1、 Rec. ITU-R BO.1293-2 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BO.1293-2 Protection masks and associated calculation methods for interference into broadcast-satellite systems involving digital emissions (Question ITU-R 223/11) (1997-2000-2002) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that protection ratios

2、 and associated protection masks are essential characteristics for the television signals in the broadcasting-satellite service (BSS) and associated feeder links; b) that the Radio Regulations (RR) Appendices 30 and 30A Plans have been developed by using values of protection ratio and interference c

3、alculation methods based on fixed frequency offsets and given types of signal; c) that new systems submitted to the Radiocommunication Bureau (BR) for implementation in these plans propose to use new types of signals for which no protection masks and only limited interference calculation methods are

4、 available; d) that the BR has requested Radiocommunication Study Group 6 to provide additional methodologies and protection criteria to assess interference from and to these new types of signals; e) that the definition of protection masks and associated calculation methods provides very useful tech

5、nical information when revising the RR Appendices 30 and 30A Plans for Regions 1 and 3; f) that several studies have now been carried out by various administrations and organisations that validate the proposed interference calculation method, recognizing a) that protection masks extend the usefulnes

6、s of protection ratios, which are themselves associated with fixed frequency offsets; b) that appropriate protection masks for interference calculation between digital emissions can be derived by using the methodology provided in Annex 3; c) that the World Radiocommunication Conference (Istanbul, 20

7、00) (WRC-2000) has established new BSS and associated feeder-link plans for Regions 1 and 3, based on digital modula-tion, and new Regions 1 and 3 Lists, thus updating Appendices 30 and 30A; d) that Administrations are entitled to implement their Plan assignments at any time without any further rest

8、rictions with respect to the characteristics on which the plans are based, 2 Rec. ITU-R BO.1293-2 recommends 1 that for any EPM/OEPM compatibility analysis carried out under Articles 4 and 5 of Appendices 30 and 30A, Annex 1 should be applied; 2 that the associated interference calculation methods o

9、f EPM/OEPM provided in Annex 2, should be used for the compatibility analyses referred to in recommends 1. NOTE 1 The calculation method to generate protection masks provided in Annex 3 for BSS networks employing all types of digital phase shift keyed emissions may be applied in compatibility analys

10、es for bilateral coordination between administrations. NOTE 2 Further studies are needed to develop masks for interference between other types of emission (i.e. for analogue into analogue, digital into analogue and analogue into digital interfe-rence). Until such time as these masks are available, t

11、he method described in Annex 1 should be used when calculating interference between emissions when the interference is digital. ANNEX 1 Calculation of digital interference in the absence of appropriate protection masks When applying the calculation method of Annex 2, it is desirable to apply the mos

12、t appropriate protection mask for the digital interference situation under consideration (i.e. the most appropriate value for Di ( foi) in Annex 2). For example, for digital interference into a digital emission, this mask can be derived using the calculation method given in Annex 3. Further studies

13、are required to derive suitable generic protection masks for the case of digital into analogue interference. Until such time as these masks are available, the method given below should be used to calculate the interference between two emissions, where the interferer is a digital emission. The value

14、for D ( fo) is calculated as follows: D( fo) = 10 log10()(/ fobB + K where: b( fo) : overlapping bandwidth between the interfering carrier and the wanted carrier (MHz) B : necessary bandwidth of the interfering digital carrier (MHz) K : positive weighting coefficient. Rec. ITU-R BO.1293-2 3 In gener

15、al, a protection mask calculation method such as that given in Annex 3 quantifies the value K which may vary depending upon the wanted and interfering signal parameters and the frequency offset between the two signals (in fact, the method of Annex 3 does not explicitly calculate the factor K but rat

16、her calculates directly the value D ( fo). In the absence of suitable protection masks which quantify the factor K, either directly or indirectly, it should be assumed that K = 0 which corresponds to the worst case. ANNEX 2 Interference calculation methods associated with Annexes 1 and 3*1 Introduct

17、ion The purpose of this Annex is to define a generic method to calculate the interference situation in the BSS Plans, taking into account different categories of interference (e.g. co-channel, adjacent-channel, etc.). The generic interference calculation method defined below, associated with the app

18、ropriate protection mask calculation methods, should be applied to establish the values necessary to assess the interference situation between different emissions of the BSS Plans. 2 Terminology, symbols and operators In order to simplify this Annex and to facilitate its understanding, the following

19、 terminology, symbols and operators are defined: Single entry, se: a single interfering carrier is considered Aggregate, ag: all interfering carriers are considered Equivalent, eq: combination of co-frequency and frequency offset interference Overall, ov: combination of feeder-link (up) and downlink

21、 out the compatibility analysis of assignments, submitted to the BR under the provision of RR Appendices 30 and 30A, with parameters different from those used in the establishment of the Plans (channel bandwidth, centre frequency, type of emission, etc.). 4 Rec.

23、ments are needed: the equivalent aggregate carrier to interference ratio, C/Ieq, ag, on both up and downlinks, C/Ieq, ag, up, C/Ieq, ag, dn, respectively; the overall co-channel (or co-frequency) protection ratios of the wanted carrier, PRov. In addition, definitions for the EPM (see Note 1) and OEP

24、M are required. NOTE 1 EPM is not needed in case of application of this method to the Region 2 BSS Plan. 3.1 The first elements, i.e. the equivalent aggregate carrier to interference ratios, are calculated as follows for both the up and downlinks: ()=+miiiupseiupageqfoICIC D1,)(/=/ ()=+niiidnseidnag

26、the appropriate protection masks value with no frequency offset (i.e. the centre value at 0 MHz) and the protection masks value with a frequency offset of fo MHz. For the case of a digital wanted carrier and a digital interfering carrier, the value D ( fo) = I( fo), where I( fo) ( I(f ) is defined i

Until such time as these masks are available, the model given in Annex 1 should be applied to evaluate D ( fo

28、). Rec. ITU-R BO.1293-2 5 From these first elements the overall equivalent aggregate carrier-to-interference ratio (denoted C/Iov, eq, ag) can be calculated as follows: C/Iov, eq, ag= C/Ieq, ag, up C/Ieq, ag, dn3.2 The second major element, i.e. the overall protection ratio, PRov, is associated to t

29、he type of the wanted carriers. In addition to this second element, a feeder-link protection ratio and a downlink protection ratio, PRupand PRdnrespectively, can be defined.

31、arrier can, for interference calculation purposes, be modelled as a white noise source followed by a square-root, raised cosine pulse shaping filter. The roll-off factor, i, of this filter may be freely specified in the range 0 i 1 (0% to 100% roll-off). The filters 3 dB bandwidth is specified by th

32、e transmitted symbol rate, Ri, for the interfering digital signal. The level of digital interference affecting the wanted digital signal is dependent upon: the frequency offset between the wanted and interfering signals, f; the characteristics of the receivers filter; the characteristics of the tran

33、smission channel that carries the interfering signal. 6 Rec. ITU-R BO.1293-2 The receivers filter is also modelled as a square-root, raised cosine filter with a roll-off factor, w, where (0 w 1), and a 3 dB bandwidth specified by the wanted signal symbol rate Rw. High power amplification of the inte

34、rfering signal causes spectral side lobe re-growth. The interference contributed by the side lobes is negligible for low values of f, but becomes increasingly significant as the frequency offset is increased. Only the first two side lobes need to be considered. The interference contribution from hig

35、her order side lobes is negligible in all practical transmission scenarios. The level of each side lobe is adjusted with respect to the main spectral lobe to reflect the characteristics of the non-linear channel. The relative level of each side lobe comprises two components Lsand X: A value Lsthat i

36、s dependent upon the non-linear characteristics of the high power amplifier (HPA) and upon the amplifiers drive level (backoff). The value of Lsis different for each side lobe. A value X that represents the effect of filtering at the output of the HPA. This attenuation value is assumed to be the sam

37、e for all spectral side lobes. This approach is conservative, since the gain of the post-HPA filter is not flat, but rolls off with increasing frequency offset from the channel centre frequency. The parameters Lsand X are expressed in decibels. The parameters Riand Rware expressed in Msymbol/s. The

38、total bandwidths of the wanted and interfering signals are given by Rw(1 + w) MHz and Ri(1 + i) MHz respectively. The frequency difference parameter f is expressed in MHz. The interference at the output of the receiver filter is assumed to be noise-like. A common algorithm is used to calculate the w

39、anted signal power at the input to the receiver and the interference power contributions from the main spectral lobe and from each of the spectral side lobes. The procedure for calculating each power contribution is as follows (see 3 for definitions of the terms used below): a) set the input paramet

40、ers (Ri, Rw, i, w, f, Lsand X) to the appropriate values for the power contribution to be calculated (wanted signal, interfering signal main spectral lobe or interfering signal spectral side lobe); b) calculate the nine pairs of limits (Un, Ln, n = 1, , 9); c) calculate the five power contribution t

41、erms (Cm, m = 1, , 5); d) calculate the total received power, P: =511010mmXLCPsThe level of interference power I(f ), measured at the output of the receivers filter and expressed relative to the wanted carrier power for a reference link C/I of 0 dB (i.e. assuming equal wanted and interfering carrier

42、 powers), is calculated as follows. Rec. ITU-R BO.1293-2 7 Step 1: Calculate the wanted signal power, Pw, at the output of the receiver filter using the above algorithm and setting the input parameter values as follows: Ri= Rw, i= w, f = 0, Ls= 0, X = 0 Step 2: Calculate the interfering signal power

43、 contribution from the main spectral lobe, P0, at the output of the receiver filter using the same algorithm and setting the input parameters as follows: f = f, Ls= 0, X = 0 Step 3: Calculate the interfering signal power contribution from the first spectral side lobe, P1, with the input parameters s

44、et as follows: f = |f | Ri, Ls= L1 0, X 0 The value for Lsdepends upon the non-linear characteristics of the HPA and its drive level. The value of X depends upon the out-of-band attenuation characteristics of the post-HPA filter. Step 4: Calculate the interfering signal power contribution from the s

45、econd spectral side lobe, P2, with the input parameters set as follows: f = |f | 2Ri, Ls= L2 L1 0, X 0 The value for Lsagain depends upon the non-linear characteristics of the HPA and its drive level. The value of X is the same as in Step 3. Step 5: Calculate the relative interference power for the

46、given signal parameters and frequency offset: dBlog10)(210 +=wPPPPfI 2 Example calculation of a protection mask As an (arbitrary) example, it is assumed that the wanted and interfering signal parameters are as follows: Wanted digital signal: Symbol rate, Rw= 27.5 Msymbol/s Roll-off factor, w= 0.35 (

47、35% cosine roll-off). Interfering digital signal: Symbol rate, Ri= 27.5 Msymbol/s Roll-off factor, i= 0.35 (35% cosine roll-off). Side lobe levels: First side lobe level, Ls1= 17.0 dB Second side lobe level, Ls2= 27.5 dB. Post-HPA filtering: Side lobe attenuation, Xf = 12.0 dB. 8 Rec. ITU-R BO.1293-
