Abstract

A microcomputer based software for analysis of radio frequency interference is presented in this paper. The latest version 5 of the spectral analysis tool (SAT) contains numerous features essential for effective spectrum management. Included in SAT windows menu are editors of signal/interference, filters, spikes, power spectrum plots, calculators for spectral power, telecommunication link budget tables and interference analysis tables. Configuration menu for the analysis table contains options on antenna, amplifier and receiver for ground terminal characterization. The complete software package of SAT with Windows installation program fits within a single 3.5 inch diskette for easy distribution. An example on the application of SAT is also included
