Interference testing device, method, and system

Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for interference testing are disclosed. In some embodiments, an interference testing system includes a satellite antenna including an antenna control unit having a processor to perform satellite pointing and tracking. The interference testing system also includes a tracking command device operable to generate and communicate a signal to the tracking software, where the signal includes satellite pointing and tracking information to the tracking software. The tracking software is operable to use pointing and tracking information from a GNSS device and position information to scan for and detect satellites and signals communicated therethrough, and the tracking command device includes a modulator to generate one or more radio-frequency (RF) signals for an interference purpose using a detected satellite that is being tracked.
