17、mmendation. Annex 1 Interference to fixed wireless systems caused by terrain scattering 1 Introduction Terrain scattering has been found to be a particularly strong mechanism for coupling interference between radio-relay systems in cases where two paths cross each other and the terrain at the inters

18、ection is visible from both the transmitting antenna of one hop and the receiving antenna of the other. In this case, the main lobes of the two antennas couple through a common area of terrain and the interference is like ground clutter received in a bi-static radar system. In the past, interference

19、 between fixed wireless systems was determined by calculations based on the mechanism of near great-circle propagation which includes LoS paths, the effects of atmospheric refraction, diffraction by the surface of the Earth and tropospheric forward scatter. Such great-circle techniques combined with

20、 antenna side-lobe coupling have also been used for many years by some administrations to determine intra- and inter-system interferences in terrestrial fixed wireless systems. Field measurements in recent years have indicated that great-circle propagation is often a minor contributor compared to te

21、rrain scattering. In contrast to the case of inter-system interference, the discrepancies between great-circle predictions and measurements become smaller for intra-system interference, where the major cases have usually been between two adjacent hops on the same route. In the case of interference b

22、etween an earth station and a terrestrial station, coupling may also occur through the main beam of the terrestrial antenna, the area around the earth station, and the side lobes of the earth station antenna. Depending on geometric circumstances, either ground scattering or great-circle coupling may

23、 be the predominant interference mechanism. 2 Mathematical model of terrain scatter The interference power, Pr, received through the mechanism of ground scatter from a transmitting antenna radiating power, Pt, may be determined from the bi-static radar equation: ()2trrt e322trGGP=P dA4RR, (1) where

24、t and r denote transmitter and receiver respectively, G(,) is the respective antenna power gains in the direction of the scatterers in the elemental scattering area d Ae, represents the azimuth and the elevation from the centerline of the antenna (see Fig. 1), Rtand Rrare the respective slant distan

25、ces from the antennas to the scattering element, is the wave length, and is the modified scattering coefficient describing the incoherent energy scattered by the elemental area. The elemental area d Aeis defined to be the minimum of the areas of the scatterer normal to the slant vectors from the tra

26、nsmitter and the receiver. Rec. ITU-R F.1096-1 3 Equation (1) assumes that the scattered fields from different areas or objects are incoherent, and the region contains all elemental regions that contribute to the received scattered energy. In evaluating the integral for a portion of the surface of t

27、he Earth, it is necessary to account for the shadowing of individual elemental areas. Only unshadowed areas, which are visible to both the transmitting and receiving antennas, will contribute. Comparison of measured and calculated interference values has shown that the modified scattering coefficien

28、t can be assumed to be constant over fairly large areas of terrain. Characteristic values of , which were determined by one administration for several different land covers, are given in Table 1.

Interference measurements made at a f

31、ixed frequency typically show time fluctuations around the mean value computed by equation (2). This is due to the movement of scattering objects like trees and vegetation or to temporal variations in atmospheric conditions, which may induce amplitude and phase variations between scatter returns fro

32、m different scattering areas. Similarly, fluctuations about the same mean value are observed when the carrier frequency in the experiment is changed. Fortunately, for the important case of interference between digital radio systems, only the mean value given by equation (2) is of importance. On the

33、other hand, if the strong carrier of a low-index FM signal is the source of interference then fluctuations of this carrier above the mean (up fades) have to be taken into account. 2.1 Application of the model Practical considerations of computer resources impose a limit on the physical size of the p

34、ortion of the region over which the integral will be evaluated. One approach is to take the region of integration as a quadrilateral region on the surface of the Earth defined by the intersection of an azimuthal sector centered on the transmit interfering antenna with an azimuthal sector centered on

35、 the receiving interfered antenna. Figure 2 shows such a region for the case where the path from station 1 to station 4 intersects with that from station 3 to station 2, resulting in terrain scatter interference from station 1 into station 2. The sectors would be centered on the main beam azimuth of

36、 the respective antennas and could include the azimuths where the directive gain in the azimuthal direction is no more than, say, 30 dB below the maximum gain. Evaluation of the interference integral over such a region is described in 3.1. Bounding techniques offer a less arbitrary, more accurate, a

37、nd more efficient means of evaluating the scatter interference power. Since most of the received energy, which has been scattered by the terrain, is usually contributed by scattering from the regions close to the intersection of the main beams of the interfering and interfered antennas, an accurate

38、integration is only required in the vicinity of this intersection. The contribution from the remainder of can be determined from an upper bound. The application of bounding techniques is described in 3.2. An elemental terrain area can have a non-zero contribution to the interference integral only if

39、 it is not shadowed. That is, it must be visible to both the transmitting and receiving antennas. In evaluating the shadowing of an elemental area it is necessary to consider both macro- and micro-shadowing. In macro-shadowing, an element is not visible because of obstruction by higher terrain that

40、is closer to one of the antennas; in micro-shadowing, the element presents no effective area, Ae,ito one of the antennas because of its orientation. The conditions necessary to determine whether an elemental region is macro- or micro-shadowed are described in 4.1 and 4.2, respectively. Rec. ITU-R F.

These data take the form of elevations for a set of points defined on geodetic coordinates of latitude and longitude.

42、 While high resolution map data based on 3 arc-second intervals are available and can be used, adequate accuracy can be obtained using 15 arc-second data. In computations, the antenna patterns are often based on measurements that are stored in computer look-up tables, or they can be analytic express

43、ions of measured patterns. For simplicity, the readily available azimuth pattern may be rotated about the boresight axis. 3 Integration procedures 3.1 Direct evaluation The integration over a selected region S0can be evaluated as: () ()() ()i0tirir,o t i e,i22pStiriGpGpP=C ARpRp(4) 6 Rec.
