14、ies considering EESS (active) systems using allocations between 432 MHz and 238 GHz. 2 Rec. ITU-R RS.2105-0 Annex Technical and operational parameters of EESS (active) systems using allocations between 432 MHz and 238 GHz 1 Introduction Active sensors are used in the remote sensing of the Earth and

15、its atmosphere by Earth exploration and meteorological satellites in certain frequency bands allocated to the Earth exploration-satellite service (EESS) (active). The products of these active sensor operations are used extensively in meteorology, climatology, and other disciplines for operational an

16、d scientific purposes. The technical and operational parameters presented in this Recommendation shall be used in studies considering EESS (active) systems using allocations between 432 MHz and 238 GHz. However, it should be noted that some of the EESS (active) systems are under development and the

17、typical values for certain parameters provided should be considered preliminary as these still may change. 2 Active sensor types and typical characteristics There are five active spaceborne sensor types addressed in this Recommendation: Type 1: Synthetic aperture radars (SAR) Sensors looking to one

18、side of the nadir track, collecting a phase and time history of the coherent radar echo from which a radar image of the Earths surface from the returned echo or topography from interferometric returns can be produced. Type 2: Altimeters Sensors looking at nadir, measuring the precise time between a

19、transmit event and receive event, to extract the precise altitude of the Earths ocean surface. Type 3: Scatterometers Sensors pointing at various look angles relative to the sides of the nadir track, using the measurement of the return echo power variation with aspect angle to determine the roughnes

20、s of land surface or to determine the wind direction and speed on the Earths ocean surface. Type 4: Precipitation radars Sensors scanning perpendicular to nadir track which measure the radar echo from rainfall in order to determine the rainfall rate over the Earths surface and the three-dimensional

21、structure of rainfall. Type 5: Cloud profile radars Sensors looking at nadir which measure the radar echo return from clouds in order to determine the cloud reflectivity profile over the Earths surface. Some typical characteristics of spaceborne active sensors are shown below in Table 1. The actual

22、characteristic values of the systems operating in the various frequency bands provided in 7 of this Recommendation may vary considerably from these typical characteristic values reflected in Table 1.

Orbits are typically circular with an altitude between 350 and 1 400 km. Some EESS (act

27、ive) systems operate in a sun-synchronous orbit. Some sensors make measurements over the same area on the Earth every day, while others will repeat observations only after a longer (often more than two weeks) repeat period. In certain circumstances, multiple satellites operate in formation. Formatio

28、n flying EESS satellites allow the capability to measure different Earth system characteristics (land, ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere and solid Earth) using both multiple instruments and orientations. Measurements from multiple spacecraft will be separated within an amount of time shorter than the ti

29、me constant of the phenomena being measured. Nominally, this separation is on the order of 5 to 15 min, but can be as little as a few seconds. 4 Active sensors interference and performance criteria The criteria for performance, interference and data availability are provided in Recommendation ITU-R

30、RS.1166 for the various types of active spaceborne sensors. Performance criteria for active spaceborne sensors are needed in order to develop interference criteria. Interference criteria, in turn, can be used to assess the compatibility of other active services and active sensors operating in common

31、 frequency bands. 4 Rec. ITU-R RS.2105-0 5 Sharing considerations for active sensors 5.1 Existing ITU-R Recommendations and Reports The sharing considerations for sharing between spaceborne active sensors in the EESS (active) and other services are provided in the ITU-R Recommendations and Reports l

32、isted in Table 2. These Recommendations and Reports are concerned with specific frequency bands or ranges of frequencies and the other services operating in those bands. The sharing considerations for spaceborne active sensors include the level of the power flux-density (pfd) and received interferen

33、ce power at the Earths surface, the type of transmitted RF signal, the dynamics of the antenna coupling with systems of other services, and the types of systems in the other services.

47、 due to active spaceborne sensors The characteristics of the various types of active spaceborne sensors as shown in Table 1 indicate that the transmitted peak power and therefore the power levels received at the Earths surface will vary significantly.
