3、ent of prediction methods for specific application to maritime mobile-satellite systems is required to give adequate accuracy for all operational conditions; d) that, however, methods are available which yield sufficient accuracy for many applications, recommends 1 that the current methods set out i

4、n Annex 1 be adopted for use in the planning of Earth-space maritime mobile telecommunication systems, in addition to the methods recommended in Recommendation ITU-R P.618. ANNEX 1 1 Introduction Telecommunications over Earth-space links for maritime mobile-satellite systems lead to propagation prob

5、lems that are substantially different from those arising in the fixed-satellite service. For instance, the effects of reflections and scattering by the sea surface can be quite severe, in particular where antennas with wide beamwidths are used. Furthermore, maritime mobile-satellite systems may oper

6、ate on a world-wide basis, including paths with low elevation angles. This Annex deals with data and models specifically needed to characterize the sea-space path impairments which include: tropospheric effects, including rain attenuation, gaseous absorption, refraction, scintillation and anomalous

7、propagation occumng at low elevation angles; ionospheric effects such as scintillation and Faraday rotation; surface reflection effects (multipath due to secondary paths arising from the reflection of radio waves from the sea surface); local environment effects (ship motion and sea conditions); inte

8、rference effects due to differential fading between a desired signal and an interference signal, both affected by multipath fading. STD-ITU-R RECMN P.bBO-3-ENGL 1999 m 4855212 0537L9b 894 m 210 Rec. ITU-R P.680-3 2 Tropospheric effects 2.1 Attenuation Signal losses in the troposphere are caused by a

9、tmospheric gases, rain, fog and clouds. Except at low elevation angles, tropospheric attenuation is negligible at frequencies below about 1 GHz, and is generally small at frequencies up to about 10 GHz. Above 10 GHz, the attenuation can be large for significant percentages of the time on many paths.

10、 Prediction methods are available for estimating gaseous absorption (see Recommendation ITU-R P.676) and rain attenuation (see Recommendation ITU-R P.618). Fog and cloud attenuation is usually negligible for frequencies up to 10 GHz. 2.2 Scintillation Irregular variations in received signal level an

11、d in angle of arrival are caused by both tropospheric turbulence and atmospheric multipath. The magnitudes of these effects increase with increasing frequency and decreasing path elevation angle, except that angle of arrival fluctuations caused by turbulence are independent of frequency. Antenna bea

12、mwidth also affects the magnitude of these scintillations. These effects are observed to be at a maximum in the summer season. A prediction method is given in Recommendation ITU-R P.618. 3 Ionospheric effects Ionospheric effects (see Recommendation ITU-R PS3 1) may be important, particularly at freq

13、uencies below 1 GHz. For convenience these have been quantified for frequencies of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3 and 10 GHz in Table 1 for a high value of total electron content (TEC). 3.1 Ionospheric scintillation Inhomogeneities of electron density in the ionosphere cause refractive focusing or defocusing

14、of radio waves and lead to amplitude fluctuations termed scintillations. Ionospheric scintillation is maximum near the geomagnetic equator and smallest in the mid-latitude regions. The auroral zones are also regions of large scintillation. Strong scintillation is Rayleigh distributed in amplitude; w

15、eaker scintillation is nearly log-normal. These fluctuations decrease with increasing frequency and depend upon path geometry, location, season, solar activity and local time. Table 2 tabulates fade depth data for VHF and UHF in mid-latitudes, based on data in Recommendation ITU-R P.531. Accompanyin

16、g the amplitude fluctuation is also a phase fluctuation. The spectral density of the phase fluctuation is proportional to l/f3, where f is the Fourier frequency of the fluctuation. This spectral characteristic is similar to that arising from flicker of frequency in oscillators and can cause signific

17、ant degradation to the performance of receiver hardware. 3.2 Faraday rotation A linearly polarized wave propagating through the ionosphere undergoes a progressive rotation of the plane of polarization. Effects are summarized in Table 1. The axial ratio of an incident elliptically polarized wave may

18、be increased or decreased upon reflection (particularly at small angles) since Faraday rotation varies the orientation of the principal polarization axis of the incident wave. This results from the difference in reflection coefficient to be expected between vertical and horizontal components in most

19、 multipath situations. The effects of Faraday rotation on wideband signals can be of significance to system performance. The differential rotation effects cannot be fully corrected at VHF by reorientation of the antenna axis of a linearly polarized antenna. On circularly polarized antennas, the effe

20、ct is to introduce differential phase shifts of signal components across the band. Thus, signal components separated in frequency may be expected to be subject to frequency and phase selective distortion. i 3 “ 0000 “c? 211 4 Fading due to sea reflection 4.1 Fading depth The following simple method

ITU-R P.680-3 217 5 Interference from adjacent satellite systems 5.1 General In mobile-satellite communication systems, amplitudes of the desired signal from the satell

36、ite and an interfering signal from an adjacent satellite experience independent level fluctuations due to multipath fading, requiring a different treatment from that of fixed-satellite systems. A main point to be considered is the statistics of differential fading, which is the difference between am

37、plitudes of the direct wave and interference wave, both affected by multipath fading. FIGURE 5 Fade duration and fade Occurrence interval Signal level Rp: signal level for a given percentage of the time A practical prediction method for the statistics of signal-to-interference ratio where the effect

38、 of thermal noise and time- variant interference is taken into account is provided below. 5.2 Prediction method In general there are two kinds of interference between adjacent satellite systems. One is “down-link interference” on the mobile earth station side, and the other is “up-link interference”

39、 on the satellite side. Another situation is interference between beams in multi-spot-beam operation, where the same frequency is allocated repeatedly. The method is applicable to such cases. Input parameters (in units of power, not dB) are: D : power of the direct wave component of desired signal M

40、 : average power of the reflected component (i.e. incoherent component) of desired signal N: average power of system noise ZD : power of the direct wave component of interference signal ZM : average power of reflected component of interference signal (I: average power of interference: Z = ID + ZM) O

41、utput parameters (in units of power, not dB) are: c/nI(p) : ratio of desired signal power to system noise power as a function of time percentage p c/i(p) : ratio of desired signal power to interfering signal power c/ (i + n) (P) : ratio of desired signal power to system noise plus interfering signal

42、 power. Carrier-to-noise ratio as a function of p is given by: where qc is the normalized time-percentage-dependent factor of desired signal power having a probability density function of a Nakagami-Rice distribution with constant direct power given in Fig. 3, in which: 20 log Tc = A + 1Olog (D + M)
