Abstract

The IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) Technical Committee on Frequency Allocation in Remote Sensing (FARS) is charged with providing recommendations and responses to queries on interference and frequency allocation issues in passive and active microwave remote sensing. In response to questions stemming from proposals to develop ultra-wideband (UWB) vehicular radar systems operating in the 22-27 GHz frequency range a technical assessment on the potential for radio frequency interference to passive Earth remote sensing activities was prepared. The study suggests that interference to the passive services at power levels several orders of magnitude above threshold levels is likely from commercial deployment of vehicular UWB radar and telecommunications systems.
