Description
Intelligent Automation, Inc. proposes to develop an L-band interference rejection applique for mitigating cosite interference from nearby out-of-band transmissions. As spectrum congestion increases, through spectrum auctions such as AWS-3 for example, the impact of cosite and adjacent channel interference on radio operations will increase. For example, JTRS training sites operating in the 1755-1850 MHz band may experience more interference from cellular transmissions. Similarly, meteorological ground stations operating in the 1695-1710 MHz band may experience more interference from cellular uplink transmissions. Position, navigation and timing (PNT) signals such as Global Positioning System (GPS) are among the weakest signals received at a receiver. Therefore, these receivers will be impacted the most because of cosite interference due to tactical radio operations in for example 1750-1850 MHz.
