20、Technical characteristics of ESVs operating in the frequency band 5 925-6 425 MHz which is allocated to the FSS 1 Introduction At present, ESVs are in operation in all ITU Regions on a variety of sea-going vessels and mobile platforms, utilizing existing FSS space segment in the band 5 925-6 425 MHz

21、 on an experimental basis. The broadband signal capacity, ubiquitous coverage, dependable operation, resistance to weather-related interruptions and ready availability afforded by existing FSS networks in the 5 925-6 425 MHz band make them desirable for ESV operations. This Annex provides a descript

22、ion of existing and planned earth stations on vessels that operate in the band 5 925-6 425 MHz in FSS networks. 1 http:/www.itu.int/itu-r/go/rsg4/recs1587data/. Rec. ITU-R S.1587-3 3 2 Description of deployed ESV systems and their operations 2.1 Description of ESV systems ESV operations utilizing 5

23、925-6 425 MHz FSS frequencies are now employed in all ITU Regions on a variety of large vessels such as passenger ships, seismic research and petroleum exploration ships, and naval vessels. (The size, weight and expense associated with ESV systems in the 5 925-6 425 MHz band dictate that only the la

24、rgest vessels are candidates for such facilities.) In addition, movable oil and gas drilling platforms employ ESVs for the exchange of high-speed data essential to their operations. An ESV utilizes an extremely reliable stabilized platform and proven very small aperture terminal (VSAT) technology. E

25、ach ESV installation on board vessels is individually controlled by a land earth station (hub). The equipment comprising an earth station installed on board a vessel can be subdivided into three subsystems: antenna subsystem; RF subsystem; and digital/modem subsystem. The antenna subsystem is mounte

26、d above decks and it possesses characteristics unique to maritime applications. The digital/modem subsystem is located below decks while the RF subsystem is installed above decks with the antenna subsystem. The components used for the digital/modem and the RF subsystems are conventional pieces of eq

27、uipment used for land earth stations. 2.2 Antenna subsystem The antenna subsystem consists of a stabilized platform and an antenna. These components are mounted above decks and are covered by a rigid radome composed of composite foam/fibreglass. In an illustrative system, the antenna is a steerable

28、2.4 m aluminium axis-symmetrical parabola with either a circular or a linear polarized prime focus feed. The antenna gain towards the horizon ranges from 4 to 7 dBi. The G/T is 16.5 dB/K or greater. The antenna centreline is a fixed value, such as 26 m above mean sea level. The antenna operating cha

29、racteristics meet Recommendations ITU-R S.524, ITU-R S.580, ITU-R S.731 and ITU-R S.732. The antenna subsystem must be designed such that it is able to compensate for the motion of the vessel. The pointing accuracy shall be better than 0.2 peak. It is noted that in order to meet antenna performance

30、recommendations with current antenna designs, antenna size must be 2.4 m or more. The stabilized platform uses a microprocessor-based antenna control unit. It stabilizes the earth station on a mobile seaborne platform to maintain signal lock and maintains the pointing accuracy within 0.2 peak. The u

31、nit adjusts for the relative position of the mobile platform and the movements caused by wind and waves. 2.3 RF subsystem The RF subsystem consists of standard transmitters and receivers, and conventional up- and down-converters certified for performance with satellites. The up- and down-converters

32、are mounted above decks with the antenna in the rigid radome. 4 Rec. ITU-R S.1587-3 2.4 Digital/modem subsystem The digital/modem subsystem, which is located below decks in the radio room, consists of an antenna control unit, and other conventional, readily available electronic equipment designed to

33、 work in accordance with the above-specified operational parameters. 2.5 Terminating capability In order to adequately safeguard against inadvertent interference with stations in the terrestrial service, the technical design of ESVs must include automatic features capable of either limiting or termi

34、nating operations when certain conditions are met. Those operating conditions are discussed in 3. The system is set up to terminate transmissions instantaneously in the event antenna system losses pointing lock on the satellite. 2.6 Description of ESV hub function Figure 1 illustrates the operating

35、relationship of a typical ESV and its HUB. The system is a closed user group network with the ships communicating only through the hub earth station, without a direct connection to the public switched telephone network. The hub operator is responsible for requests to discontinue service on a ship fo

36、r any given reason. Control of the ships transmission by the hub is maintained 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 3 Operational characteristics of typical ESVs operating in the 5 925-6 425 MHz frequency band Because these earth stations are rather large they are deployed on heavy, deep draft ships.

37、ESVs have the capability to operate 24 hours per day while in port, in transit in the deep-water channel to and from port, and while on the high seas. When in port these vessels are assigned to predetermined piers that can facilitate large tonnage vessels. While transiting between the port facility

38、and the open seas, these ships must maintain adequate speed, usually a minimum of 5 knots, for effective steerage, and stay in the deep-water channel. Antennas, which are sea stabilized, have their main beams directed toward the satellite in geostationary orbit. Rec. ITU-R S.1587-3 5 FIGURE 1 Operat

39、ing relationship of a typical ESV and its HUB S. 87 115 -0 The ESV transmitter is to be inhibited when any of the following conditions occur: the antenna subsystem loses lock on the satellite and/or the ability to maintain tracking accuracy; e.g. during heavy wave conditions when pointing accuracy i

40、s lost; the ESV e.i.r.p. towards the horizon exceeds the recommended value; when the ESV is within certain predefined geographical boundaries where the use of ESVs is prohibited. 3.1 In general: three distinct operational phases For purposes of studying the interference potential between ESVs and th

41、e terrestrial service, there are three distinct phases of operation: Phase 1: operations in open sea; Phase 2: operations while at a specific, fixed location, such as when a ship is docked in port; Phase 3: operations in-motion in the sea lanes and port channels near shore when a ship approaches or

42、departs from a port. 3.2 ESV operations in open sea When ESVs operate in open sea, they should be sufficiently far from terrestrial services and FSS stations that they do not represent a source of potential interference to those stations, nor are they concerned with interference from terrestrial 4 G

43、Hz transmitters. It would be desirable and practical from an operational perspective to select a fixed distance from shore where it may be safely presumed that ESVs may operate without the need to coordinate with terrestrial service stations. 3.3 ESV operations in stationary mode Vessels equipped wi

44、th ESVs that are stationary in port can be coordinated, employing applicable procedures and technical parameters set forth in Recommendations ITU-R SM.1448 (coordination area) and ITU-R SF.1006 (interference potential). ESV-equipped vessels are inevitably large, with 6 Rec. ITU-R S.1587-3 all of the

45、ir operations confined as a matter of necessity to specified port channels (the path into and out of a port, generally surrounded by land), sea lanes (the limits marked just outside a port beyond the port channels indicating where a ship may safely operate while approaching or departing from a port)

46、, and piers. For purposes of coordination, the entire area of the identified pier in which an ESV-equipped ship is located can be specified with precision, analysed and coordinated for interference. The ESV-equipped vessels usually dock at the same piers on every trip, so it is possible to coordinat

47、e operations at the pertinent piers using existing coordination procedures. 3.4 ESV operations in motion While ESV-equipped vessels are under way in the channel or within the sea-lane limits, they are constantly in motion, travelling at speeds ranging from 5 to 15 knots. The large vessels which empl

48、oy ESVs require identified piers, defined port channels, and specified sea-lanes. These port channels and sea lanes are clearly physically demarcated in every case so that they may be observed and followed by large vessels, and they are also set forth on maps and charts. Large vessels typically spen

49、d some time docked at identified piers, and periodically go to sea. Multiple vessels that are equipped with earth stations may operate at the same port, but each ship of a given type operates with the same parameters as others of its type, including pier locations and limits of the path travelled in and out of the port (i.e. the port channel and limits of the sea lanes). These in-motion ESV operations near shore present a potential for interference to terrestrial fixed station receivers in the 6 GHz band, and also potential for interference from terrestrial transmit
