Abstract

An analysis is carried out for influence of electromagnetic disturbances caused with electric propulsion on sensitivity characteristics of on-board spacecraft radio systems. An integrated approach is used to describe a radio channel and the electric propulsion as a unified electrodynamics system. Theoretical and experimental techniques are presented to estimate a realistic sensitivity of receiving channels in the presence of operating electric propulsion. Recommendations are suggested to integrate electric propulsions with spacecraft radio systems.
