Sentinel-1 works by illuminating a 250km long and 5km wide swath of land below the satellite with a pulse of C-band radio waves (shown as the red triangle). If interference is detected, its source (depicted as a yellow dot above) will be located somewhere within this swath.
Other military radars that operate on the same C-band frequency include naval radars such as the Japanese FCS-3, the Chinese Type-381 and the Russian S-400 Surface to Air Missile system. All should be detectable when switched on and in view of Sentinel-1.
# How to find a military radar
in order to monitor a large area for the presence of ground-based radars in the past seven years, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to your area of interest by dragging the map and zooming in or out.
2. Where it says “Display imagery aggregated by”, select “Year” from the dropdown menu.
3. Click on a random date in each year to load data from that entire year
- For example, clicking on June 10th, 2018 will load a composite image for all of 2018.
- Repeat this for each year.
4.If you spot interference, click on it to reveal the dates that the signal is detected.
5. Zoom to the interference stripe and gradually decrease opacity to find the source of the interference using the high resolution satellite basemap.
