1.0        Introduction

Interference calculations were performed to determine the potential for in-band and out-of-band interference from
Radiolocation Systems operating in the 3.1 to 3.7 GHz band1. The geographical positions and operating parameters of
these systems was dervied from NTIA Document TR-99-3612.



2.0        Radiolocation Systems in the 3.1 – 3.7 GHz Band

High powered mobile and fixed radar systems operated by the Federal Government operate in the 3.1 – 3.7 GHz band.
These radars are used to search for and track near-surface and high-altitude airborne projectiles, sea surveillance, and
airborne objects. The NTIA report referenced above has identified the locations for two types of systems: land-based
and shipboard based. Also included in the report are the operating characteristics of these radars. There are two
prevalent types of shipboard radars, denoted as type A and Type B, and one type of ground-based radar. An Airborne
System radar is also specified. This analysis will concern itself with interference from the ground based and shipboard
based radars based upon the relative operating positions and parameters specified in the NTIA report.

A summary of the operating parameters for the shipboad and ground based radar systems is shown below:

4.0      Interference Calculations

The interference was calculated into the earth station receive system for both in-band and out-of-band interference.
The interference power level was calculated using the formula below:

         Pr = Pt + Gt – FSL – OHLOSS + Ges – LLt - LLes

Where:
         Pr : Interference power level received at victim earth station, in dBW
         Pt: Transmitter power of Radiolocation system, in dBW
         Gt: Gain of Radiolocation transmit system, in dBi
         FSL: Free Space Loss between radiolocation system and earth station, in dB
         OHLOSS: Over-the-Horizon losses between radiolocation system and earth station, in dB
         Ges: Horizon gain of the earth station toward radiolocation transmitter, in dBi
         LLt: Line losses of the radiolocation system, in dB (assume 2dB per NTIA report)
         LLes: Line losses of the earth station system, in dB (assume 0 dB unless known)

This interference power level was then compared to in-band and out-of-band interference criteria. The in-band criteria
was developed using ITU and FCC recommendations3. The out-of-band interference criteria was developed using the
following:

The earth station’s low –noise amplifier front-end overload criteria of was determined using the following calculations:

         T=C–G

Where:
         T = input threshold at which front-end overload occurs, dBW
         C = output 1 dB gain compression point of the LNA, typical -20 dBW
         G = Gain of the LNA, dB

For the purposes of this report it was assumed that the low-noise amplifier would not provide any out-of-band
frequency rejection, thus no Frequency Dependent Rejection values based upon any RF selectivity, such as pre-LNA
filtering or inherent LNA filtering, have been assumed. The maximum level of interference is the includes the input
saturation threshold value minus a 10 dB output backoff value to consider in operation levels

The maximum interference power receive, Pr, allowable then becomes:

         Max Pr > T - IPBO

For a 65 dB gain LNA this value is -95 dBW. In the absence of manufacturer LNA/LNB specifications the following
typical values have been used:

         T = -95 dBW
         C = -20 dBW
         G = 65 dB

The propagation model to determine the over-the-horizon loss is the NSMA OH-Loss model4. When the propagation
link is very lengthy, over 250 miles, an estimated OH-loss using a rounded earth modeling value has been used.

5.0     Summary of Results

The summary calculations are shown for all shipboard based and land based systems in Tables 4 through 8 below.
Whenever Radar A and B are possibly in use, the interference calculations have assumed the higher powered systems
(Radar B). The antenna elevation for the Ground Based systems was assumed to be 46 m even though it was not
specified in the NTIA report.

6.0      Conclusions

Interference assessment for Earth Stations Operating at 3100 - 3700 MHz at the Santa Paula, CA site
identified 7 cases of In-band potential interference. The applicant is aware of this potential for interference
and will work with the Government Users to mitigate the problem. Please see Table 4-8 and below for
results of In-band interference cases.
