Technical Education Webinar Series

Title: Coexistence and Spectrum Sharing of 5G and Radar Systems

Date: April 13, 2022

Time: 8am PT / 11am ET

Sponsored by: Rohde & Schwarz

Presented by: Emil Olbrich, Founder of PrimeLime LLC

Abstract:
As the FCC and NTIA continue to refarm spectrum to satisfy the consumer demand for wireless services, the pressure for valuable spectrum adjacent to radiolocation services frequency band has been on ongoing contention between incumbent spectrum users, national spectrum policy makers, and wireless operators. Over the years, there have been numerous conflicts and concerns in the L-, S-, and C-bands. Most recently, the impact of 5G C-Band systems on radio altimeters used in instrument landings has come into focus.

This webinar looks at different methods of assessing coexistence and spectrum sharing, show some examples of common household systems with dynamic spectrum utilization, and provide a reference example of a closed loop method to assess the functional performance of a radar system in the presence of communication signals.
