How to Register a VGOS Radio Telescope at ITU and Why It Is Important
Abstract
VGOS radio telescopes enable observations in the range of 2-14 GHz and are much more receptive for unwanted radio frequency interference. Some spaceborne transmitters may cause detrimental radiation to VGOS receivers. The registration of new VGOS sites at ITU is important for obtaining administrative protection. This may help to avoid direct illumination by strong radars. This paper introduces the risk of damage and explains the registration procedure.
