Figure 5-19 - Input power on top antenna element on October 16 in L5 band
It was an isolated event and caused the loss of tracking of some satellites and even caused
degradation on the C/NO levels of most L1 signals coming from the same satellites, as shown on
Figure 5-20. These impacts were caused by a very wideband pulse that covered the whole 50 MHz
spectrum (and possibly more) with a waveform similar to a noise-like signal.

Figure 5-20 - GUI snapshot at the moment of very strong RFI in L5 on October 16
Given its isolated occurrence in time and space (moored in the Unterwarnow cannal, see Figure
5-21), and the waveform, the most probable cause was an electric surge or spark in the system
that affected the antenna chains in this frequency.
