A RF environmental field test for the proposed Galileo Sensor Station site was done by Alcatel Alenia technical team contracted by European Space Agency (ESA) and the Space Geodesy division of Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute at the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) site in Tamla University Campus, Jeju from June 21, 2007 to June 24, 2007. Full band and in-band 24 hour observation for radio frequency interference, precise positioning, and multipath on three proposed antenna locations for Galileo signal were executed. The main purpose of this survey is to verify the results of previous test on 2006 by KASI. The preliminary analysis of the results and a full investigation also had been done by ESA under the permission of KASI until the end of July, 2007.
