The Defense Innovation Unit has issued a commercial solutions opening seeking technologies to minimize C-band co-channel interference between satellite communications and 5G systems.
DIU said it is looking to prototype a mitigation system that will work to isolate received satcom signals in the presence of 5G radio frequency interference to produce sustainable, high-quality satcom signal reception.
According to the CSO, the prototype must be able to reduce co-channel 5G interference by a minimum of 15 dB over the specified bandwidth and support the mitigation process for a minimum instantaneous bandwidth of 100 MHz for 5G interference.
A fully functional prototype must also provide near-real-time cancellation of 5G interference and support processing of multiple satcom signals.
Interested parties have until June 26 to submit responses.
