SPS Effects on Optical and Radio Astronomy

commutator loading or switchgear operation, and any fluctuation in diode current, e.g., as a result of wideband internal diode noise sources, will modulate the reflected power and radiate noise sidebands. Although no magnitude estimate is given for this effect, the radiated noise can be expected to most strongly affect those installations within a few rectenna diameters (10 km) of a rectenna.
