10、s. It concerns with non-ICAO ARNS systems operating in countries referred to in RR No. 5.312 and TACAN systems. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that the tactical air navigation system (TACAN) is an aeronautical radionavigation system used on a national basis and operates in the f

11、requency band 960-1 215 MHz; b) that the TACAN system is used by both civil and state aircraft; c) that when used by civil aviation, TACAN functionally is equivalent to the ICAO standardized distance measuring equipment (DME); d) that the TACAN system provides additional functionality to that of DME

12、, i.e. obtaining bearing information; e) that this additional functionality results in technical characteristics that differ from those of DME and may require additional consideration in future compatibility studies, f) that the use of TACAN also includes shipborne and air-to-air applications, notin

13、g a) that according to Resolution 417 (WRC-07) precedence must be given to the ARNS operating in the frequency band 960-1 164 MHz; b) that ITU-R studies have shown that following the introduction of aeronautical mobile (route) service (AM(R)S) in the frequency band 960-1 164 MHz, more detailed site-

14、specific compatibility studies between TACAN and AM(R)S systems need to be performed, recommends that for compatibility studies the characteristics and protection criteria in the annexes should be used. 2 Rec. ITU-R M.2013 Annex 1 Tactical air navigation system TACAN is an aeronautical radionavigati

15、on system used on a national basis operating between 960 and 1 215 MHz. A TACAN system consists of an interrogator on-board an aircraft and a beacon which gives the replies. In most cases the TACAN beacons are fixed ground based installations but there are maritime mobile and aeronautical mobile bea

16、cons in use as well. Depending on the generated e.i.r.p. and design of the interrogator slant ranges up to 400 nm (740 km) can be achieved but in practice the range is limited to the maximum radio line-of-sight (RLOS). The aircraft unit transmits regular pulse pairs, so-called interrogation pulses w

17、hich are received by ground based installations (beacons). The TACAN pulses have a pulse width of 3.5 s at the 50% amplitude points. The spacing between the pulses of an interrogation pulse pair is 12 s (X channel) or 36 s (Y channel). After receiving an interrogator pulse pair a ground station will

18、 test the pulse shape and spacing. If these fall within the acceptance limits, it will respond by transmitting a reply after a fixed delay with a 63 MHz frequency offset from the interrogation frequency depending on selected channel on pulse code. The beacon has a spacing between the reply pulses of

19、 12 s (X channel) and 30 s (Y channel). After receipt of the reply, the interrogator will calculate the momentary slant range distance to the beacon from the time elapsed between transmitting interrogation and receiving reply pulse pairs. The beacon will receive interrogations from many aircraft and

20、 therefore will send out many replies. Each interrogator creates a unique pattern by varying, within certain limits, the time between the pulse pairs to avoid generation of synchronic replies. By this principle each platform is able to recognize among all pulse pairs the replies that are initiated b

21、y its own interrogator. For identification purposes, a TACAN beacon transmits a Morse ID code. The ID tone is used at the airborne interrogators to verify if the range readouts are provided by the correct beacon. Besides the pulse responses, proper reception of the ID tone is also an important condi

22、tion for TACAN interrogators to properly function. In addition to the range measurements TACAN also offers azimuth bearing information. The bearing information is provided by applying a modulation in the amplitude of the pulses transmitted by the ground beacon. This pulse amplitude modulation (PAM)

23、is created using either a mechanically or electronically scanning beacon antenna. The variation in the azimuth pattern in the form of 15 Hz and 135 Hz antenna lobes at the maximum allowable modulation index of 55% will reduce the signal level of the reply pulses by up to 10.7 dB below the maximum e.

24、i.r.p. level of pulses without PAM. In order for the interrogator to decode the orientation of the antenna pattern in reference to north from the PAM, an additional 900 pulse pairs, consisting of a north-reference-pulse-group (NRPG) and additional fine reference pulse groups (RPG) are transmitted by

25、 the beacon. In order to obtain accurate bearing information and be able to reply to at least 100 aircraft with 70% reply efficiency a constant number of at least 3 600 pulse pairs have to be transmitted. The TACAN system is used for aeronautical navigation for both state aircraft as well as civil a

26、viation. When used by civil aviation, the TACAN equipment is functionally equivalent to the ICAO standardized DME. TACAN characteristics are given in Table 1. Rec.

In case of pulsed signals it is required to carry out additional studies. In this respect signals with a pulse length of more than 50 s are

35、 considered non-pulsed or continuous signals. NOTE The airborne antenna gain is taken from Recommendation ITU-R M.1642-1. NOTE Measurements on some TACAN devices showed that the TACAN sensitivity for the distance and angular measurements only differ by 3 dB for the TACAN interrogator receiver (90 dB

36、m for distance and 87 dBm for angular measurement). Rec. ITU-R M.2013 5 There is a large installed base of TACAN equipment, both ground stations (beacons) as well as aircraft stations (interrogators), in various administrations. The actual technical characteristics of the various types of equipment

37、vary. One important factor, that determines the interference effect, is the receiver selectivity curve. Figure 1 shows the receiver selectivity curves of five types of TACAN interrogator equipment. It can be seen that there is a great spread in the selectivity of the different TACAN type receivers.

38、In the compatibility studies all TACAN type interrogators should be taken into account in order to guarantee sufficient protection of this aeronautical radionavigation service (ARNS) application including both range and azimuth determination functionality. Figure 2 shows a receiver selectivity curve

39、 for a typical TACAN beacon. The TACAN beacon selectivity is worse than those of the TACAN interrogator receivers.

42、ntries referred to in RR No. 5.312 of the Radio Regulations operate the aeronautical radionavigation systems of the following three types: Type 1: the ARNS systems of the first type refer to direction-finding and ranging systems. The systems are designed for finding an azimuth and a slant range of a

43、n aircraft as well as for area surveillance and inter-aircraft navigation. They are composed of airborne and ground-based stations. The airborne stations generate requesting signals transmitted via omnidirectional antennae and received at ARNS ground stations which also operate in an omnidirectional

44、 mode. The ground stations generate and transmit response signals containing azimuth/ranging information. Those signals are received and decoded at the ARNS airborne stations. The first type stations transmit the signals requesting the azimuth/ranging data outside the 960-1 164 MHz frequency band. A

45、fter receiving a requesting signal the ARNS ground stations use the 960-1 164 MHz frequency band only for transmitting the ranging data to be received at the ARNS airborne stations. Thus the ARNS systems of the first type use the 960-1 164 MHz frequency band only for transmitting the signals in the

46、surface-to-air direction. The maximum operation range for Rec. ITU-R M.2013 7 the first type ARNS systems is 400 km. It is expected that in some of the countries mentioned in RR No. 5.312 the usage of Type 1 of ARNS mentioned above may be discontinued. Type 2: the ARNS direction-finding and ranging

47、systems of the second type are designed for the same missions as the first type ARNS systems. The primary difference of the second type stations refers to the fact that requesting signals are transmitted by the airborne stations in the same frequency band as responding signals transmitted from the g

48、round stations. Moreover, the ground-based ARNS stations of the second type can operate in both directional and omnidirectional modes. Directional mode provides increased number of operational channels at the ARNS stations. The maximum operation range for the first type ARNS systems is 400 km. It is

49、 planned to use the overall frequency band 960-1 164 MHz allocated to the ARNS in order to increase flexibility of operation of the second type ARNS systems. Application of the wideband tuning filter on the ARNS receiver front end is the design peculiarity of the second type ARNS systems which is stipulated by the necessity to receive signals on several channels simultaneously. The 3 dB bandwidth of this filter is 22 MHz and it allows receiving simultaneously up to five channels among 30 overlapping channels of 4.3 MHz each. The
