Frequency Interference Impact on GNSS L1 Band Airborne Receiver Operations
Description / Abstract:
This report documents a study conducted by RTCA Special
Committee 159 in response to a request from the Federal Aviation
Administration to address the issue of compatibility between the
operation of a terrestrial wireless broadband network in the bands
1525-1559/1626.5-1660.5 MHz by LightSquared, pursuant to its FCC
