- Abstract
In this study, we aim to analyze the electromagnetic interference (EMI) regarding the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) caused by base stations in the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) frequency band. By analyzing the frequency bands used by the transmitting and receiving devices and the surrounding environmental parameters and utilizing an approach to predicting radio wave propagation loss that is based on deterministic methods, we conclude by comparing the predicted received power at the FAST with its interference protection threshold. Our analysis demonstrates that, currently, only 55.31% of IMT-2000 base stations in the FAST radio quiet zone (RQZ) meet the protection threshold. Additionally, this article verifies the applicability and accuracy of the radio wave propagation model used in the research based on field strength measurements. Overall, this study provides valuable insights for improving the electromagnetic environment surrounding FAST and reducing the EMI caused by mobile communication base stations. It also provides corresponding analysis methods and useful suggestions for analyzing electromagnetic radiation interference in other radio telescopes.
