METHODOLOGY FOR EVALUATING INTERFERENCE FROM NARROW-BAND MOBILE-SATELLITE NETWORKS TO SPREAD-SPECTRUM DIRECT-SEQUENCE MOBILE-SATELLITE NETWORKS OPERATING WITH SPACE STATIONS IN LOW-EARTH ORBIT AT FREQUENCIES BELOW 1 GHz
Simplified and detailed methodologies are presented for evaluating the effect of narrow-band interfering signals on spread-spectrum communication channels. The methodologies allow a rapid comparison of the relative effects of changes to parameters of the desired and interfering signals, such as power level, bandwidth, and frequency offset, which may be investigated to facilitate sharing between narrow-band and spread-spectrum mobile-satellite networks.
