Empowering Spectrum Analysts
Features
Deployed as an extensible, customizable MATLAB-based standalone executable, Power Spectrum provides a radiofrequency interference (RFI) impact analysis capability that enables analysts to perform spectrum compatibility assessments. These assessments evaluate a mission of interest against the background electromagnetic environment (EME). Furthermore, Power Spectrum helps spectrum analysts streamline their workflow by providing data insights, customizable visualizations, and user-friendly navigation. It facilitates the quick identification of anomalies, enabling decision making with ease and significantly increasing the efficiency of evaluative tasks.
Visualizer
Observe satellite orbits for missions under evaluation and see exactly when interference occurs, where it occurs, and who it involves during a simulation. Identify mission operating hazards and who to coordinate with at a glance to avoid interference collisions.
Results Summary
Display a summary overview of interference analysis results between a mission of interest (both as an interferer and as a victim) and other missions overlapped in frequency and bandwidth, including peak interference levels and associated interference level CCDF plots for the set of particular communications link pairs involved.
Report Generation
Rapidly generate an interference analysis summary report with large quantities of information automatically filled out at the push of a button, including a table detailing RF parameters for the mission of interest, tables listing interference levels between each link of the mission under evaluation, and modifiable boilerplate text explaining analysis methodology and other notes.
Seamless User Interface
Enable easy, intuitive configuration of interference simulations to initiate analyses, manage progress, and rapidly generate statistical results across all permutations of interfering and victim links.
Comprehensive Background Records Set
Integrated data retrieval from existing databases for approved and pending frequency licenses across RF spectrum used by space missions, combined with a Data Quality Enhancement (DQE) utility that estimates missing RF parameters using rigorous statistical methods.
Frequency Dependent Rejection
Uses interference spectra, receiver roll-off characteristics, and center-frequency separation to determine the amount of interferer energy rejected by a receiving system, based on International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector Recommendation SM.337 and the Joint Spectrum Center Receiver Degradation Handbook.
Verify Orbital Motion and Visibility Between Objects
Power Spectrum features a visualizer that transforms raw position and interference level data from interference scenario simulations into an interactive visualization, providing analysts the ability to observe spacecraft orbits in relation to their respective reference bodies and interfering and victim links so that interference interactions of concern can be identified and verified efficiently.
- Provides visual confirmation of link interference
- Presents charts & metrics
- Displays motions of platforms in both Earth- and Moon-centric orbits
- Displays contacts between transmitting and receiving ends of missions analyzed in simulation
Create Custom Plots
Power Spectrum provides an Analytics tab that allows users access to formatted plots created using Plotly in JavaScript. Users can take supporting data from the visualizer, such as contact duration events or information on the interference levels between each pair, and plot it however they wish. The outputted graph object can be easily implemented into reports.
Designed for Impact
Determining the interference impacts to and from communications links or other emissions used by a space mission of interest can be a daunting task, especially in cases where there are a large number of systems that overlap in frequency and bandwidth. Teltrium’s Power Spectrum provides an intuitive interface to visualize spacecraft motion and RF signal paths of missions of interest and overlapped systems and to display interference analysis results in tabular and graphical formats, thus facilitating the rapid identification of scenarios that may require further study and coordination to minimize harmful interference effects.
