Cochannel interference analysis between spaceborne and terrestrial radars

Abstract

An analysis of cochannel interference between spaceborne and terrestrial radars is presented. A generic modeling methodology is applied, which, it is felt, will represent the worst-case situation. In order to account for Doppler shifts, auto- and cross-ambiguity functions have been developed for determining matched filter outputs. The results support the ability of such radar systems to coexist relatively harmoniously utilizing currently accepted assignment procedures.
