bibliography of literature survey, mention it here.)

The Office of Telecommunications (OT) undertook a detailed program to measure
and analyze spectrum utilization in the 2.7 to 2.9 GHz band in the Los Angeles
and San Francisco areas in support of an Office of Telecommunications Policy (OTP)
Spectrum Resource Assessment task. The measurement program consisted of on-site
visits to compare predicted and actual PPI interference patterns, and utilization
of the Radio Spectrum Measurement System (RSMS) van to validate the component
models used in predicting radar-to-radar interference.
