The frequency assign ment problem is formulated as a multivariable search problem by choosing the objective function, -which is to be minimized by the search algorithm, to be the interference criterion and by choosing the independent variables of the objective function, which are to be selected by the search algorithm, as the operational frequencies of the communi cation or radar system. The successful solutions of two radar intersite frequency assignment problems obtained by using optimization techniques are discussed. In the first illustration a frequency assignment minimizing inter ference is determined for a deployment of four surveillance radar systems; in the second iUustration, a frequency assignment optimizing the utilization of the spectrum is determined for a deployment of seven surveiUance radar systems.","PeriodicalId":296335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1976 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126685063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was designed for use with a conventional receiver to measure weak, near-zone electric fields of unknown polarization, such as leakage emanations from electronic equipment placed within a shielded enclosure. The antenna system consists of three mutually-orthogonal active dipoles, each 31 cm long by 3 cm diameter. The entire frequency range of each of the three field components is amplified and used to modulate a high-speed light emitting diode (LED) located inside the dipole. The modulated infrared (IR) signals are guided through glass fibers 10 meters long which connect the \"isolated\" dipoles to avalanche photodiodes at the far end of the fiber guides. These photodetectors recover the RF modulation from the IR carrier for input to the receiver. The fiber-optic antenna system described in this paper has high sensitivity (down to 10 μV/m) and fast response time (RF modulations up to 150 MHz). The read-out indication at each receiver frequency is proportional to the Hermitian magnitude of E, which is the root-sum-square value of three orthogonal E field components at the measurement point. The linear dynamic range of the antenna system depends on the receiver bandwidth and signal frequency. It is 70 to 75 dB at frequencies between 0.02 and 2 MHz (for 0.5 kHz receiver bandwidth), 60 to.70 dB between 2 and 25 MHz (for 5 kHz receiver bandwidth) and 40 to 55 dB between 25 and 200 MHz (for 50 kHz bandwidth).","PeriodicalId":296335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1976 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115800524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective is to map intentional and nonintentional electromagnetic emissions from the earth's surface in the microwave range. The experiment proposed below emphasizes emissions aimed tangent to the earth's sur face and normal to the earth's surface, but the method can be adapted for use at an angle above the horizontal. High-gain antennas look toward the horizon or below and rotate, sweeping out a cycloidal swath oh the earth's surface as the satellite moves in its orbit. We develop electrical and mechanical sweep parameters and examine both the probability that the receiver's main beam will correctly detect a given emitter, and the probability that the receiver will erroneously measure powerful emitters though not pointing to them. A brief survey of the emitter densities that the receiver is likely to see provides a rationale for the selection of certain design parameters.","PeriodicalId":296335,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1976 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132031737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
