Systems and methods for communicating with satellites via non-compliant antennas
First Claim
1. A system for managing interferences in a satellite system using non-compliant antennas, the system comprising:
- a coordination database comprising information regarding a current communications environment of the satellite system;
a device in communication with at least one terrestrial terminal using a non-compliant antenna and operative to communicate with the satellite system and the coordination database;
an antenna simulation device operative to calculate a radiation pattern of the non-compliant antenna, wherein;
the coordination database is operative to track orbital positions of satellites in the radiation pattern of the non-compliant antenna, andthe device is operative to perform interference calculations using information in the coordination database to determine possible orbital slots for operations using the non-compliant antenna and whether the non-compliant antenna can communicate with the satellite system.

Abstract
A system and method allow end users the ability to operate using non-compliant antennas. A coordination database may be continually updated with respect to geographic coordinates, time planning, frequency and orbital positions. Further, the system and method may utilize a tool for easily calculating interference resulting from the use of non-compliant antennas. These components, amongst others, spot possible slots in the frequency spectrum for non-compliance operations. A device may be integrated into terrestrial terminals to perform a sound, realistic and up-to-date interference calculation for equipment in a particular environment. The device may determine the level and extent of safety for operating the equipment in the particular environment.
