  National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has
proposed vast exclusions zones between radar and Worldwide Interoperability for
Microwave Access (WiMAX) systems which are also being considered as geographic
separations between radars and 3.5 GHz Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems
without investigating any changes induced by the distinct nature of LTE as
opposed to WiMAX. This paper performs a detailed system-level analysis of the
interference effects from shipborne radar systems into LTE systems. Even though
the results reveal impacts of radar interference on LTE systems performance,
they provide clear indications of conspicuously narrower exclusion zones for
LTE vis-\`a-vis those of WiMAX and pave the way toward deploying LTE at 3.5 GHz
within the coastline populous areas.
