An emerging issue
· Radio systems for voice/data were not generally of concern, even when they have stronger emissions
· A cell phone emits more power than a car radar

· Radiolocation and radionavigation systems (radar) are of such concern
­ They typically use much higher power ­ Some w/ low power operate at high frequency, perhaps in proximity to the telescope

The basics
· As summarized in ITU-R Report RA.2188 it takes ~ 5-35 mW input power to burn out a modern RAS receiver
­ 1 V across 50 ohm, what could be simpler? ­ SiS junction or transistor amplifier ~ same

· There's much we don't know but it seems to happen quickly, depends only on wattage
­ Some tests done for defense in 1980's ­ The most sensitive devices had more problems at high signal levels, development was stopped

Coda
Lesser but permanent damage can be inflicted by substantially lower input power but quantifying this is impractical

Why higher frequency is worse
for terrestrial interferers

Cell phones radiate more power than car radars by far (factor 10) but cell phone emission is isotropic and has low flux MM-wave portable devices emit less power but have narrow beams and higher eirp It is much easier to focus all the transmitted power onto the surface of an RAS dish or a stray sidelobe

How near can car radar be allowed?
For 76 GHz radar HPBW = 6o = 0.1 radian So an antenna fills the radar beam at distance = 10 antenna diameters For 100m telescope, 1 km For 30m telescope, 300 m For ALMA, 120m

How does 0.1nW = 10-10 W compare with the receiver noise power? kTB = 1.6x10-23 * 15 * 16x109 = 4x10-12 W
