ITU-R SA.2183 1 Introduction This Report presents a method of calculating attenuation, n

10、oise temperature, and link performance, based on ITU-R Recommendations concerning the characteristics of radio wave propagation. The method can be extended to include equipment characteristics. The method includes consideration of some effects that become important for systems with noise temperature

11、s below about 30 K when operated in frequency bands below about 15 GHz. These factors are cosmic background noise, galactic noise, and the effect of atmospheric attenuation on their values. For many other systems with higher noise temperatures, these factors may be neglected. The method will be expl

12、ained in the context of providing data for the selection of preferred frequency bands on the basis of link performance. 2 References The method and calculations to be described are based in part on the following Recommendations: Recommendation ITU-R P.837-5 Characteristics of precipitation for propa

15、 may be identified: space-to-Earth, as limited only by natural phenomena; space-to-Earth, including the effects of equipment; Earth-to-space, as limited only by natural phenomena; Earth-to-space, including the effects of equipment. For the Earth-to-space link, contributions to the noise temperature

16、of the spacecraft receiving system also include the cosmic and galactic backgrounds, but the contribution from the atmosphere of the Earth may be relatively small. For deep-space probes the Earth occupies such a small portion of the receiving antenna pattern that the noise temperature contribution o

17、f the atmosphere is negligible. The attenuation of the atmosphere must nevertheless be included in the link analysis since it directly affects the received signal power. It is useful to consider links using two types of antennas. The first link assumes fixed diameter transmitting and receiving anten

18、nas. In this case the gain of both antennas varies with frequency. The second type of link assumes the use of one fixed diameter antenna and one fixed beamwidth antenna. In this case the gain of the fixed beam width antenna is nearly independent of frequency. An example of this case is the use of an

19、 omnidirectional antenna on a space station in order to allow communication during course correction maneuvers or loss of attitude control. The shape of link performance curves depends on the antenna types assumed. Rep. ITU-R SA.2183 3 4 Method for calculating link performance The method for calcula

20、ting link performance of space-to-Earth link under conditions of atmospheric attenuation and atmosphere plus rain attenuation is described. Tables 1 to 5 list the several parameters included in the calculation. The tables are: 1. Attenuation by atmospheric gasses and noise temperature as a function

21、of frequency, elevation angle and water vapour density for atmospheric propagation. 2. Attenuation and noise temperature due to rainfall alone, as a function of frequency, elevation angle, and rain rate. 3. Attenuation and noise temperature for a propagation path including atmosphere plus rain, usin

22、g data from Table 2. 4. Link performance for an assumed set of transmitter, antenna, and distance parameters, and considering the attenuation and noise temperature data from Table 1. 5. Link performance for an assumed set of transmitter, antenna, and distance parameters, considering the attenuation

23、and noise temperature data from Table 3. The tables are merely examples which show the various parameters and values for a few frequencies. Values given in the tables are the result of analytic calculations. It should not be inferred that listing of these values to a precision of several decimal pla

24、ces is an indication of the accuracy or precision of the underlying propagation data or associated analytic expressions. Prediction of actual link performance to the indicated precision is not generally possible. For a space-Earth propagation path through a rainy atmosphere, the attenuation is equal

25、 to the attenuation caused by the clear atmosphere along the path, plus the additional attenuation caused by the rainfall along the path. The attenuation caused by the atmosphere alone, and the attenuation caused by the rainfall alone are separately calculated (see Recommendation ITU-R P.618). The s

26、ky noise temperature attributed to the rainy atmosphere is calculated with respect to the total attenuation, and is not equal to the sum of the noise temperatures that could be calculated for each of the two components of the total attenuation. For each line in each table there is a description of t

27、he parameter or calculation and, usually, a particular information source is referenced. 5 Calculations for atmospheric attenuation (no rain or clouds) Table 1 presents calculated values of attenuation caused by the atmosphere, and of noise temperature caused by the combined effects of the cosmic ba
