged batteries. The sensor network is linked to a common control center, which collects, displays and archives the data. Communication between sensor units and the control center can use telephone or VHF radio links.
