Abstract
This paper describes the current efforts underway to set
up matched long-term continuously running spectrum
observatories in the US (in Chicago and Blacksburg) and
in Turku, Finland. The measurement equipment setup is
described, along with the architecture for the networked
database used to aggregate, archive and share the
spectrum measurement data collected across the multiple
international locations. High performance computer
infrastructure to permit
analysis and as appropriate fusion specific elements of
the terabytes of data is described. The measurement
parameters and spectrum measurement band plans are
listed. Preliminary
analysis results are also provided - particularly, simple
occupancy statistics in Chicago and in Turku. To
demonstrate the utility of the global spectrum
observatory network, an interesting example is provided
that compares and contrasts the very different signals
that occupy the same spectral band, but in different
geographic regions.
