Dynamic spectral mask construction for radar transmission based on communication receiver locations

Abstract

Dynamic spectrum allocation is becoming a means of allocating spectrum based on users and available frequencies in surrounding geographic regions. Presently, spectral masks are applied to radar transmission based on specifications from governmental regulatory agencies. This paper describes a concept for dynamic spectral mask determination based on the location and acceptable interference power levels at frequencies used by nearby communication receivers. This concept will be applied going forward to allow information from wireless networks about surrounding users to be applied in dynamically constraining radar transmitter spectra.
