Earth Exploration Satellite Service
• Since 1972, spaceborne microwave radiometers have provided all-weather day-night observations of our planet
• Over 25 environmental variables are estimated from microwave data• Data used in operational and research weather prediction, climatology
research and monitoring, and environmental observation.• NASA’s Earth Observing System covers 6.9 GHz – 2.5 THz

Engineering Approach – SOE
• Survivability: avoid damage from RFI• Operability
– Measure without error in the presence of interference– Receiver selectivity
• Excisability– Receive interference but can remove it– Detection and excision
• Spectral (sub-banding)
• Temporal (pulse blanking)
• Statistical or amplitude (kurtosis)

NTIA filings
• Frequency Dependent Rejection method– Transmitter spectrum– Receiver bandpass response– Rejection based on frequency

Closing Thoughts
• EESS and RAS have differences (up vs. down, global vs. local)
• EESS and RAS have similarities (broad spectrum usage, need for spectrum outside of allocations)
• Collaboration possibilities exist– Spectrum surveys– EESS must put RAS technologies into space– WRC-11 agenda item for f>275 GHz
• Solution space– Regulatory– Technological
