Electromagnetic background generated by low earth orbit satellites on the earth's surface

A methodology for evaluation the levels of electromagnetic background (EMB) created near the earth's surface by mega-constellations of low earth orbit satellites is proposed. Analysis of EMB levels at the earth's surface created by these satellite’s mega-constellations indicate that with their full-scale deployment, the average level of artificial EMB of the SHF range at the earth's surface can exceed the average intensity of natural EMB by many orders of magnitude. Such an essential change in physical characteristics of operating electromagnetic environment for ground radio services and habitat requires serious attention and further in-depth analysis.
