Annex 1 1 Introduction Congestion of the radio-frequency spectrum has made necessary the sharing of many frequency bands between different radio services, and between the different operators of similar radio services. In order to ensure the satisfactory coexistence of the terrestrial and Earth-sp

15、ace systems 2 Rec. ITU-R P.452-16 involved, it is important to be able to predict with reasonable accuracy the interference potential between them, using propagation predictions and models which are acceptable to all parties concerned, and which have demonstrated accuracy and reliability. Many types

16、 and combinations of interference path may exist between stations on the surface of the Earth, and between these stations and stations in space, and prediction methods are required for each situation. This Annex addresses one of the more important sets of interference problems, i.e. those situations

17、 where there is a potential for interference between radio stations located on the surface of the Earth. The models contained within Recommendation ITU-R P.452 work from the assumption that the interfering transmitter and the interfered-with receiver both operate within the surface layer of atmosphe

18、re. Use of exceptionally large antenna heights to model operations such as aeronautical systems is not appropriate for these models. The prediction procedure has been tested for radio stations operating in the frequency range of about 0.1 GHz to 50 GHz. The models within Recommendation ITU-R P.452 a

19、re designed to calculate propagation losses not exceeded for time percentages over the range 0.001 p 50%. This assumption does not imply the maximum loss will be at p = 50%. The method includes a complementary set of propagation models which ensure that the predictions embrace all the significant in

20、terference propagation mechanisms that can arise. Methods for analysing the radio-meteorological and topographical features of the path are provided so that predictions can be prepared for any practical interference path falling within the scope of the procedure up to a distance limit of 10 000 km.

21、2 Interference propagation mechanisms Interference may arise through a range of propagation mechanisms whose individual dominance depends on climate, radio frequency, time percentage of interest, distance and path topography. At any one time a single mechanism or more than one may be present. The pr

22、incipal interference propagation mechanisms are as follows: Line-of-sight (Fig. 1): The most straightforward interference propagation situation is when a line-of-sight transmission path exists under normal (i.e. well-mixed) atmospheric conditions. However, an additional complexity can come into play

23、 when subpath diffraction causes a slight increase in signal level above that normally expected. Also, on all but the shortest paths (i.e. paths longer than about 5 km) signal levels can often be significantly enhanced for short periods of time by multipath and focusing effects resulting from atmosp

24、heric stratification (see Fig. 2). Diffraction (Fig. 1): Beyond line-of-sight (LoS) and under normal conditions, diffraction effects generally dominate wherever significant signal levels are to be found. For services where anomalous short-term problems are not important, the accuracy to which diffra

25、ction can be modelled generally determines the density of systems that can be achieved. The diffraction prediction capability must have sufficient utility to cover smooth-earth, discrete obstacle and irregular (unstructured) terrain situations. Tropospheric scatter (Fig. 1): This mechanism defines t

26、he “background” interference level for longer paths (e.g. more than 100-150 km) where the diffraction field becomes very weak. However, except for a few special cases involving sensitive receivers or very high power interferers (e.g. radar systems), interference via troposcatter will be at too low a

27、 level to be significant. Rec.

Such signals can exceed the equivalent “free-space” level under certain conditions. FIGURE 2 Anomalous (short-term) interference propagation mechanisms P .04 52

30、few hundred metres is of major importance as these mechanisms enable signals to overcome the diffraction loss of the terrain very effectively under favourable path geometry situations. Again the impact can be significant over quite long distances (up to 250-300 km). 4 Rec. ITU-R P.452-16 Hydrometeor

31、 scatter (Fig. 2): Hydrometeor scatter can be a potential source of interference between terrestrial link transmitters and earth stations because it may act virtually omnidirectionally, and can therefore have an impact off the great-circle interference path. However, the interfering signal levels ar

32、e quite low and do not usually represent a significant problem. A basic problem in interference prediction (which is indeed common to all tropospheric prediction procedures) is the difficulty of providing a unified consistent set of practical methods covering a wide range of distances and time perce

33、ntages; i.e. for the real atmosphere in which the statistics of dominance by one mechanism merge gradually into another as meteorological and/or path conditions change. Especially in these transitional regions, a given level of signal may occur for a total time percentage which is the sum of those i

34、n different mechanisms. The approach in this procedure has been to define completely separate methods for clear-air and hydrometeor-scatter interference prediction, as described in 4 and 5 respectively. The clear-air method consists of separate models for diffraction, ducting/layer-reflection, and t

35、roposcatter. All three are applied for every case, irrespective of whether a path is LoS or transhorizon. The results are then combined into an overall prediction using a blending technique that ensures for any given path distance and time percentage that the signal enhancement in the equivalent not

36、ional line-of-sight model is the highest attainable. 3 Clear-air interference prediction 3.1 General comments Although the clear-air method is implemented by three separate models, the results of which are then blended, the procedure takes account of five basic types of propagation mechanism: line-o

37、f-sight (including signal enhancements due to multipath and focusing effects); diffraction (embracing smooth-earth, irregular terrain and sub-path cases); tropospheric scatter; anomalous propagation (ducting and layer reflection/refraction); height-gain variation in clutter (where relevant). 3.2 Der

38、iving a prediction 3.2.1 Outline of the procedure The steps required to achieve a prediction are as follows: Step 1: Input data The basic input data required for the procedure is given in Table 1. All other information required is derived from these basic data during the execution of the procedure.

The information is used in 4.2.2.1 in connection with equations (30a), (30b) and (31). Step 2: Selecting average year or worst-month prediction The choice of annual or “worst

42、-month” predictions is generally dictated by the quality (i.e. performance and availability) objectives of the interfered-with radio system at the receiving end of the interference path. As interference is often a bidirectional problem, two such sets of quality objectives may need to be evaluated in

43、 order to determine the worst-case direction upon which the minimum permissible basic transmission loss needs to be based. In the majority of cases the quality objectives will be couched in terms of a percentage “of any month”, and hence worst-month data will be needed. The propagation prediction mo

44、dels predict the annual distribution of basic transmission loss. For average year predictions the percentages of time p, for which particular values of basic transmission loss are not exceeded, are used directly in the prediction procedure. If average worst-month predictions are required, the annual

45、 equivalent time percentage, p, of the worst-month time percentage, pw, must be calculated for the path centre latitude using: %10 078.0816.0 444.0186.0)l o g ()l o g ( Lw Gpp (1) where: : fraction of the path over water (see Table 3). 45fo r2c o s1.145fo r2c o s1.17.07.0LG (1a) If necessary the val

The value of 0 to be used is that appropriate to the path centre latitude. N0 (N-units), the sea-level surface refractivity, is used only by the troposcatter model as a measure of location variability of the troposcatter scatter mechanism.
