Introduction This propagation prediction method for use in the estimat

9、ion of reliability and compatibility between frequencies of about 3 MHz and 30 MHz derives from a method first proposed in 1983 by CCIR Interim Working Party 6/12 with later refinements following considerations by the WARC for HF broadcasting, the CCIR, ITU-R, broadcasting and other organizations. T

10、he procedure applies a ray-path analysis for path lengths up to 7000 km, composite mode empirical formulations from the fit to measured data beyond 9 O00 km and a smooth transition between these two approaches over the 7 000-9 O00 km distance range. Monthly median basic MUF, incident sky-wave field

11、strength and available receiver power from a lossless receiving antenna of given gain are determined. Signal strengths are standardized against an ITU-R measurement data bank. The method requires the determination of a number of ionospheric characteristics and propagation parameters at specified “co

12、ntrol points”. A computer program in both mainframe and microcomputer versions has been developed for this prediction method. Information on the availability of the program is found in Resolution ITU-R 63. 2. Location of control points Propagation is assumed to be along the great-circle path between

13、 the transmitter and receiver locations via E modes (up to 4000 km range) and F2 modes (for all distances). Depending on path length and reflecting layer, control points are selected as indicated in Table 1. 3. Basic and operational maximum usable frequencies The estimation of operational MUF, the h

14、ighest frequency that would permit acceptable operation of a radio service, is in two stages: first, the estimation of basic MUF from a consideration of ionospheric parameters and second, the determination of a correction factor to allow for propagation mechanisms at frequencies above the basic MUF.

Monthly median signal-to-noise ratio Recommendation ITU-R PI.372 provides values of median atmospheric noise power for reception on a short vertical lossless monopole antenna above perfect ground and also gives corresponding man-made noise and cosmic noise intensities. Let the resultant e

39、xternal noise factor be Fa (dB(kTb) at frequencyf(MH2) where reception is on such an ideal short lossless vertical monopole over a perfectly conducting ground plane with k the Boltzmann constant and T a reference temperature of 288 K. Then, in general, when using some other practical reception anten

40、na the resultant noise factor may differ from this value of Fa (see Recommendation IT-R PI.372). However, in the absence of complete noise measurement data for different antennas, as a first approximation, it is appropriate to assume that the same Fa applies. Hence the monthly median signai-to-noise

41、 ratio SIN (dB) achieved within a bandwidth b (Hz) is: ITU-R RECMN PI.533-4 94 m 4855232 0522984 975 COPYRIGHT International Telecommunications Union/ITU RadiocommunicationsLicensed by Information Handling Services206 Rec. ITU-R PI.533-4 8. Signal-to-noise ratios for other percentages of time Use is

42、 made of equations (1 1) and (12) of Report ITU-R PI.266 to determine the signal-to-noise ratio for a specified percentage of time in terms of the within-an-hour and day-to-day decile deviations of the signais and the noise. Signal fading allowances are those adopted by the Second Session of the Wor

43、ld Administrative Radio Conference for the Planning of HF Bands Allocated to the Broadcasting Service (Geneva, 1987) (WARC HFBC-87) with a short-term upper decile deviation of 5 dB and a lower decile deviation of 8 dB. For long-term signal fading the decile deviations are taken as a function of the

44、ratio of operating frequency to the path basic MUF as given in Table2 of Recommendation ITU-R PI.842. In the case of atmospheric noise, the decile deviations of noise power arising from day-to-day variability are taken from Recommendation ITU-R PI.372. No allowance for within-an-hour variability is

45、currently applied. For man- made noise, in the absence of direct information on temporal variability, the decile deviations are taken as those given in Recommendation ITU-R PI.372 which strictly relate to a combination of temporal and spatial variability. The combined within-an-hour and day-to-day d

46、ecile variability of galactic noise is taken as +2 dB. 9. Lowest usable frequency (LUF) The LUF is defined in Recommendation ITU-R PI.373. Consistent with this definition, this is evaluated as the lowest frequency, expressed to the nearest 0.1 MHz, at which a required signal-to-noise ratio is achiev

47、ed by the monthly median signal-to-noise. 10. Basic circuit reliability (BCR) The BCR is defined in Recommendation ITU-R PI.842. It is evaluated on the basis of signallnoise ratios incorporating within-an-hour and day-to-day decile variations of both signal field strength and noise background. Distr

48、ibution about the median uses a distribution formulation from Recommendation ITU-R PI.842. Caution is given that this approach makes no allowance for system degradation due to signal dispersion such as can be particularly important when dealing with digital transmissions.
