To make the experimental interference situations more like actual environments, the LEO trajectories are obtained from two-line element set (TLE) data. Airborne interference sources with various altitudes move parallel to the LEO trajectories, and a jamming to signal (J\/S) ratio is calculated based on the relative angle differences between the ground station, the LEO satellite, and the interference source. To accurately calculate the J\/S ratio, we should apply the sidelobe gain from which the interference signal enters to the ground station antenna. In order to calculate the relative angle difference \u03c8, the coordinates of the satellite and the interference source are converted from the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) to the ground station-centered east\u2013north-up (ENU) system. The resulting J\/S ratio demonstrates that the distance and the relative angle difference \u03c8 between the ground stations, LEO satellite, and airborne interference source appear to be important factors causing changes in the J\/S ratio. Among them, the relative angle difference \u03c8, which determines the sidelobe gain of the ground station antenna, is the most significant factor affecting the J\/S ratio variation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16020321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,12]],"date-time":"2024-01-12T09:24:11Z","timestamp":1705051451000},"page":"321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Downlink Analysis of a Low-Earth Orbit Satellite Considering an Airborne Interference Source Moving on Various Trajectory"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0265-1144","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eunjung","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Hongik University, Seoul 04066, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"YoungJu","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radar and EW Technology Center Agency for Defense Development, Daejeon 34186, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5683-2402","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"JungHoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radar and EW Technology Center Agency for Defense Development, Daejeon 34186, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8409-6964","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hosung","family":"Choo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Hongik University, Seoul 04066, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.26866\/jees.2023.3.r.160","article-title":"Analysis method for determining optimal synthetic aperture time using estimated range and doppler cone angle at the center of synthetic aperture length","volume":"23","author":"Kim","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
