1、 Rec. ITU-R SM.1140 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R SM.1140*TEST PROCEDURES FOR MEASURING AERONAUTICAL RECEIVER CHARACTERISTICS USED FOR DETERMINING COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE SOUND-BROADCASTING SERVICE IN THE BAND OF ABOUT 87-108 MHz AND THE AERONAUTICAL SERVICES IN THE BAND 108-118 MHz (Question ITU-R 201/2

2、) (1995) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that, in order to ensure the efficiency of spectrum utilization, there is a need to assess the compatibility between the sound-broadcasting service in the band of about 87-108 MHz and the aeronautical radionavigation services in the band 1

8、 Group 1 made editorial amendments to this Recommendation. 2 Rec. ITU-R SM.1140 1 Background and introduction 1.1 In the past, difficulties were experienced when making direct comparisons of test results submitted by different administrations because of various interpretations of definitions and tes

9、t criteria. For example, depending on a particular interpretation, this resulted in the use of: a minimum localizer signal level of 86 dBm or 89 dBm; a localizer course deflection current (see Note 1)of 7.5 A or 9 A; a standard localizer deviation signal of 0.093 DDM (see Note 1)or 90 A; an FM pre-e

10、mphasis of 50 s or 75 s; a maximum FM signal deviation of 75 kHz peak, 32 kHz quasi-peak or 32 kHz peak; ITU-R coloured noise and pink noise sources with and without a stereo modulator. NOTE 1 Definitions are given in Annex 1, Appendix 2. In addition, many test reports were limited to the use of min

11、imum VOR/localizer signal levels and band-edge frequencies of 108.1 MHz for the localizer and 108.2 MHz for the VOR receiver. 1.2 ICAO has specified in its Annex 10, Part I ( 3.1.4 for ILS localizer and 3.3.8 for VOR) that: as from 1 January 1995, all new installations of ILS localizer and VOR recei

12、ving systems shall meet new interference immunity performance standards; as from 1 January 1998, all ILS localizer and VOR receiving systems shall meet new interference immunity performance standards. The formula specified for the Type B1 interference 2-signal case is as follows: 2 N1 + N2 + 3 24 20

13、 log (max(0.4; 108.1 f1) / 0.4 0 where: f1 : broadcasting frequency (MHz) closest to 108.1 MHz N1, N2 : broadcasting signal levels (dBm) at the input to the aeronautical receiver for broadcasting frequencies f1and f2, respectively f2 :broadcasting frequency (MHz) furthest from 108.1 MHz. However, di

14、fficulties in frequency planning and implementation were experienced in the application of this formula because: it does not address Type B1 interference, 3-signal intermodulation cases; it makes reference to the frequency 108.1 MHz rather than the actual ILS localizer and VOR systems; it does not t

15、ake into account differences between ILS localizer and VOR systems; it does not contain a correction factor to account for improvement in immunity resulting from increases in wanted signal levels. The Type B2 interference criteria specified in ICAO Annex 10 also does not contain a correction factor

16、to account for improvement in immunity resulting from increases in wanted signal levels. ICAO Annex 10 does not specify any type A1 or A2 interference criteria. 1.3 The 1998 receiver immunity standards contained in ICAO Annex 10 were used in minimum operational performance standards (MOPS) developed

17、 by RTCA Inc. in Region 2 and its counterpart, EUROCAE, in Region 1. In particular, the applicable RTCA documents are: RTCA/DO-195: Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Airborne ILS Localizer Receiving Equipment Operating Within the Radio Frequency Range of 108-112 MHz (1986); Rec. ITU-R SM

18、.1140 3 RTCA/DO-196: Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Airborne VOR Receiving Equipment Operating Within the Radio Frequency Range of 108-117.95 MHz (1986). These MOPS, however, address only receiver immunity aspects for Type B2 interference (see 2.2.3) and for the 2-signal Type B1 inter

19、ference case (see 2.2.2), for a limited set of test frequencies and signal levels. 1.4 The development of realistic compatibility assessment criteria and techniques requires that the immunity characteristics be explored for the full range of localizer frequencies (i.e. 108.10-111.95 MHz), VOR freque

20、ncies (i.e. 108.05-117.95 MHz), FM broadcasting frequencies and signal levels. 1.5 This Recommendation specifies test procedures for determining the interference immunity characteristics of ICAO Annex 10 1998 ILS localizer and VOR receivers with respect to Type A1, A2, B1, and B2 interference from b

21、roadcasting stations. These test procedures were developed by Radiocommunication Task Group 2/1 studying aeronautical/broadcasting compatibility and were used in the bench testing of the ICAO Annex 10 1998 receivers at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center, Atlantic City, New Je

22、rsey, United States of America in 1993-94 and subsequent cross-check tests conducted by other organizations. 2 Interference mechanisms 2.1 Type A interference 2.1.1 Introduction Type A interference is caused by unwanted emissions into the aeronautical band from one or more broadcasting transmitters.

23、 2.1.2 Type A1 interference A single transmitter may generate spurious emissions or several broadcasting transmitters may intermodulate to produce components in the aeronautical frequency bands; this is termed Type A1 interference. 2.1.3 Type A2 interference A broadcasting signal may include non-neg

24、ligible components in the aeronautical bands; this interference mechanism, which is termed Type A2 interference, will in practice arise only from broadcasting transmitters having frequencies near 108 MHz and will only interfere with ILS localizer/VOR services with frequencies near 108 MHz. 2.2 Type

25、B interference 2.2.1 Introduction Type B interference is that generated in an aeronautical receiver resulting from broadcasting transmissions on frequencies outside the aeronautical band. 2.2.2 Type B1 interference Intermodulation may be generated in an aeronautical receiver as a result of the recei

26、ver being driven into non-linearity by broadcasting signals outside the aeronautical band; this is termed Type B1 interference. In order for this type of interference to occur, at least two broadcasting signals need to be present and they must have a frequency relationship which, in a non-linear pro

27、cess, can produce an intermodulation product within the wanted RF channel in use by the aeronautical receiver. One of the broadcasting signals must be of sufficient amplitude to drive the receiver into regions of non linearity but interference may then be produced even though the other signal(s) may

28、 be of significantly lower amplitude. 4 Rec. ITU-R SM.1140 Only third-order intermodulation products are considered; they take the form of: fintermod : 2 f1 f2 two-signal case or fintermod : = f1+ f2 f3three-signal case where: f1, f2, f3 : broadcasting frequencies (MHz) with f1 f2 f3fintermod : inte

29、rmodulation product frequency (MHz) 2.2.3 Type B2 interference Desensitization may occur when the RF section of an aeronautical receiver is subjected to overload by one or more broadcasting transmissions; this is termed Type B2 interference. Other internal receiver mechanisms, such as spurious respo

30、nses, may be incorrectly identified as B2 interference. These responses can be identified by the extremely frequency-sensitive nature of the interference when tested in the unmodulated RF mode. 3 Signal characteristics 3.1 ILS signal characteristics The localizer portion of an ILS signal operates in

31、 the frequency range 108-111.975 MHz. The radiation from the localizer antenna system produces a composite field pattern which is amplitude modulated by a 90 Hz and a 150 Hz tone. The radiation field pattern produces a course sector with one tone predominating on one side of the course and the other

32、 tone predominating on the opposite side. 3.2 VOR signal characteristics The VOR operates in the frequency range 108-117.950 MHz and radiates a radio-frequency carrier with which are associated two separate 30 Hz modulations. One of these modulations, called the reference phase, is such that its pha

33、se is independent of the azimuth of the point of observation. The other modulation, called the variable phase, is such that its phase at the point of observation differs from that of the reference phase by an angle equal to the bearing of the point of the observation with respect to the VOR. 3.3 FM

34、broadcasting signal characteristics FM broadcasting stations operate in the frequency range 87-108 MHz. These stations radiate a frequency modulated signal with, either: 32 kHz quasi-peak deviation with 50 s pre-emphasis of the baseband signal; or 75 kHz peak deviation with 75 s pre-emphasis of the

35、baseband signal. Noise modulation in accordance with Recommendation ITU-R BS.559 is used to simulate an FM broadcast audio signal. 4 Test set-up 4.1 Overview of test set-up A suitable test set-up (including important equipment characteristics) is shown in Figs. 1a, 1b and 1c. This test should prefer

36、ably utilize a semi-automated test set-up consisting of a computer for test execution, test equipment control, and data collection. The main computer should adjust both the desired and undesired signal generator outputs and provide the interface to the receiver under test to record the course deflec

37、tion current and flag voltage. Digital receiver testing may require the use of an additional computer to interface with the ARINC 429 bus. Rec.

43、eine page 4.2 Test set-up description 4.2.1 The ITU-R noise source for the stereo signal is composed of a white noise generator, a Recommendation ITU-R BS.559 noise filter, and a 50 or 75 s pre-emphasis filter. 4.2.2 In either case, the noise signal, S1, should be fed to the stereo generator with th

44、e left channel signal level in phase with, but 6 dB greater than, the right channel. It is then modulated to give an FM stereo signal. This stereo signal (f1) should be used in the A1, A2, and B1 tests (see Fig. 1a). 4.2.3 Frequencies f2and f3are used only during B1testing. During the B1coincident t

45、ests, f2and f3are unmodulated. For the B1 offset test, both f2and f3are monaural signals from the ITU-R noise source described above. The frequency modulation function is performed by the RF signal generators. 4.2.4 The B2 tests should use an unmodulated RF signal f1. 4.2.5 The high signal levels re

46、quired by the ICAO future immunity criteria receivers necessitate additional amplification which should be provided by RF amplifiers. A maximum signal level of at least + 15 dBm at the receivers input should be used during these tests. 8 Rec. ITU-R SM.1140 4.2.6 The three band-reject filters should

47、be tuned to the desired frequency in order to reject any desired frequency component or RF noise that may be produced in the FM signal circuitry. The filters should produce a rejection of at least 54 dB. These filters should not be used in the A1 tests. They may be left in the circuit to maintain an

48、 impedance match between the FM signal circuitry and the receiver if they are detuned several MHz away from the aeronautical frequency. A plot of the filter characteristics is shown in Fig. 2. NOTE 1 Practical limitations of existing test equipment require the use of band-reject filters for the A2 t

49、ests to reduce the noise floor of the signal generator and spurious emissions on the aeronautical frequency to the 140 dBm/Hz level specified in this Recommendation. Unfortunately, the filters have the side-effect of attenuating some FM modulation components of the simulated broadcast signal. It may be possible to obtain a more realistic simulation by using an actual FM broadcast transmitter, a high-powered crystal oscillator, or a signal generat
