10、95 92 Li855212 0520031 b1i8 M 162 Rec, 795 ANNEX 1 interference between cs-located satellites The most critical cases of feeder-link interference are for cross-polar channels transmitted to co-located satellites. For the case where co-located s?tellites use a common cross-polarized channel, a protec

11、tion ratio of 40 dB is needed. Discrimination of more than about 30 dB from the siitellite receiving antenna pattern requires geographical separation of feeder-link service arens. The discrimination is the difference in eo-polar gain towards points within the wanted service area and the cross-polar

12、gain towards tlie closest point in the interfering service area. Satellite antenna patterns are typically given as functions of cp/w where cp is the exocentrie angle between the on-axis direction and the direction of interest, and cpo is the 3 dB betamwidth of the satellite ,antenna. The discriminat

13、ion between wanted and interfering signals is then the difference between the gain towards the wanted feeder-link station nnd the gain at angle cp. If the maximum discrimination is taken to be the opposite of the on-axis gain, 40 dB discrimination at the edge of service area would require an on-axis

14、 gain of 43 dB and viilues of cplcp greater than 2. Satellite antenna gcains of 43 dB are not consistent with country-wide feeder-link service areas for many countries. Provisions for inhomogeneities in received signais due to rain attenuation and unequal transmit power levels would require even hig

15、her antenna gains. An on-axis gain of 49 dB (8.6 becamwidth) would provide, at best, a 6 dB margin for min attenuation. In considering the case where co-located satellites owrating on croas-poliinzed adjacent channels have common feeder-link service area, it is assumed that the discrimination capabi

16、lities are 25 dB for the satellite receiving antenna and 30 dB for the earth-station transmitting antenna. Since tlie two interferencc components may be in phase, voltage addition must be used to determine tlie interference level. In clear skies, the feeder-link C/l for an adjacent channel would be

17、21.1 dB. When the wanted feeder-link path is subjected to 10 dB rain attenuation, the feeder-link C/l drops to 11.1 dB. The protection ratio of 24 dB implied by the WARC-BS-77 cannot be achieved for this example, even under clear-sky conditions. One possible solution to the problem of adjacent chann

18、el interference ia to provide a slight separation between Co-located satellites. A study performed in Ganada showed tliat i111 improvement in isolation can be obtained in the case of two satellites tr,ansmitting cross-polarized adjacent chiuinels by separating these satellites by a fraction of a deg

19、ree such that they are seen as two distinct orbikd locations by the feeder-link transmitting antennas but as co- located by the smaller receiving antennas. This removes aimost completely the susceptibility of overall link adjacent channel C/l to rain fades on the feeder links at the cost of a small

20、gain loss at the receiving terminal. Figure 1 shows the results of a pariunctric study giving the overall adjacent channel C/I as a function of orbital separation and for different tr,ansmitting antenna sizes. The technical parameters adopted at rhe RARC SAT-83 including the transmit and receive ant

21、enna mispointings were used in this analysis. The figure also gives the variation in receiving antenna gain as a function of the orbital separation. It should bc notcd that 1 dB receiving gain loss due to mispointing is already taken into account in the ecuth-stntion G/Tcnlculation. The optimum orbi

22、tai separation is the point of bcst polarization discrimination for faded condition on the feeder link. This represents the best trade-off between feeder-link polcuization discrimination and down-link loss in gain. This optimum is found to be 0.4 for 5 m feeder-link transmitting antennas. This separ

23、ation was used in the development of the pkan for Region 2 at the RAEC SAT-83. The use of larger lmnsmitting antennas will shift this optimum to smaller orbitid separation (e.g. 8.3 for 8 m antennas and 0.27 for 11 m antennas). The WARC ORB-88 decided that administrations could place the satellites

24、of a same “group“ of satellites (Le, sharing the same nominal position in the Pican) at any position no further thnn 8.2 away from the nominal position, provided that the agreement of the otlier xlministrations on that orbital position is obtained. The advantage of this arrangement is that it permit

25、s additional discrimination between fecder links (large transmitting antennas) whilst for the purposes of reception of the down link (small iuitennas) these mellitca ctan still be considered as being at the same position.
