Interference survey NAVCOM Receiving Sites

Robert T. Disney and William Q. Crichlow

Abstract: To assist NAV/SEEC in the evaluation of locations for a NAVCOM receiving site, the Electromagnetic Interference Environment Program Area personnel conducted a field measurement and analysis program. Interference levels from base supported, man-made noise source s were measured and compared with expected atmospheric radio-noise levels. Comparisons were made among the three sites of principal concern. From the interference standpoint alone, no clear-cut decision can be reached as to the superiority of any one location.
