abstract

 

The radio dynamic zone (RDZ) concept, and its associated zone management systems (ZMS), has emerged as a practical approach to dealing with radio frequency interference (RFI) associated with experimental or scientific facilities that use RF spectrum. A key requirement for RDZs is the ability to perform spectrum sensing continuously and to derive actionable spectrum management intelligence from that data. This paper describes our work to develop adaptable data and processing pipelines in the OpenZMS zone management system to facilitate such continuous spectrum sensing and intelligence in an RDZ.
