  • Resolving Interference Issues at Satellite Ground Stations
    Application Note Resolving Interference Issues at Satellite Ground Stations Introduction RF interference represents the single largest impact to robust satellite operation performance. Interference issues result in significant costs for the satellite operator due to loss of income when the signal is interrupted. Additional costs are also encountered to debug and fix communications problems. These issues also exert a price in terms of reputation for the satellite operator. According to an earlier survey by the Satellite Interference Reduction Group (SIRG), 93% of satellite operator respondents suffer from satellite interference at least once a year. More than half experience interference at least once per month, while 17% see interference continuously in their day-to-day operations. Over 500 satellite operators responded to this survey. Satellite Communications Overview Satellite earth stations form the ground segment of satellite communications. They contain one or more satellite antennas tuned to various frequency bands. Satellites are used for telephony, data, backhaul, broadcast, community antenna television (CATV), internet, and other services. Depending on the application, each satellite system may be receive only or constructed for both transmit and receive operations. A typical earth station is shown in figure 1. Figure 1. Satellite Earth Station Each satellite antenna system is composed of the antenna itself (parabola dish) along with various RF components for signal processing. The RF components comprise the satellite feed system. The feed system receives/transmits the signal from the dish to a horn antenna located on the feed network. The location of the receiver feed system can be seen in figure 2. The satellite signal is reflected from the parabolic surface and concentrated at the focus position.

INTRODUCTION NREN requirements for development of seamless nomadic networks necessitates that NREN staff have a working knowledge of basic satellite technology.

Satellites are objects in orbits about the Earth. An orbit is a trajectory able to maintain gravitational equilibrium to circle the Earth without power assist. Physical laws that were comeptualized by Newton and Kepler govern orbital mechanics. The first satellite was the Moon, of course, but the idea of communications satellites came from Sir Arthur C. Clark in 1945. The Soviets launched the first manmade satellite, Sputnik I, in 1957. The first communications satellite (a simple reflector) was the US. Echo I in 1960. The first “geosynchronous” (explained later) satellite, Syncom, went up in 1962. There are now over 5000 operational satellites in orbit, 232 of which are large commercial (mostly communications) satellites. Satellites have become essential for modern life. Among the important applications of satellite technology are video, voice, IP data, radio, Earth and space observation, global resource monitoring, military, positioning (GPS), micro-gravity science and many others. From direct-to-home TV to the Hubble telescope, satellites are one of the defining technologies of the modem age. Video is the most successful commercial application for satellites, and direct-to-home distribution is the most promising application for the technology at this time.
