1 Session 2A. The needs of passive spectrum users and the lessons learned from the astronomy and earth exploration communities in terms of spectrum sharing. Moderator: Sandra Cruz-Pol Oct 19, 2015

2 RF Spectrum definition It s the range of frequencies of em waves Between 3kHz-3THz

3 How do we choose f? Many factors: antenna size, available technology, cost,.. but mainly: Atmospheric attenuation Physical properties of EM waves vary with frequency Resonant molecules, Sensitivity to Earth parameters,

4 Atmospheric Attenuation Due to resonance with several molecules

5 Atmospheric Attenuation In general, attenuation increases as frequency increases. Price also increases but antenna size is smaller.

6 Sensitivity of f The physical parameters we want to measure, need to use specific frequency, ex. Salinity, water,

7 Astronomical Spectral Lines and Continuum Needed to study quasars, black holes, CMB (Big Bang), dark matter, planets Doppler Shift

8 Passive surviving in an active world Passive- only Rx Active Tx & Rx

9 RFI Passive Passive

10 Did you know that Katrina (Passive Microwave Satellite)

11 SMMR AMSR-E

12 Arecibo Observatory Radar only 30% of time Passive ~70% of time Frequencies MHz-10.6GHz 3 Tx with eirp [effective isotropic radiated powers] =300 MW at 47 MHz =2.5 TW at 430 MHz =20 TW at 2.38 GHz Rx Sensitivity= -250 dbw/m 2 /Hz 1 jansky = 1 Jy W/m2/Hz

13 Occurrence of RFI versus frequency by month for Arecibo Jan-Sept 2014

14 Radar from hilltop monitor Compare radar frequency usage: Top: 29may09 pre CARSR, pre PuntaSalinas upgrage middle:27apr15:carsr, new puntasalinas (modea) Bottom:14oct15:CARSR, new puntasalinas, all chan. Punta Salinas coordination sometimes fails: Dec 2014: mode A when AO uses lband July 2014: not going to modea Had trouble with their radar. Jul,Aug14 This was pre 100 channel mode.

16 You can get $25,000 bill from FCC if you are using an illegal frequency. Click to see examples

17 Most vulnerable to RFI Other NSF funded facilities

18 Most vulnerable to RFI Other NSF funded facilities Up to 720GHz in Chile. ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array ) is the largest radio telescope in the world It was officially put into operation on 13 March 2013 scientific observations take place, however since October In June 2014 was erected the last of 66 planned antennas. They are used as interferometer for millimeter-wave and submillimeter used. Measures noise-like signals from galaxies far away
