The total power is used to transmit two signals, one spread with a 1.023 Mchip/s code and the other spread with a 10.23 Mchip/s code. While the 10.23

However, the impact of a frequency shift is studied. 3 Interference of RNSS uplink s

34、ted in Table 3 are representative systems of airborne radars that are operational or planned for the 1 300-1 350 MHz band. 2.1.1 System A System A is an airborne, non-coherent, side-looking radar used for ocean surveillance. The radar will be carried on aircraft with an operation altitude of 15 500

35、to 25 500 ft (approximately 4.7-7.7 km) in over-water operations at ranges of 50 to 500 nm (approximately 92.6-926 km) from shore. 2.1.2 System B System B is a multichannel airborne radar measurement system with operations at altitudes not to exceed 10 000 ft (approximately 3 km). 2.1.3 System C Sys

36、tem C is an airborne radar that has two operator-electable, frequency-diverse pairs. The diverse frequencies have 15 MHz separation. In one mode, all four frequencies are used to eliminate second-time-around echoes. The radar is carried on a tethered balloon which is moored at an altitude of 10 000

37、to 15 000 ft (approximately 3-4.5 km). 2.1.4 System D System D is an airborne radar that is normally operated above 30 000 ft (approximately 9.1 km) (typically 30 000-40 000 ft, i.e. approximately 9.1-12.2 km).

The second antenna has a beamwidth off boresight shape of 36 14 of azimuth with an elevation of 14 27 elevation off boresight. (3)The array is an active aperture capable of scanning 60 in the azimuth plane. Since the array, whe

The main beam can be pointed in any sector of a 120 region ( 60 from array boresight) in front of the array. 14 Rec. ITU-R M.1584 3 Interference of RNSS uplink

44、 stations into airborne radars Considering the airborne radar characteristics given in 2 of this Annex, we can derive the required loss (dB) in order to protect these airborne radars from RNSS uplink stations beacons. These required loss values have been obtained with equation (1) in 3.1 of Annex 1

45、and they are given in Appendix 1 to Annex 2. 3.1 Results Taking into account the maximum height (supposed to be amsl) of each kind of airborne radar, we have computed the required distance between the border of the area where the airborne radars are in operation, and the uplink RNSS stations using t

46、he free space loss propagation model (which is the worst case). For all the calculations we have assumed that the height (amsl) of the transmitting RNSS earth station is 1 000 m. TABLE 4 Free space separation distances (including choke ring on RNSS antenna) for airborne radar versus RNSS uplink stat

47、ion (zero frequency offset) If the choke ring attenuation of 50 dB is included in the computation, then the minimum separation required is 47 km (System A, 10.23 Mchip/s). The maximum required separation distance is 351 km (System D, addition of powers from both codes). If the choke ring attenuation

48、 is not included in the computation, then the minimum separation required is determined by the radio horizon of the airborne radar. 3.2 Conclusions From these examples, the methodology described herein, assuming an uplink gain of 1 dBi at elevation angles below 10 and the use of a choke ring providi

49、ng an additional attenuation of 50 dB, results in a separation protection distance of 349 km for the airborne radar (Radar D) having the worst-case parameters. For different parameters (radar receiving parameters, RNSS earth station transmitting parameters, absence of choke ring, etc.) other distances will be obtained. If the choke ring were not used in the example, the distances would become prohibitive for airborne radars. In additio
