Electromagnetic Compatibility And Interference Practical Analyses For Beam Waveguide Ground Antennas

The Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT) is currently operated by the Italian astrophysics institute (INAF). Following its upgrade to transmission (TX) capabilities, planned by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) for the commanding of deep space probes, an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analysis is performed in order to evaluate the impact on the reception (RX) capabilities currently used by the radio astronomers. Using the same simulation aids, an electromagnetic interference (EMI) study is performed with respect to the main auxiliary ground station equipment and in the event of overflying aircrafts. The biological hazard is finally evaluated on human beings.
