Anomaly and interference detection is a very valuable feature of modern flight radios and ground support equipment. With the rise of software-defined-radios (SDRs), this has now become a possibility. In the case of flight radios, the ability to monitor the channel for any possible interference gives rise to the possibility of mitigating the interference by potentially shifting frequency bands. This has previously occurred in flight for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter when an interference tone from its CRISM instrument caused its Electra relay radio receiver processing to fail. However, the detection of this interference tone was manual and was facilitated by the Electra radio’s ability to capture short duration, narrowband open loop captures. Considering that spacecraft components fail gradually, and interference patterns of other instruments may eventually begin to impact the radio, it is crucial to enable automatic and …
