1、 Rec. ITU-R M.1041-2 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R M.1041-2 Future amateur radio systems (Question ITU-R 48/8) (1994-1998-2003) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) Question ITU-R 48/8; b) that different future systems are under study; c) that system compatibility is necessary for internatio
2、nal operation; d) the need for flexible systems capable of adapting to new developments and natural disasters; e) that the amateur and amateur-satellite bands below 5 GHz are heavily used, and there is a need to reduce interference within these services; f) that the bands above 5 GHz will be subject
3、 to increasing use; g) that to communicate at distances beyond line of sight, propagation characteristics of the bands above 144 MHz usually require use of terrestrial or satellite radio-relays; h) that there is increasing need for high-speed digital communications; j) that commonality of hardware,
4、software and protocols is desirable in order to achieve economies of scale and reduce the cost of systems, recommends that future systems in the amateur and amateur-satellite services should incorporate the following objectives and characteristics, and take into account the following frequency band
5、considerations: 1 Objectives General objectives for future systems in the amateur and amateur-satellite services should: 1.1 General 1.1.1 Promote design of robust systems capable of providing communication during natural disasters. 1.1.2 Accommodate the needs of amateur operators in urban, rural an
6、d remote areas, including those in developing countries. 1.1.3 Make systems widely available to amateur operators at an acceptable cost, recognizing that amateur operators fund their own stations. 2 Rec. ITU-R M.1041-2 1.1.4 Develop compatible and interoperable terrestrial and satellite systems. 1.1
7、.5 Provide a flexible architecture that will facilitate introduction of technology advancements. 1.1.6 Minimize radiated power. 1.2 Technical 1.2.1 Promote increased spectrum efficiency, e.g. through use of automatic power control, automatic link establishment, adaptive antennas, diversity reception
8、, digital signal processing, software defined radio and access techniques such as time division multiple access (TDMA) and code division multiple access (CDMA). 1.2.2 Ensure information integrity through error control techniques. 1.2.3 Encourage the development of common interfaces for the interconn
9、ection of equipment. 1.3 Operational 1.3.1 Provide for operational flexibility and self-organization. 1.3.2 Support international roaming within the amateur services. 1.3.3 Permit amateur stations to gain access to particular capabilities made possible by advances in technology, e.g. automatic langu
10、age translation, databases, etc. 1.4 Methods of radiocommunication Support, among others, the following: 1.4.1 Morse code In accordance with ITU-T Recommendation F.1, Division B. 1.4.2 Narrow-band direct-printing International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2, as defined in ITU-T Recommendation F.1, Divisio
11、n C, and Recommendation ITU-R M.625 except for modified station identification. 1.4.3 Telephony Telephony of commercial quality. 1.4.4 Facsimile In accordance with appropriate ITU-T Recommendations, subject to radio environments. 1.4.5 Data transmission Synchronous and asynchronous in accordance wit
12、h appropriate ITU-T Recommendations, consistent with bandwidth limitations and propagation at MF/HF and higher frequencies. 1.4.6 Television Slow and fast scan television using appropriate regional standards, including digital techniques. Rec. ITU-R M.1041-2 3 1.4.7 New transmission modes Experiment
13、ation and development of new modes of transmission in order to advance the state of the art. 2 Technical characteristics Amateur and amateur-satellite systems should have technical characteristics that provide worldwide interoperability, and allow origination, relay and termination of communications
14、 independent of other radio services. Design emphasis should be placed on reliability, robustness and flexibility of reconfiguration for efficient emergency communications. Multiple access techniques (FDMA, TDMA and CDMA) should be selected for optimum spectrum efficiency and frequency reuse. The se
15、lection of modulation techniques should take into account resistance to interference and immunity to adverse propagation conditions. 3 Operational characteristics Systems should be capable of operation in urban, residential and rural areas, and should be suitable for use in fixed and/or mobile appli
16、cations. Mobile systems should include personal pocket terminals and systems suitable for operation in vehicles. Small, inexpensive systems capable of being upgraded should be available for new users and those in developing countries. Satellite systems should be designed to serve both industrialized
17、 and developing countries. Systems should facilitate education of operators and technicians. 4 Frequency band considerations 4.1 Spectrum requirements Worldwide common frequency bands to facilitate international working, international roaming and commonality of equipment. 4.2 Spectrum utilization Fr
18、equency bands as associated with future amateur radio systems should be chosen for operations to carry out the desired communication with minimum power, maximum frequency reuse and sharing, minimum interference to other services, in accordance with the Radio Regulations, and spectrum efficiency. More consideration should be given to using bands above 5 GHz.
