Abstract:	This paper provides an initial characterization of the potential out-of-band interference of ultrawide band signals to the 960–1610 MHz radio navigation frequency band and the GPS L1, L2 and L5 subbands. Specifically, it considers the direct sequence ultrawide band and multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplex ultrawide band signals and characterizes the out-of-band interference by integration of the average theoretical power spectral over specific frequency bands. Since the parameter space for comparing the two ultrawide band signals is large, we consider a subset that is representative of normal operating conditions. The interference potential is dependent on the ultrawide band signal parameters chosen and the frequency band of interest. We will show how the results vary with choice of parameters and identify some operating conditions that may have relatively less interference potential than others.
