Abstract
This article introduces a method to estimate the aggregate interference from future highdensity fixed service emitters to deep-space Earth stations. In this method, the area surrounding the deep-space Earth station is geometrically partitioned, and this partition is used to model the correlation of interferences. The propagation losses are calculated considering the terrain and the atmospheric conditions. The method uses statistical models and their numerical approximations to estimate the aggregate interference. This method is applied to the areas surrounding the deep-space Earth stations of NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) at Goldstone–USA, Robledo–Spain, and Tidbinbilla–Australia to estimate the aggregate interference received from any given geographical distribution of high-density fixed service emitters in the 37-GHz band. It also provides a basis to establish emission limits for these emitters to ensure compatibility of operation between the high-density fixed service and the space research service.
