International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / Reduction in available radio frequency (RF) spectrum for use in aircraft testing has
steadily increased the probability of interference. The increase in users and required
bandwidth generates requirements for increased monitoring and active management of the
RF spectrum. The detection of background RF emissions and monitoring of authorized
users will be used by future range test engineers to make decisions on when and where to
conduct test missions to minimize the probability of interference. The detection of
authorized users exceeding their allotted RF spectrum as well as unknown emitters should
include: the general geographic area of potential interference, and times of transmission.
This paper outlines the development of a complete system for wide-band RF monitoring
to identify and locate active emissions. The RF surveillance system proposed must be
inexpensive, easy to maintain, support large area coverage, and monitor wide bandwidths
at long range. The system should contain software for emitter identification, which will
determine where the current background and authorized RF transmissions occur and how
they might effect authorized transmissions, and specialized software to alert spectrum
managers of potential interference scenarios in real time based upon the daily schedule.
