Wideband Satellite Anomaly Research

The objective of the project is to investigate satellite anomalies using sampled radio frequency data in a 20-MHz (wideband) from-end bandwidth. This bandwidth represents a factor of 10 improvements over the current 2-MHz (narrowband) front-end anomaly monitoring capability. The larger bandwidth enables the analysis of radio frequency interference outside the 2-MHz bandwidth as well as detailed processing of satellite signals to investigate signal deformation, ionospheric attenuation and scintillation, and new signal structures.
