• Abstract:
  A program of L-band (1535-1660 MHz) electromagnetic (EM) noise measurements conducted on ships is described. The magnitude and duration of EM noise on ships is of particular significance in terms of potential radio frequency interference (RFI) to future Marine Satellite (MARSAT) rceiving systems of ships. The program involved the measurement and identification of EM noise levels originating at internal sources on the ships selected, and external sources at coastal locations within radio line-of-sight. The instrumentation and measurement procedures employed are described and illustrated.
