Assessment of Communication System Susceptibility to the PAVE PAHS Radar

Abstract

This paper summaries the results of a program directed to an assessment of the potential for inter­ ference to Georgia Power Company communications systems from the PAVE PAWS radar at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. Susceptibility data were recorded on selected UHF and microwave receivers and compared to predicted PAVE PAWS field strength levels to identify potential interference problems. Several potential problems were identified which must be addressed to preclude PAVE PAWS related interference effects on communication system performancee.
