15、ndwidth requirements. 2.1 Data relay satellite networks 2.1.1 Use of the 13.75-14 GHz band In 1983, the United States of America launched the first satellite in its global tracking and data relay satellite system (TDRSS) data relay satellite network. TDRSS relays commands, scientific data and spacec

16、raft health and safety information for a number of NASA low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites such as the International Space Station, space shuttle, Landsat as well as a number of non-NASA flight missions, including international or joint venture missions. The TDRSS network uses frequencies around 2 GHz

17、, 13/15 GHz and 23/26 GHz to operate and to receive data from low-orbiting satellites. The 13/15 GHz bands are also used for feeder links for the geostationary TDRSS network. Operational tracking and data relay satellites (TDRS) are located at the orbital positions: 41, 46, 171 and 174 W longitude o

18、n the geostationary orbit. The forward link from the TDRS to a LEO spacecraft, relaying critical command, control and ranging data, is centred at 13.775 GHz in the lower portion of the band 13.75-14 GHz. Furthermore, the 13.75-14 GHz band is one segment of several allocations to the space research s

19、ervice between 13.4 and 15.35 GHz that are extensively used for forward and return links to low-Earth orbiting satellites and for feeder links to connect TDRS satellites to their earth stations. This extensive use is evident in the frequency plan for the TDRSS data relay satellite network shown in F

20、ig. 1, particularly between 13.4-14.05 GHz and 14.6-15.225 GHz. This use is the culmination of substantial investments that have been made in system trade-off studies, the development and qualification of space hardware, and the development and implementation of satellite systems and earth stations

The top portion of this figure shows the links between the TDRS and the LEO satellites in the 13.75-14.0 G

24、Hz band. The forward service links (two independent links per TDRS spacecraft) from the TDRS to low-Earth orbit satellites are used for command, control and ranging and for transmission of data and video. The forward link design is capable of supporting a 25 MSymbol/s transmission rate at a centre f

25、requency of 13.775 GHz. The bandwidth is typically 6 MHz in the case of command and control data, where in most cases the low-rate information data is spread with a 3.08 Mchip/s pseudo-random noise (PN) code. However, in the case of the International Space Station, a bandwidth of 10 MHz is the minim

26、um required to provide for the high-speed TCP/IP data protocols needed for payload telescience, payload management and additional Earth-to-space voice transmission capability effected via the TDRSS network. A 50 MHz bandwidth is required for sending higher rate data to a spacecraft or high resolutio

27、n digital video information to the space shuttle or space station for tele-science and tele-medicine. Reliable transmissions of commands in the 10 MHz around 13.775 MHz are the most critical. The bottom portion of Fig. 1 shows a feeder link used to transmit wideband signals received by the TDRS from

28、 LEO satellites to the TDRSS data relay satellite network earth station. The signals consist primarily of scientific data and spacecraft telemetry. The bandwidth of this link may be up to 225 MHz centred around 13.9 GHz. 2.2 Summary and conclusions This section has addressed the use and bandwidth re

29、quirements of the TDRSS network within the 13.75-14 GHz band. Based on studies within ITU-R, the following are concluded for data relay satellite networks: a comprehensive frequency plan delineates the use of segments of the spectrum extending from 13.4 GHz to 15.225 GHz for service links to low-orb

30、iting satellites and for feeder links to centrally located earth stations; the primary command and control link from the tracking and data relay satellite (TDRS) to the International Space Station is centred at 13.775 GHz with a bandwidth of 10 MHz; an important forward link to low-orbiting satellit

31、es operates with a centre frequency of 13.775 GHz and a bandwidth that can range from 6 MHz to 50 MHz depending on the application; 3 Permissible levels of interference in data relay satellite systems that use the 13.75-14 GHz band This section presents criteria for protection of data relay satellit

32、e systems operating in the 13.75-14 GHz band from Earth-to-space links operating in the FSS. The criteria consist of a permissible level of interference signal power in a specified reference bandwidth at the output of the receiving antenna that is not to be exceeded for more than a specified percent

33、age of time and locations. The largest possible reference bandwidths are specified in order to enable the greatest possible sharing benefit from averaging interfering signal power over bandwidth. 3.1 Protection criteria for data relay satellite systems Recommendation ITU-R SA.1155 gives the permissi

34、ble level of degradation to a data relay satellite link as a 0.4 dB reduction in link power margin, which occurs with an I/N of 10 dB. From this, an aggregate protection criteria of 178 dB(W/kHz) measured at the input to the victim receiver to be exceeded no more than 0.1% of the time is derived. Th

35、is is equivalent to 138 dB(W/10 MHz). The I/N criterion of 10 dB is applicable over a bandwidth of 10 MHz centred at 13.775 GHz, Rep. ITU-R SA.2067 5 although operations can extend over a bandwidth of up to 50 MHz centred at the same frequency. In order to achieve the desired link availabilities, th

36、e interference threshold should not be exceeded for more than 0.1% of the time as a result of the emissions of FSS earth stations in the Earth-to-space direction. The 0.1% of the time is based on the orbital period of the low-orbiting satellites as given in Recommendation ITU-R SA.1155. 3.2 Characte

38、racteristics. 3.2.1 FSS earth station characteristics Table 1 is a summary of the characteristics of the FSS earth station populations used in the simulations described within this section. The FSS earth station antenna pattern given in Recommendation ITU-R S.465-5 was used for the analysis presente

39、d in this section. A limited set of simulations were performed comparing results derived from the use of Recommendation ITU-R S.465-5 and Recommendation ITU-R S.1428 and it was found that the difference was less than 1 dB.

42、apart in the geostationary orbit, was used in the analysis. The 4.5 m FSS Gateway earth station distribution is based on the locations of Urban Population Center (UPC) around the world. The UPCs are obtained from the “Urban Agglomerations, 1950-2015, United Nation Population Division, NY, USA”. All

43、the selected UPCs are projected to have a population of one million or more by the year 2015. A total of 326 UPCs were identified. Each satellite will be capable of supporting two links in the same channel using orthogonal polarizations. A total of 240 cities were selected from the urban agglomerati

44、ons. The cities were selected based on the satellite capacity and that the elevation angle to the satellite was greater than 20. The resultant distribution of earth stations is shown in Fig. 2. 6 Rep. ITU-R SA.2067 FIGURE 2 Worldwide distribution of 4.5 m ground stations The FSS earth stations were

45、randomly distributed worldwide based on the population in each continent. The FSS earth stations were randomly allocated to satellites in the geosynchronous arc for which the elevation angle exceeded 20. For each FSS earth station, a satellite with free channels was randomly selected from this group

46、 of satellites. The azimuth and elevation angle for the FSS earth station antenna was computed for the selected satellite. In densely populated areas such as Europe the total number of ground stations exceeds the total number of satellites in the visible arc. Some of the ground stations were not ass

47、igned a satellite and were removed from the analysis. Similarly, satellites above the oceans did not have sufficient ground stations to fill them to capacity. Consequently, those satellites were not fully utilized. Table 2 shows the maximum channel capacity and utilizations of the GSO satellites sup
