2、he aeronautical mobile service (AMS) to support telemetry (2007) Scope This Recommendation provides the method for determining the necessary geographical separation distances between international-standard MLS stations operating in the 5 GHz band and telemetry receivers. The ITU Radiocommunication A

3、ssembly, considering a) that the band 5 030-5 150 MHz is allocated to the aeronautical radionavigation service on a primary basis; b) that future new systems might cause interference to MLS receivers during approach and landing if sufficient sharing studies are not conducted; c) that the MLS can be

4、protected through the implementation of an adequate separation distance between a radiating aeronautical mobile service (AMS) transmitter to support telemetry and MLS receivers; d) that WRC-03 has adopted Resolution 230 (WRC-03) to conduct technical, operational and regulatory studies to develop the

5、 necessary frequencies for the future aeronautical telemetry links, recognizing a) that the methods contained herein are based on current specifications for international- standard MLS receiving equipment; b) that No. 4.10 of the Radio Regulations (RR) requires special measures for the protection of

6、 radionavigation and safety services; c) that the band 5 030-5 150 MHz is to be used for the operation of the international standard microwave landing system (MLS) for precision approach and landing; the requirements for this system shall take precedence over other uses of this band in accordance wi

7、th RR No. 5.444, recommends 1 that the method described in Annex 1, for determining the necessary geographical separation distances R minbetween international-standard MLS stations operating in the 5 GHz band and telemetry transmitters should be used. 2 Rec.

9、hich item of the MLS system is considered to be protected. what is the source of potential interference from flight testing telemetry transmitters. how the MLS receiver in the landing approach should be protected. what the assumptions taken for the MLS antenna gain are toward the ground MLS station

10、and the interfering telemetry station, respectively. FIGURE 1 Worst-case scenario Rec. ITU-R M.1829 3 The maximum ground projection distance between the ground MLS station and the MLS receiver is d MLS= 43 km. The purpose of this Annex is to provide a methodology to compute the ground projection dis

11、tance R minbetween the telemetry station and the ground MLS stations which will ensure that all MLS stations located in the ground MLS station operational area will be protected. This methodology can be used by administrations when bilaterally coordination is necessary. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the

12、 landing aircraft with the MLS receiver is inside the smaller cylinder (located inside the larger cylinder) which has a radius of 43 km and a maximum height above ground of 6 000 m (identified by ICAO as 20 000 ft). The outer or larger cylinder, unlimited in altitude, is the volume determined by the

13、 minimum distance d min . Any telemetry stations outside this volume will not cause harmful interference into MLS receivers located in the ground MLS operational area. This annex sets forth a method for determining minimum separation distances relative (deducted from maximum input interfering powers

14、) to current and planned MLS stations. Range-separation may be defined as a result of specifications for MLS interference susceptibility criteria which correspond to a power level before the MLS antenna, given in the MLS receiver bandwidth. Therefore the following condition should always be verified

ITU-R M.1829 where: f t: telemetry centre frequency f r: MLS receiver tuned frequency. From equation

19、(1) the minimum ground projection distance between the telemetry transmitters and the MLS receivers is given by the following equation (d minis expressed in km): Pr FDR Gt Pt d min = 000 1 4 ) km (3) The protection distance (minimum horizontal separation distance between the MLS ground transmitter a

20、nd the telemetry transmitter) is defined as follows: MLS MLS min min d Pr FDR Gt Pt d d R + = + = 000 1 4 ) km (4) where d MLS represents the coverage area of the MLS station (see Fig. 1). It must be noted at this level that the atmospheric attenuation is not taken into consideration. Therefore, the operation of the equipment considered for the calculation at a greater distance than one which was calculated offers the guaranty of no prejudicial interference. This protection distance may be adjusted on a case-by-case basis, as the result of agreement between the administrations concerned.
