Abstract
The increasing density of electrical and electronic circuits in Deep Space Station systems for computation, control, and numerous related functions has combined with the extension of system performance requirements calling for higher speed circuitry along with broader bandwidths. This has progressively increased the number of potential sources of radio frequency interference (RFI) inside the stations. Also, the extension of spectrum usage both in power and frequency as well as the greater density of usage at all Jrequencies for national and international satellite communications, space research, earth resource operations and defense, and particularly the huge expansion of airborne electronic warfare (EW) and electronic countermeasures (ECM) operations in the Mojave area have greatly increased the potential number and severity of radio frequency interference incidents. This article describes the various facets of this problem and the efforts to eliminate or minimize the impact of interference on Deep Space Network support of deep space flight projects.
