Radio Interference Modeling and Prediction for Satellite Operation Applications

Abstract

This report describes an innovative radio frequency interference evaluation and prediction framework. This report presents associated modeling and prediction tools to: (1) detect the presence of radio frequency interference using receiver s synchronizer, (2) estimate the radio frequency interference characteristics, (3) evaluate effectiveness of the existing unified S-band command waveforms employed by civil, commercial and military satellite operations ground stations, and (4) predict the impacts of radio frequency interference on unified S-band command systems. The proposed framework and radio frequency interference prediction tools allow a communication designer to estimate the optimum transmitted signal power to maintain a required satellite operations quality-of-service in the presence of both friendly and unfriendly radio frequency interference sources.
