Supporting Analysis for a Proposed Methodology to Quantify MSS/FS
The following sections provide the supporting analysis for a methodology developed to quantify the impact of MSS space-to-Earth interference on FS radio-relay ground stations. Specifically, Section 1.1 documents the derivation of key probability equations for the cases of link fade only and link fade plus MSS interference. Section 1.2 includes the methodology developed to transform PDF data relating to the received noise power level into PDF data relating to the level by which the received noise power level exceeds the receiver noise floor. This transformed PDF data is needed as input into the interference analysis. Finally, Section 1.3 provides several alternative methods for specifying MSS/FS interference criteria...Learn More
