Sensor Placement and Detection Coverage for Spectrum Sharing in the 3.5 GHz Band Data

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-08-21
This dataset contains the results of simulated deployments of Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) sensors along the coasts of the contiguous United States in the 3.5 GHz band. The Federal Communications Commission rules for spectrum sharing operation in this band require the ESC sensors to detect the presence of a federal incumbent shipborne radar for interference protection. The results include sensor locations, detection coverage, probability of outage, and probability of false alarm for each Dynamic Protection Area (DPA), i.e., a predefined geographic area inside which radar may experience harmful interference.
