Summary
The study reported investigates the likelihood of interference by FDM/FM transmissions from geostationary satellites operating in the frequency range 3500-3700 MHz upon proposed FAA limited-surveillance radars operating in the same band. It is concluded, based upon the analysis, that the FAA limited-surveillance radars and the geostationary satellites can function in a common band, 3500-3700 MHz with only slight degradation to the radar coverage.
