Detecting the source of interference

"Addressing satellite downlink interference is crucial to ensure the reliability of satellite communication services, which play a vital role in various sectors, including telecommunications, broadcasting, weather forecasting, and remote sensing. Traditionally, satellite ground stations have had large swaths of spectrum available in C-band, but with the refarming of much of that spectrum to cellular communications, conflicts are increasingly common. Striking a balance between the expanding cellular network infrastructure and safeguarding satellite communication services is essential for the seamless coexistence of both technologies in our modern interconnected world."
