ABSTRACT:
A system and method for determining the location of a source of interference for a communications satellite. The system has an antenna array located on the earth facing panel of the communications satellite. The method and system determine the direction of a source of interference relative to the satellite's own coordinate system. The angle of arrival of the interference signal is determined with respect to the horizontal and vertical baselines of the coordinate system and by comparing the outputs of the appropriate antennas in the antenna array.
