Parameters for the calculation of radar sensitivity to interferencesa.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| G | Maximum antenna gain | 27 dBi |
| PT | Pointing in elevation | ~6–8° |
| BW | Beam width | 10° at 3 dB |
| S min | Minimum detectable signal at antenna output | −103 dBm |
| CL | Cable loss | 2 dB |
| RBW | Typical receiver bandwidth | 5.5 MHz |
| S/I | Signal to interference ratio | 12 dB |
| MG | Aeronautical safety margin and multiple technology allowance | 12 dB |
a
We follow here the methodology by Frequentis (2007), where a conservative interference threshold at receiver input is calculated as: S min + G − CL − (S/I) − MG, which amounts to −102 dBm.
