Overcoming the Challenges in Satellite Testing and Interference Detection
Application Notes
The new GEO (geostationary orbit) satellite systems and the “New Space” commercial trend of thousands of LEO (low earth orbit) satellites bring new challenges to both components and system level tests of satellites. With the utilization of higher frequency and wider bandwidth in satellites, more complex testing and characterization is required to ensure components and systems meet requirements. Also with the dramatic increase in the number of satellites and more complex electromagnetic environment, interference detection becomes a problem facing satellite operators and regulation institutions, especially for the detection of intermittent or transient signals.
