20、OTE 1 It is essential that every effort be made to utilize the actual antenna pattern in coordination studies and interference assessment. NOTE 2 It should be noted that the radiation pattern of an actual antenna may be worse than the reference radiation pattern over a certain range of angles (see N

21、ote 3). Therefore, the reference radiation pattern in this Recommendation should not be interpreted as establishing the maximum limit for radiation patterns of existing or planned FWS antennas. Noting that for certification purpose, administrations may adopt standards, usually based on statistical m

22、easurements of real antennas, that may represent different values for the side-lobe radiation pattern levels. NOTE 3 The reference radiation pattern should be used with caution over the range of angles for which the particular feed system may give rise to relatively high levels of spill-over. NOTE 4

23、 The reference pattern in 2 is only applicable for one polarization (horizontal or vertical). Reference patterns for two polarizations (horizontal and vertical) are under study. NOTE 5 The reference radiation pattern included in this Recommendation is only for antennas which are rotationally symmetr

24、ical. The reference radiation pattern for antennas with asymmetrical apertures and for non-aperture FWS antennas in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 1 GHz requires further study. For such antennas, the above reference patterns may be considered to be provisionally valid. In this case, the D/ valu

ITU-R F.699-7 5 NOTE 8 Further study is required to ensure that reference radiation patterns continue to develop to take account of advances in antenna design. NOTE 9 While generally applicable, the reference patter

27、n in recommends 2 does not suitably model some practical fixed service antennas and it should be treated with caution over a range of angles from 5 to 70 (see also Notes 2 and 3). Annex 1 Reference radiation patterns for FWS antennas 1 Introduction For the study of frequency sharing between FWS and

28、the FSS or of the possibility of frequency reuse in a FWS network, it is often necessary to use a reference diagram, because the actual radiation pattern of the antennas is not always accurately known or gives too many details. The reference pattern should therefore represent the side-lobe envelope

29、in a simplified fashion. The reference radiation pattern to be selected may, however, vary according to the use for which it is intended. In general, the reference radiation patterns in the main text of this Recommendation shall be used. 2 Uses of reference radiation patterns The two main uses of re

30、ference radiation patterns are the following: 2.1 Preliminary studies within the coordination area In the determination of the coordination area around an earth station, FWS station antennas are assumed to point directly at the earth station. However, in most cases there will be some angular discrim

31、ination. The use of a simple reference radiation diagram makes it possible to eliminate from further consideration FWS stations situated in the coordination area but not likely to produce interference. This diagram, must, of necessity, be conservative to prevent the elimination of critical contribut

32、ing sources of interference. The precise calculation of the interference level of course, requires more accurate information on the antenna diagram. 2.2 Frequency reuse in a fixed wireless network In a fixed wireless network, the same frequency may be used many times, either on sections sufficiently

33、 distant from each other or on sections starting from the same station and lying in different directions, or on the same section using cross-polarization. In the last two cases, the performance of the antenna is of great importance and a fairly precise reference radiation pattern must be used for th

34、e network project; this pattern may be less simple than that considered in 2.1, recognizing that economic efficiencies need to be taken into account, administrations may wish to encourage the use of high performance antenna types in high spectrum use areas. 6 Rec. ITU-R F.699-7 3 Results of measurem

35、ents on the antennas of fixed wireless links Measurements with numerous antennas provide adequate confirmation of the reference radiation patterns in the main text of this Recommendation at least up to a value of D/ of approximately 130. However, the following points must be borne in mind: 3.1 Some

36、antennas of relatively old designs have less satisfactory performance characteristics than more recent models. The existence of such medium performance antennas should be taken into account for frequency sharing. 3.2 The above computation is based on the assumption that the antennas operate in free-

37、space conditions. The performance characteristics of antennas installed in the field may, however, be slightly less satisfactory owing to reflection from neighbouring obstacles or from other antennas installed on the same mast. 4 Radiation patterns of high performance antennas High performance anten

38、nas contribute greatly to the increase of nodal capacity in FWS. For the horn-reflector antennas, which were developed to comply with the requirements of terrestrial FWS in dense networks, the reference diagram above may be regarded as valid only in the horizontal plane. For planes away from the hor

39、izontal significant sensitivity variations are displayed. Figure 1 gives an example for the radiation diagram of a specific but widely-used pyramidal horn reflector antenna. Radiation envelope contours are plotted (in dB below the main beam) in a coordinate system using angles and (the centre of the

40、 spherical coordinate system being the centre of the antenna aperture). The strong departure from the rotational symmetry assumed in the reference radiation patterns in recommends 2 of this Recommendation is due to: the spill-over lobe around = + 90 and 60 80, the weather cover lobe around = 90 and

41、50 90. The spill-over lobe is a consequence of wave diffraction at the upper lip of the aperture caused by direct rays emanating from the pyramidal horn section. This effect is pronounced only for vertical polarization. The weather cover lobe is due to reflection of energy by the tilted plastic weat

42、her cover back onto the parabolic surface which then re-directs most of the energy downward over the lower lip of the aperture. This phenomenon is polarization and frequency insensitive. An offset-reflector type antenna shows sharp directivity especially in the horizontal plane. Figure 2 illustrates

43、 examples of the radiation patterns of the offset-reflector antenna together with an example of the pyramidal horn-reflector antenna read from Fig. 1. Rec. ITU-R F.699-7 7 8 Rec. ITU-R F.699-7 For horn reflector antennas and for offset antennas with a very low illumination on the edge of the reflect

44、or, the following formula may be provisionally used as a reference radiation pattern in the horizontal plane: = log40log3088DG (1) This formula is valid outside the main lobe for up to about 90. However, when the illumination on the edge of the reflector is not very low, the level of side-lobes in c

45、ertain directions may be higher than that given by equation (1). Rec. ITU-R F.699-7 9 Appendix 1 to Annex 1 Measured patterns for use in the further development of this Recommendation 1 Introduction There is a continuing need to review and update the reference radiation patterns contained in this Re

46、commendation. As the frequency bands being used for FWS extend beyond 70 GHz, there is a need to widen the scope of these reference radiation patterns above 70 GHz. To assist with the above, this Appendix contains comparisons of some practical antenna pattern envelopes and radiation patterns with th

47、e corresponding reference patterns derived from this Recommendation and Recommendation ITU-R F.1245. 10 Rec.
