[sci.electronics] Interference on 2454 MHz

michael@fe2o3.UUCP (Michael Katzmann) (09/06/89)

We have been operating Television Point to point links across the U.S. for
a number of years and have noticed a puzzeling interference on 2.5 GHz 
channel 8A (2454.5 MHz).

	The Interference is irregular in form (i.e. doesn't look to be
intelligently modulated), it covers about 10 MHz, varies in intensity
and is noticeable almost everywhere we go across the U.S. and Canada.

	Has anybody got any ideas what we have here?  Does anyone
know if there is are solar radio emissions at this frequency?

	Any help would be appreciated!

	2450 +/- 50 Mhz is one of the part 18 ISM channels authorised by
the FCC.  I always thought that microwave ovens operated at 2460 Mhz but
could be wrong.

	Chances are, its some industrial, scientific, or medical application
in common use wherever people are found.....

	It's also listed as "radiolocation" in part 2 of the rules, perhaps
some kind of radar...

Isn't that near the emission frequency for Hydrogen?
I remember seeing that note on a spectral chart once and
wondered what, if anything, appears at that frequency.
