Interference and compatibility issues between the mobile satellite service and the fixed service in the Ku band

This paper examines the potential interference between the mobile satellite service and the fixed service in the Ku band. At first, the aggregate and the single-entry interference criteria for the terrestrial fixed service stations are calculated. Then, all the parameters that influence the interference magnitude are presented and extensively analyzed. In order to evaluate the impact of each one of them in the interference calculations, different scenarios are taken into consideration and simulations are conducted. The results are thoroughly presented and analyzed.
