ITU-R BO.1835 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BO.1835 Sharing between broadcasting-satellite service (BSS) networks using the Region 2 17.3-17.8 GHz BSS allocation and feeder links of BSS networks using the worldwide 17.3-17.8 GHz fixed-satellite service (FSS) (Earth-to-space) allocation (2007) Scope T

The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that, in all three ITU Regions, the 17.3-17.8 GHz band is subject to the broadcasting-satellite service (BSS) feeder-link Plans of Appendix 30A of the Radio Regulations (RR); b) that the 17.3-17.8 GHz band is also allocated to BSS in Reg

10、ry few geometric scenarios that may not occur in practice; 2 Rec. ITU-R BO.1835 3 that the key parameters in determining the proximity with which Region 2 BSS satellites and BSS feeder-link receive satellites could be deployed are the off-axis gain discriminations of the transmitting and receiving s

11、atellite antennas, the peak transmitting satellite equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) levels, and the receiving satellite system noise temperature, recommends 1 that administrations in Region 2 should take into account the analyses and results contained in Annex 1 when designing and

12、deploying BSS networks in the 17.3-17.8 GHz band. Annex 1 Parametric analyses on sharing between BSS networks using the Region 2 17.3-17.8 GHz BSS allocation and feeder links of BSS networks using the worldwide 17.3-17.8 GHz FSS (Earth-to-space) allocation 1 Introduction The Region 2 allocation for

13、the broadcasting-satellite service (BSS) in the 17.3-17.8 GHz band came into effect on 1 April 2007. This BSS band is paired with the 24.75-25.25 GHz FSS (Earth-to-space) band for its feeder links. The 17.3-17.8 GHz band, in accordance with Appendix 30A of the RR, is also allocated in the Earth-to-s

14、pace direction for feeder links to the Appendix 30 12 GHz BSS networks in all three Regions. The term “reverse-band” typically refers to the situation where a frequency band is used for both Earth-to-space and space-to-Earth transmissions. The BSS networks operating under Appendices 30 and 30A are r

15、eferred to as “17/12 GHz” networks, while those operating in the 17 GHz Region 2 BSS allocation are referred to as “24/17 GHz” networks. This 17.3-17.8 GHz reverse-band operation creates the potential for the two interference paths illustrated schematically in Fig. 1: between the transmitting space

16、stations and the receiving space stations in the 17 GHz band (satellite-to-satellite), and between the transmitting feeder-link earth stations and the receiving earth stations in the 17 GHz band. This text addresses only the satellite-to-satellite case. The satellite-to-satellite interference path w

17、ill occur when the signals from the transmitting 24/17 GHz satellite impinge on the receiving antenna of the 17/12 GHz satellite in 17.3-17.8 GHz. The amount of interference is determined by the physical separation between the satellites, the e.i.r.p. level of the transmitting 24/17 GHz BSS satellit

18、e, the off-axis gains of the 17 GHz transmitting and receiving satellite antennas towards each other, and the noise temperature of the receiving satellite. The criterion for determining if coordination is required between a transmitting space station of a 24/17 GHz network and a receiving space stat

19、ion of a 17/12 GHz network is provided in 1 of Annex 4 of Appendix 30A of the RR, and is defined as a T/T of 6%. Rec. ITU-R BO.1835 3 There are two cases for this potential interference: Case 1: the adjacent-satellite case, where the 17/12 GHz and 24/17 GHz satellites are closely spaced along the or

20、bital arc, and Case 2: the equatorial-limb case, where the 17/12 GHz and 24/17 GHz satellites are separated by approximately 162.6 along the orbital arc, i.e. across the equatorial limb of the Earth. Analyses for these two cases are presented below in 2 and 3, respectively. FIGURE 1 Reverse-band ope

21、ration and interference paths for Region 2 BSS and feeder links 2 Adjacent-satellite case This section addresses closely-spaced satellites. A parametric analysis was conducted to determine the required orbital separation between a 24/17 GHz transmitting BSS space station and a 17/12 GHz receiving BS

22、S space station that are located very close to each other along the geostationary arc. The key operational parameters in determining the required separation in order to meet the T/T of 6% condition are the transmit e.i.r.p. of the 24/17 GHz satellite, the off-axis discriminations of the transmit and

23、 receive satellite antennas, and the receive satellite noise temperature of the 17/12 GHz satellite. The off-axis angle relative to boresight for both transmit and receive antennas is approximately 90 degrees. These large off-boresight angles lead to antenna off-axis gains that are substantially bel

24、ow the peak of the boresight gain. Examination of published diagrams for receive gain toward the GSO arc for Region 2 assignments and modifications shows typical values between 0 and 5 dBi. These diagrams envelope the actual receive antenna patterns. 4 Rec. ITU-R BO.1835 The 17/12 GHz assignments th

25、at may be affected are the current Region 2 Plan feeder-link assignments whose technical parameters are specified in Appendix 30A of the RR and its subsequent modifications. For the satellite receive antenna, the characteristics, e.g. noise temperature and off-axis satellite gain, of the original Re

26、gion 2 Plan are used in the analysis. The Region 2 Plan specifies a receive noise temperature of 1 500 K. Additionally, 3.7.3 of Annex 3 of Appendix 30A of the RR assumes that, for off-axis angles greater than approximately 20, the receive off-axis satellite antenna discrimination is equal in magnit

27、ude, but of opposite sign, to the peak gain of the antenna. Therefore, this analysis assumed an off-axis receive gain of 0 dBi towards the adjacent satellite, although in reality there is likely to be more discrimination. Given that the 24/17 GHz satellite transmit power could be relatively high due

28、 to the use of spot beams to cover small geographic areas, the parametric analysis considered peak e.i.r.p. values from 55 dBW to 65 dBW. In addition, for the 24/17 GHz transmit antenna, values of off-axis discrimination in the range 40 to 60 dB were assumed. Finally, three values of receive system

29、noise temperature were taken into account. The results are presented in the following three tables. TABLE 1 Varying interfering satellite peak e.i.r.p.

The peak e.i.r.p.s range from 55 to 65 dBW (Line 8). The corresponding required orbital separations are shown both in degrees (Line 10) and in km (Li

33、ne 11). Using the highest e.i.r.p. of 65 dBW, a reasonable off-axis discrimination of 50 dB, and a receive system noise temperature of 31.8 dBK (1 500 K), the required separation distance is 0.06. If a station-keeping tolerance of 0.1 is added for each satellite, the minimum orbital separation betwe

38、e of only 40 dB of transmit antenna discrimination, the required orbital separation is 0.19. Again, adding the maximum 0.1 station-keeping error for each satellite yields 0.39 separation between satellite centers.

42、e.i.r.p. was held constant at 65 dBW and the off-axis discrimination was held constant at 40 dB. The worst-case orbital separation is 0.30, or 0.50 with maximum station-keeping tolerances. These results show that only a very closely spaced 24/17 GHz satellite will likely cause an exceedance of the a

43、llowed T/T level of 6% toward receiving 17/12 GHz satellites. The design of 24/17 GHz satellite networks should strive to take the results of these analyses into account in order to avoid unnecessary coordinations with 17/12 GHz assignments and modifications in the Region 2 Plan. It is noted that ma

44、ny satellites in Region 2 operate with station keeping of 0.05, rather than 0.1. This would reduce all of the above total orbital separations by either 0.05 or 0.1 degree, depending on whether one or both satellites had the tighter station-keeping. 3 Equatorial-limb case The equatorial-limb case is

45、the case in which the interference path from a Region 2 transmitting 24/17 GHz satellite to a Region 1 or 3 receiving 17/12 GHz satellite grazes the limb of the Earth. Figure 2 depicts this configuration. The angle between the transmitting and receiving satellites is approximately 162.6, and the str

46、aight-line distance between the transmitting and receiving satellites for this case is 83 362 km or less. Figures 2 and 3 show the geometry for this case. FIGURE 2 Overlapping transmit and receive beams for equatorial-limb case Rec. ITU-R BO.1835 7 FIGURE 3 Equatorial limb geometry In the above Figs

48、tions of transmit/receive coverage areas and orbit locations that have the potential for interference. Limb-of-the-Earth interference is only possible when a Region 2 24/17 GHz transmitting satellite and a Region 1 or 3 17/12 receiving satellite serve countries close to the equator, and have appreci

49、able amounts of off-axis antenna gains in the equatorial plane. In Regions 1 and 3, there are only a comparatively few broadcasting-satellite service areas that are near the equator. These include those for Indonesia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, India and countries in Central Africa. 8 Rec. ITU-R BO.1835 In order to have any appreciable interference across the limb of the Earth from a Region 2 24/17 GHz transmitting satellite into a Region 1 or 3 17/12 GHz receiving satellite, all of the following conditi
