VHF-UHF Noise Surveys at Gulkana, Elmendorf AFB, Galena AFB, Kotzebue and Cape Lisburne, Alaska and NRL, Pomonkey, Maryland

Abstract

This report presents results of a series of site and noise surveys performed in Alaska. Surveys were performed at the former OTH-B site at Gulkana with the aim of determining the spectrum occupancy and background noise level at nominally 38 MHz, 420 MHz and 440 MHz. Three site surveys were performed at Elmendorf AFB near Anchorage, aimed at determining the spectrum occupancy and background noise levels at 40 to 50 MHz. Noise surveys were also performed at three existing radar sites, Galena, Kotzebue and Cape Lisburne at 40 to 50 MHz. This report contains a presentation of the survey and measurement methodology, including antenna patterns, absolute noise level calibrations, and noise level predictions. The features of the individual sites are presented with a discussion of the data collected.... Noise, HF and VHF frequency range, Interference, Spectral occupancy
