VI. Summary
Currently it is not possible to effectively detect unauthorized emissions of satellite
signals, and the more its overhearing or recording. There are measurement
stations in the market, but they operate in a very limited bandwidth. For example,
Mobile Measuring Station made by KenBIT company operates in 20 MHz–3 GHz,
while the signals are transmitted by satellite also at higher frequencies, such as DVB-S
takes the band from 10.7 GHz to 14.5 GHz, or Teledesit that works at about 29 GHz.
The result of this project will be a unique solution to examine the full range
of satellite frequencies – from a few hundred MHz to 32 GHz. Owing to this it will
be possible to draw radio (spectral) maps of existing satellite system, both for
the design of new satellite system as well as for identifying unauthorized changes
to the radio spectrum, indicating the appearance of unauthorized emissions.
For the purpose of the project it is expected to call TransSat consortium,
that will be composed of research units (Military Communication Institute
and the Institute of Aeronautics and Applied Mechanics of Warsaw University
of Technology), and the companies involved in the subject of converging with
the problems of the project, namely: Astri Polska (APL) and WOOD System
Integrator (WOOD).
In the results of the project may be interested: Office of Electronic Communications,
which deals with the detection and analysis of radio signals and
the detection of illegal emissions, the state security services such as The Internal
Security Agency and the Military Counterintelligence Services, as well as manufacturers
and global integrators such solutions for the detection and interception
of unauthorized satellite emissions.
