5、rder to determine the expected level of non-GSO interference, recommends 1 that the method described in Annex 1 could be used to construct geographic distributions of maximum epfdlevels generated within a GSO satellite coverage area by a non-GSO system that uses circular orbits; 2 that Annex 1 could

6、 be used by administrations, including GSO/fixed-satellite service (FSS) network operators, to provide them with guidance for designing links for a specific geographical location given the following Notes: NOTE 1 Validation software has been specified to check compliance of a non-GSO system with epf

7、dlimits in Article 22 of the Radio Regulations (see Recommendation ITU-R S.1503). This software generates epfd levels which are meant to be an absolute envelope and are not representative of what would be generated over time by the non-GSO FSS system in operation. NOTE 2 If the methodology in Annex

8、1 is applied using the assumptions and satellite pfd mask approach as defined in the Recommendation ITU-R S.1503 validation approach, geographical distribution will be obtained of the absolute maximum epfdenvelope. In the case where the method in Annex 1 is applied to simulation models more represen

ITU-R S.1559 ANNEX 1 Algorithm for calculating geographic distribution of maximum epfdinterference levels caused by non-GSO systems 1 Introduct

10、ion Since non-GSO interference will vary geographically it could be useful for administrations to be able to quantify this interference using software that can estimate the geographic and temporal distribution of non-GSO FSS interference. The analysis will represent the maximum interference expected

11、 over the life of the non-GSO system. Analyses of typical scenarios provide little value since the interference levels can have extremely large variations. The methodology presented in this Annex could be used to generate maps showing representative maximum non-GSO interference power levels that cou

12、ld be received on any land area. The maps will provide guidance for GSO operators for designing links. These maps would provide GSO operators with additional knowledge of maximum epfd locations. This Annex gives a method for calculating the geographic distribution of maximum epfd levels for non-GSO

13、systems with circular orbits that use an exclusion angle for GSO interference mitigation. For these non-GSO systems the maximum epfdinterference levels (for GSO ground stations with 3 m or greater antennas) occur on or near where the non-GSO spacecraft is inline between the GSO ground station and th

14、e GSO spacecraft. For non-GSO systems where this is not the case this approach does not apply. The maximum epfdis found from a computer simulation of the non-GSO system. However, since the value is near an inline situation, only a small number of time points need to be simulated to determine the max

15、imum epfd. Only points that are within the 10 dB beamwidth of the GSO ground station need to be considered since in these types of non-GSO systems locations outside of the 10 dB beamwidth will almost certainly be at least 10 dB below the maximum epfdvalue found on the Earths surface. Since most non-

16、GSO systems have unique characteristics, the proposed method does not describe how to simulate the specific non-GSO system. Instead it computes the time periods needed to be simulated. A resolution of 1 longitude by 1 latitude is sufficient resolution to show the general variations in interference l

17、evels, however finer resolution may be necessary for more detailed studies, especially in the case of larger antennas. It is noted that non-GSO systems with continuously repeating ground tracks will have maximum epfdvariations over a much smaller area. 2 Outline of algorithm The method given can be

18、used to calculate time periods during a non-GSO simulation when a spacecraft passes though a given beamwidth of a GSO ground antenna. First a piece-wise linear approximation to the intersection of the GSO ground antenna beam with the non-GSO sphere is Rec. ITU-R S.1559 3 computed. For each point on

19、the intersection, exact orbital parameters of a non-GSO spacecraft are computed such that the spacecraft will intersect the point on the next orbit.

35、 orbits of the test spacecraft that intersect Qi. One occurs when the spacecraft is ascending in latitude and the other when the spacecraft is descending. For each of these orbits, both the initial longitude (time = 0) and intersection times with Qiare computed. Since the z coordinate of the test sp

One when the spacecraft is ascending in latitude and the other when the spacecraft is descending in latitude. i1= sin1(iz/(S sin(i) (16) i2= i1Tij, the number of times during the orbit when the test spacecraft passes through Qiis given by:

37、 Tij= (ij 0) / (r+ 2/P) for j = 1, 2 (17) where P is orbit period.

40、 the satellite will cross the beam of the GSO antenna at some point during the next orbit. It is important to note that the modulo nature of longitude is taken into account when making this calculation. 8 Determining the simulation time of a spacecraft crossing through the beam of the GSO ground sta

41、tion antenna The simulated time of an orbit crossing an antenna beam is calculated by intersecting the orbit with the piecewise line segments of Qias shown in Fig. 4. If an ascending longitude crossing is in-between the min(ij) and max(ij) then the orbit will cross the beam of the GSO antenna. The o

42、rbit will intersect the Qiat two locations. By interpolating the corresponding Tijthe intersection times are approximated. Let: Ni= (i + 1) mod n (21) For any non-zero duration crossing there will be one value of i = i1 such that ij k Nij.Also there will be one value of i = i2 such that ij k Nij. NO

43、TE 1 Points near the equator might have only one intersection since there may be a crossing that begins on one orbit and ends on the next. The corresponding intersection time after the equatorial crossing can be approximated from a linear interpolation of the known intersection times Ti. Rec. ITU-R
