15、 hops can tolerate additional performancedegradation, pfd values somewhat higher than those given in recommends 1 may be able to be tolerated (see Note 3);3 that, for FS systems that need to conform to performance and availability objectives for individual links(e.g. for customer or local grade syst

16、ems), pfd values somewhat lower than those given in recommends 1 may berequired to provide adequate protection (see Note 3);4 that the following Notes should form part of this Recommendation:NOTE 1 The pfd thresholds specified in recommends 1 pertain to situations where there is any overlap between

17、thenecessary bandwidths of the subject frequency assignments.NOTE 2 This Recommendation provides guidance on pfd coordination thresholds derived from a wide range of FSsystem parameters. It represents a compromise between the need to ensure adequate protection for existing and plannedFS stations and

18、 the desire to facilitate sharing of the band with BSS (sound) systems.NOTE 3 In the cases of recommends 2 and 3, administrations may determine the appropriate pfd levels at which toinitiate coordination.NOTE 4 Annex 1 provides guidance concerning additional technical and operational considerations

Many are mature systems which have been designed to takeadvantage of known topographical features, equipment parameters and propagation characterist

The followingsystem parameters or mitigation techniques should be reviewed and used to the extent practical towards achievingsuccessful coordination, especially in the planning and implementation of new systems in the fixed service.Rec. ITU-R F.1338 31 Antenna considerations1.1 Antenna orientat

22、ion1.1.1 Existing stationsIn the establishment of the coordination threshold levels in this Recommendation, the orientation of the receivingantennas with respect to the interfering satellites is not specifically taken into account. In detailed coordination, thisfactor may provide additional signific

23、ant protection for some receiving stations in the FS.1.1.2 New stationsIn the case of receiving omnidirectional antennas of P-MP central stations, improved side-lobe discrimination maycontribute to a reduction of BSS interference.In the case of directional (e.g. parabolic) FS receive antennas, it sh

24、ould be noted that, where practicable, the use ofantennas with larger gain will contribute to the reduction of fade margin loss due to BSS interference. In addition, whenthe direction towards a BSS space station is somewhat different from the direction of the desired signal, a certain degreesoffset

25、of the antenna direction away from the direction towards the BSS space station may contribute to the reduction offade margin loss due to BSS interference. An optimum offset angle will depend on the antenna pattern, separation angleand BSS interference level. This improvement will become greater if c

26、oupled with the use of an antenna withlarger gain.Annex 2 to Recommendation ITU-R F.1249 can be used for estimating the separation angle between the FS antennadirection and the direction towards the BSS space station taking into account atmospheric refraction.1.2 Orbital avoidance by planned station

27、sDiscrimination can be achieved by ensuring that substantial off-axis angles are provided between the received antennaboresights of future fixed stations and the geostationary-satellite orbit.1.3 Polarization discriminationIn situations where the antennas of fixed systems use different polarizations

28、 (e.g. linear) than those employed by BSS(sound) systems (i.e. circular), polarization discrimination (up to 3 dB) may be available in the case of mainbeam-to-mainbeam coupling of the FS antenna and the BSS space station antenna (see Recommendation ITU-R F.1245).2 Receiver/transmitter considerations

29、2.1 Frequency offsetDiscrimination can be obtained by offsetting channel frequencies of receiving fixed stations and transmitting BSS(sound) space stations, including minor changes to channel allocation consistent with the channel plans of the FS.Interference may be at acceptable levels in cases whe

30、re the necessary bandwidths of the BSS (sound) space station andfixed station assignments do not overlap. It should be noted that frequency offset is not effective when either the BSS(sound) or FS signal passband characteristics are relatively flat.2.2 Additional allowance for interferenceIn probabi

31、listic sharing studies for the determination of coordination threshold level given in recommends 1, anallowance of 1 dB has been assumed for a reduction in the fade margin, which has a corresponding impact on systemavailability and performance of FS systems (but this matter requires further study). However, improved sharing and asuccessful coordination may be obtained at the expense of fade margin by increasing the allowance for interference fromBSS (sound) space stations, and taking into account all factors contributing to the total or overall system availability.
