Preliminary Investigation of Radio Frequency Interference on Potential Satellite Ground Station Development Site

A satellite ground station serves as an important part within the ground segment of a typical satellite communication system. The operation of a satellite ground station can be degraded due to radio frequency interference and in some certain circumstances might also cause severe damage to the receiving system. In order to ensure the satellite ground station can achieve optimum operability as well as efficiency, investigation on potential radio frequency interference must be conducted. This paper described the preliminary investigation of radio frequency interference performed at two proposed locations.
