ESA NGSO-Sense: Prototype for measuring NGSO satellite network interference and radiofrequency characteristics
Project Description:
The objective of ESA NGSO-Sense projects is to develop a ground terminal prototype, as well as the measurement procedure, for detecting and identifying interference; and measuring Radio Frequency (RF) characteristics from a NGSO satellite network.
