Space radio monitoring

General information

The Kyiv Space Radio Monitoring Station was established in 2009 as a part of radio monitoring system of the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies (the UCRF). The UCRF is responsible for spectrum management and spectrum monitoring in frequency bands of general use.  On 15 February 2011 the Kyiv Space Radio Monitoring Station was included into ITU List VIII “List of International Monitoring Stations”.

Kyiv Space Radio Monitoring Station is designed for measuring parameters of emissions of earth stations and satellite stations on carrier frequencies and performing earth stations location (geolocation) in C (3.4-5.25 and 5.725-7.025 GHz) and Ku (10.7-14.8 GHz) frequency bands. The station is able to observe retransmitted emissions of earth stations from satellites, located on GSO at orbital positions from 20°W (azimuth 237° and elevation 15°) to 80°E (azimuth 123° and elevation 15°).
