1、 Rec. ITU-R F.1569 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R F.1569 Technical and operational characteristics for the fixed service using high altitude platform stations in the bands 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31-31.3 GHz (Question ITU-R 212/9) (2002) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that new technology uti

ITU-R F.1569 recommends 1 that HAPS using the bands 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31-31.3 GHz be operated between the altitude of 20 to 25 km; 2 that the frequency reuse factor of the cell illuminated by t

ANNEX 1 Typical technical parameters for the FS using HAPS in the bands 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31-31.3 GHz 1 Introduction This Annex provides typical technical characteris

14、tics for the FS using HAPS in the frequency range of 18-32 GHz focusing on the bands 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31-31.3 GHz, which may be used in the relevant studies. Rec. ITU-R F.1569 3 2 Outline of a typical HAPS-based system A typical HAPS system in the frequency range 18-32 GHz may have the following f

15、eatures: a HAPS is mounted on an airship controlled to be located at a nominal fixed point at the altitude of 20 to 25 km; the airship is supplied with electric power necessary for the system maintenance and the operation of communication mission from solar batteries being put on the upper surface o

16、f the airship and second batteries being charged for night-time use; the airship is equipped with a multi-spot beam antenna under its bottom providing access links to the ground stations with a certain minimum elevation angle; each beam formed by the multi-spot beam antenna corresponds to a cell on

17、the ground with at least four times frequency reuse; the gas envelope of the airship is made of the skin material with metal layer such as that of aluminium, which is expected to block electromagnetic waves in the frequency around 18-32 GHz or higher; multiple airships are deployed to cover a wide r

18、ange of area on the ground and the stations on board them are connected by wireless links such as optical wave links to build an all-wireless mesh-like network. Figure 1 illustrates an image of communication system using HAPS. Two examples for minimum elevation angle, 20 and 40, are shown in the Fig

ITU-R F.1569 3 Altitude of HAPS The altitude of HAPS is defined in RR No. 1.66A as 20-50 km. The line-of-sight coverage from a HAPS

20、becomes large at higher altitude. The atmospheric density, however, decreases significantly at higher altitude. Table 1 shows the atmospheric density and pressure at various altitudes. The atmospheric density at the altitude of 50 km is much lower than that at the altitude of 20 km by about 1/90. Th

21、is means the airship at the altitude of 50 km needs Helium gas as 90 times as that at the altitude of 20 km and needs the body length as 4.5 times. Assuming that a 200 m long airship is needed at the altitude of 20 km to carry a certain weight a 900 m long airship is needed at the altitude of 50 km

22、to carry the same weight. It is absolutely impossible to build such a huge airship with the current and near-future technology. TABLE 1 The atmospheric density and pressure in the stratosphere Figure 2 shows an average wind profile in the upper atmosphere. The wind speed has a local minimum around t

23、he altitude of 20-25 km. It becomes larger at the altitude higher than 25 km and is four times larger at the altitude of 50 km than at that of 20 km. To keep the position of the airship at a nominal fixed point against the wind, much larger propulsion power is necessary, which also requires heavier

24、batteries for night operation. On this point of view, the operation of an airship at an altitude less than 25 km is reasonable reflecting the current technology. Taking into account the above considerations, it can be concluded that the altitude of HAPS is less than about 25 km from a technical view

25、point. 4 Minimum operational elevation angle The minimum operational elevation angle determines the area of service coverage by a single HAPS. If the smaller minimum elevation angle is assumed, the larger the service coverage can be obtained. The rain path, however, becomes longer and the required e

26、.i.r.p. increases because the larger rain margin is needed.

ITU-R F.1569 5 The typical value of the minimum operational elevation angle for a HAPS syste

27、m using 28/31 GHz band may be more than 20. An operation with a smaller elevation angle needs higher e.i.r.p. in uplinks and downlinks because of a longer propagation path and larger rain attenuation. It could cause a difficult sharing situation between HAPS system and other systems such as satellit

28、e systems, fixed service, space science services and so on. Moreover, shadowing by buildings or mountains will degrade site availability for lower elevation angle in the urban or mountain areas. Elevation angles smaller than 20 could be introduced under the conditions that: e.i.r.p.s in uplinks and

29、downlinks with the elevation angle more than 20 are kept to constant values and these can be increased only for links with smaller elevation angle; appropriate minimum operation angle is determined in accordance with sharing requirement with other services at each area; and ATPC is appropriately use

30、d in uplinks and downlinks. A larger minimum elevation angle, for instance 40, is also possible in order to reduce interference to/from other services and to increase the site availability against shadowing by buildings or mountains. The larger the minimum elevation angle is, the more the number of

31、HAPS will be needed to cover a certain area on the ground, while the total number of the spot beams for all the HAPS is unchanged. 5 On-board multibeam antenna A multi-spot beam antenna (multibeam antenna) is preferable for the purpose to cover many subscriber ground stations by a single HAPS with a

32、 high frequency reuse efficiency. Figure 3 shows a typical footprint given by a multibeam antenna when the minimum elevation angle is 20. The number of the spot beams is 367. All of the footprint sizes of the single beam are equal (up to 6 km in diameter) in this case. This can be achieved by assign

33、ing the different antenna gain to each spot beam according to its elevation angle (see Table 2) and using elliptical beam patterns. This multibeam design is expected to give smaller interference into/from other services with the path in low elevation angles because the beams near the edge of the ser

34、vice coverage in small elevation angle have higher gain, narrower beamwidth, and smaller side-lobe level than the beams near the centre of the service coverage do. In the design of link budget, the gain at the edge of the spot beam is assumed to be 3 dB. Figure 4 shows an example of the elliptical b

35、eam pattern for the spot beam (the elevation angles are 20 and 90). The pattern for the spot beam with the elevation angle of 90 is given by Recommendation ITU-R F.1245 and is a circular beam. The elliptic patterns for the spot beams with the elevation angel less than 90 are modified from the 6 Rec.

36、 ITU-R F.1569 pattern given by Recommendation ITU-R F.1245. They consist of two Recommen-dation ITU-R F.1245 patterns for the major and minor axes of the elliptic pattern. For sharing studies that use the side-lobe level of this elliptic pattern, it is preferable for safety to use the side lobe of t

37、he major axis even for that of the minor axis (solid curve in Fig. 4). The Recommendation ITU-R F.1245 pattern may also be used for the antenna of HAPS ground station without modification. 1569-02020406080120100806040200FIGURE 2Average wind profile in the upper atmosphereTemperature regionsThermosph

43、diation from the on-board antenna installed at the base of the airship, because the body size of the airship will be considerably large compared with the wavelength of the signal. In order to obtain the attenuation by the shielding effect, a simple two-dimensional scattering problem shown in Fig. 5

44、is considered.

It is noted that the antenna gain at = 90 should be used in the calculation of backward radiation power from the antenna at the base of the airship, because the wave transmitted in the direction of = 90 propagates along the round
