GPS Satellite Interference in Hungary
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
Civil users of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) in Hungary occasionally experience interference at the 1575.42-MHz GPS signal frequency. As the application of the GPS technique spreads rapidly in our country, radio frequency interference (RFI) should be considered a serious threat. The new geodetic control network (OG-PSH) in Hungary is based on GPS measurements and incorporates more than 1100 sites. The paper reports the experiences gained during the establishment of the network. Interference sources were tracked to ground-based digital data transmissions for telecommunications, which operate mostly in the Western part of Hungary. Telecommunication regulations exceptionally allow such transmissions in specified countries. In order to warn potential GPS users, the interference sources are being mapped.
