Abstract
Recently, many low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations have been proposed as an infrastructure for data, voice, and wireless communications. Among these is Motorola’s M-Star system, which uses a downlink frequency band at 37.5 to 40.5 GHz. This band overlaps the band at 37.5 to 38.0 GHz that is allocated to space research service (space to Earth). Thus, interference from M-Star to the Deep Space Network (DSN) is possible. Here we present a radio frequency interference (RFI) analysis based on simulation of the dynamic satellite constellation using the Satellite Orbit Analysis Program (SOAP). The results suggest that band sharing between the DSN and M-Star may be possible.
