Interference Mitigation Technique Using Active Spaceborne Sensor Antenna in EESS (Active) and Space Research Service (Active) for Use in 500 MHz Bandwidth Near 9.6 GHz

Preferred Frequency Range, Technical Characteristics, and Interference Assessment for a Microwave Observatory of Subsurface and Subcanopy (MOSS) for 1 MHZ Bandwidth in the Frequency Range of 100-150 MHz

This document presents rationale for the frequency band selection, technical and operational characteristics of active spaceborne sensors in the Earth Exploration-Satellite Service (active), and interference assessment for a 1 MHz bandwidth sensor in the 100-150 MHz frequency range. The active spaceborne sensors expected to be operating in the frequency range of 100-150 MHz is the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) such as the MOSS. The technical characteristics, mission objectives, orbital parameters, design parameters, antenna characteristics, and preliminary interference assessment are given for MOSS. The purpose of the document is to provide rationale for the frequency band selection, technical characteristics of the active spaceborne sensor Microwave Observatory of Subsurface and Subcanopy (MOSS) that can be used to analyze the compatibility of active spaceborne sensors and other systems of 1 MHz bandwidth in the 100-150 MHz frequency band.
