= Enabling Spectrum Coexistence of 5G mmWave and Passive Weather Sensing =
**WINLAB Summer Internship 2024**

**Advisors:** Narayan Mandayam, Ivan Seskar

**Graduates:** Hariharan Venkat

**Group Members:** Despoina Kosmopoulou, John Allen Manego, Mark Moroney, Prakshab Adhikari, Archisa Arora

== Project Objective ==
The 5G data frequency is close to the weather band, which can result in spectral leakage affecting weather satellites and affecting weather prediction patterns. Our task is to develop an experimental pipeline to measure spectral leakage on weather satellites. We will use Phased Array Antenna Modules (PAAMs) to mimic the 5G satellite and a spectrum analyzer to mimic the weather satellite.
