1、 Rec. ITU-R RA.1631 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R RA.1631 Reference radio astronomy antenna pattern to be used for compatibility analyses between non-GSO systems and radio astronomy service stations based on the epfd concept (Question ITU-R 146/7) (2003) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a)

2、that there is a need to determine the levels of interference which may occur at typical observatory sites, due to various sources of interference; b) that, to determine these levels of interference, a reference antenna pattern needs to be defined; c) that Recommendation ITU-R SA.509 gives a referenc

3、e antenna pattern which represents the side-lobe gain levels that are not expected to be exceeded at most off-axis angles in the majority of antennas used in the service; d) that the antenna pattern given in Recommendation ITU-R SA.509 is appropriate in some compatibility or sharing analyses; e) tha
