RFI : a case study of the University of Palermo

The work shows the results of testing conducted from last years with the GNNS CORS of University of Palermo, in term of radio frequency interference, by a team composed of researchers of Dipartimento di Rappresentazione (DIRAP), Faculty of Engineering of Palermo and to the Laboratory of Physics of the Agenzia Regionale per la Protezione dell’Ambiente (ARPA) of the Sicilian Region. The CORS is first installed inside a scientific network with 9 permanent station located in western Sicily with distance between 22 and 80 kilometres and carry out for real time positioning experience. The main goal of the work is to verify the radio frequency interference which has been subjected CORS in last years. The methodological approach consists of several measures of electromagnetic field, supported by the analysis of raw data with scientific software (TEQC, QC2SKY, NDA).
