Study of a Strong RFI Source at L-Band Using SMAP Radiometer Data

This paper presents an analysis of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) in the 1.400-1.427 GHz frequency band. The study considers the sudden and strong increase of interference from a particular emitter in China that has been observed in July 2020 by radiometers from both ESA's SMOS (Soil Moistu...

Zusammenfassung:This paper presents an analysis of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) in the 1.400-1.427 GHz frequency band. The study considers the sudden and strong increase of interference from a particular emitter in China that has been observed in July 2020 by radiometers from both ESA's SMOS (Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity) and NASA's SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) missions. It provides an example of the characterization of a source of RFI and illustrates the capabilities of the SMAP radiometer receiver and RFI processing incorporated in it to identify and understand interference.
