13、S to a GSO satellite system in the FSS within the band 27.5-28.35 GHz. This band is used for the Earth-to-space (uplink) direction by the GSO/FSS system. 2 A methodology for interference evaluation 2.1 Interference from a HAPS system Figure 1 shows the analysis model assumed for the evaluation of in

14、terference from a HAPS system to a GSO satellite. The interference power level in 1 MHz, I(g,h,b,r) due to a spot beam of a HAPS, received by a GSO satellite (g) is calculated using equation (1): dB(W/MHz),(),(),()(),( rghGhgFSLbhgGFbPrbhgIrxStxHlossH+= (1) where: PH(b) : transmitter power in 1 MHz

17、(dBi) of the GSO satellite (g) for off-axis angle (h, g,r). 4 Rec. ITU-R SF.1601-2 To calculate the discrimination angle at a GSO satellite, a reference point must be established for the calculations. The reference point is selected as a specific location on the surface of the Earth. It is then assu

18、med that the boresight of the spot beam antenna of the GSO satellite is always directed to the reference point, regardless of the orbital location of the spacecraft. In cases where the reference point is not visible to the GSO satellite, then it is assumed that the reference point is moved to anothe

19、r point under the condition that the elevation angle toward the GSO satellite is the minimum value. Figure 2 shows the geometric model of the example including the reference point. Based on an operational scenario of the HAPS system in which a HAPS can transmit multiple carriers in each spot beam, i

20、t is assumed that HAPS downlink multiple carriers could exist in the entire receiver bandwidth at the GSO satellite. The aggregate interference from a HAPS system is expressed as Isingleand calculated as a sum of the spectral density I(g,h,b,r) of all the possible spot beams of the HAPS which could

21、use the same frequency as shown in equation (2). =bbhhInrb,h,g,Insingle1101log10)/10(dB(W/MHz) (2) where bnindicates the number of spot beams which could use the same frequency and hnindicates the number of HAPS which one HAPS system consists of. Once the interference level received by the FSS has b

23、O/FSS satellite (K). Rec. ITU-R SF.1601-2 5 The calculated aggregate interference level would then be compared with an appropriate interference threshold in order to determine if the HAPS system is causing harmful interference to the FSS. 2.2 Interference from multiple HAPS systems Situations could

24、arise in which several operational HAPS systems could cause interference to a certain GSO satellite. The aggregate interference from multiple HAPS systems is expressed as Imultipleand derived from the sum total of each interference level from each HAPS system to the GSO satellite as shown in equatio

25、n (4). dB(W/MHz)11110log1010)/(=nn nrb,h,g,ImultiplesshhbbI (4) where snindicates the number of HAPS systems. The other terms are as described above for the case of interference from a single HAPS system. For an exact evaluation of a multiple HAPS situation, the characteristics of each HAPS system s

26、hould be used in the calculations. In the absence of such information for one or more of the systems, an approximate indication of the resulting interference can be obtained by using the characteristics of a reference HAPS system in the calculations. Once Imultiplehas been found, it can be used inst

27、ead of Isinglein equation (3) in order to assess the impact of the interference upon the FSS. 2.3 Downlink power control The interference from HAPS downlink to GSO/FSS uplink is maximum under the condition of maximum transmission power of HAPS downlink or under the rain condition. When using downlin

28、k power control in HAPS system, aggregate transmission power of HAPS downlink can be reduced under clear-sky conditions. As a result, the interference received at the FSS spacecraft is reduced in clear-sky conditions. 2.4 Input parameters Interference studies applying the methodology of this Annex s

29、hould use actual characteristics of FSS and HAPS systems under consideration if available. In their absence, the following values may be used: 2.4.1 HAPS characteristics See Recommendation ITU-R F.1569. 2.4.2 FSS input characteristics Tsat : 500 K Antenna beamwidth (small stations): 0.3 Antenna beam

30、width (hub stations): 2 Antenna gain: Recommendation ITU-R S.672, Annex 1, (Ls= 20 dB)1. 1Recommendation ITU-R S.672 provides design objectives for spacecraft antenna designers. Providing objectives for a shaped beam is not possible for typical cases as there is no knowledge of the FSS service area.

31、 A specific roll-off performance of Ls= 10 dB may be used so as to characterize the shaped beam case. Further study is required on the roll-off performance. 6 Rec. ITU-R SF.1601-2 Appendix 1 to Annex 1 An example of the application of the methodology of Annex 1 1 Interference model It is assumed a H

32、APS system consisting of a number of HAPS platforms is operating in a rectangular area as shown in Fig. 3. A platform located at the centre of the area is the reference point in this example calculation and all other platforms are deployed on the plane which is perpendicular to the line connecting t

33、he reference point and its nadir point on the Earth. When the reference point is taken as the origin of the x-y coordinates on that plane, it is assumed that the HAPS platforms are placed at every lattice point in the area which has the coordinates of (Lx, Ly), (Lx Ly), (Lx, Ly) and (Lx, Ly). Also a

34、ssuming that the numbers of HAPS platforms are nxand nyas counted on the x and y axes, respectively, then the total number of platforms, nt, in consideration becomes nx ny(nx and nyare odd numbers). In this deployment model, the separation distance between neighbouring HAPS are expressed as dxand dy

35、as measured along with the x and y axes, respectively. The dxand dyare given by 2Lx/(Nx 1) and 2Ly/(Ny 1), respectively. It is also assumed that the GSO satellite to be interfered is positioned in the direction of the assumed x axis and the satellite antenna is always pointed to the reference point.

36、 The angle in Fig. 4 is defined as the elevation angle of the satellite at the reference point measured from the x-y plane. The aggregate interference from the nTHAPS platforms are evaluated in terms of the interference to satellite noise power ratio, I/N, of the GSO satellite as a function of the e

37、levation angle, for combinations of typical HAPS deployment and satellite characteristics. Rec. ITU-R SF.1601-2 7 2 HAPS characteristics Typical parameters of HAPS systems at the 28 GHz band are given in Recommendation ITU-R F.1569. Table 1 shows the parameters used for the calculations.

It is obvious from the methodology that the I/N of the GSO sa

42、tellite largely depends on the peak gain of the antenna of the GSO satellite when the antenna is pointed towards the interference source. An antenna with the narrow beamwidth (0.3) receives more interference when the reference point has lower elevation angles because the number of the HAPS within th

43、e main beam is limited at the high elevation angles and increased at the lower elevation angles. On the other hand, an antenna with the wider beamwidth (2) receives less interference because of lower antenna gain and the interference level is rather constant because it almost covers the entire HAPS

44、deployment area within the main beam even for the high elevation angles. The interference level mainly depends on the propagation distance of the interference signal. For these cases results show that the I/N of the GSO satellite is less than 20 dB (1%) for both GSO satellite cases under usual opera

45、ting condition where the earth stations are assumed to have elevation angles of 20 or higher against the satellite. Rec. ITU-R SF.1601-2 9 Annex 2 A methodology for the calculation of the e.i.r.p. transmissions from HAPS in the HAPS-to-ground direction within the band 27.5-28.35 GHz that would cause

46、 a given increase in the I/N of receivers of FSS geostationary satellites 1 Introduction The measure of interference used in this method is the I/N of the FSS receiving system. The determinative interference characteristics of the FSS receiving system are its antenna gain and system noise temperatur

47、e. This method can be used to estimate the e.i.r.p. density of transmissions from HAPS in the HAPS-to-ground direction that could cause a given increase in the I/N of FSS receiving systems in the GSO orbit. 2 Description of the method The first step of the method is to calculate the given increase i

48、n interference-to-noise ratio, I/N, by determining the noise power in the assumed receiving system noise power density in 1 MHz. N = k T B (5) 10 Rec. ITU-R SF.1601-2 where: k: Boltzmanns constant (W/(K Hz) T: FSS receiving system noise temperature (K) B: reference bandwidth (1 MHz). Next, the assum

49、ed I/N is used to determine the interference power (dB(W/MHz). I = N + I/N (6) Then the power flux-density (PFD) that would produce the assumed interference at the GSO orbit is calculated: PFD = I GR+ 20 log ( f ) + 21.45 dB(W/(m2 MHz) (7) where: Gr:effective gain (dBi) of the FSS receive antenna in the direction of the interfering HAPS platforms, f: frequency of transmission (GHz). Then, the total e.i.r.p. from all HAPS transmissions that would produce this PFD at the GSO is (
