RFI-5G Mission Analysis and Requirements

Project description

This project is performed as part of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing/Frequency Allocations in Remote Sensing (GRSS/FARS) Technical Committee project to monitor the spectrum with the 24 GHz water vapor band and the low part of the 5G 26 GHz band.

The system has to be able to perform a power spectrum analysis dividing the 24-25 GHz band in smaller parts and output a voltage level related with the power of said part measured at the input. The system has to be small enough to fit in a PocketQube, a 5 cm side cubic picosatellite.

The payload is to be flown in two ways with the same configuration: as a satellite and drone attached to a drone.
