Abstract
A satellite ground station ( ) mitigates potential interference from a fixed service installation ( ) by scanning a field of view and logging potentially interfering transmitters in a data structure ( ). The data structure includes fields for azimuth, elevation, and frequency channel, and when complete, forms a map of potentially interfering transmitters within the field of view of the ground station. When a satellite traverses the field of view such that the ground station may interfere with, or be interfered with by, a known potentially interfering transmitter as identified in the map, the ground station takes mitigation measures such as changing frequency channels or handing-off to a different satellite.
