7、R RS.1628 Annex 1 Compatibility of spaceborne active sensors with radiolocation systems operating in the 35.5-36 GHz band 1 Introduction The frequency band 35.5-36 GHz is allocated to the EESS (active), space research (active), radiolocation and meteorological aids services on a primary basis. Altho

8、ugh the 35.5-36 GHz band is allocated for meteorological aids, there is no known use of the band by this service. ITU-R studies have shown that sharing between spaceborne active sensors and radiolocation systems in the band 35.5-36 GHz is feasible. This Recommendation presents the results of simulat

9、ions to evaluate the levels of potential interference between spaceborne active sensors and radiolocation stations in the 35.5-36 GHz band. 2 Approach 2.1 Overview A dynamic interference model was developed using a commercial interference simulation tool. Interference statistics were collected for i

10、nterference from spaceborne active sensors into radiolocation systems and from radiolocation systems into spaceborne active sensors. 2.2 Spaceborne active sensor models Table 1 lists the parameters of the spaceborne active sensors included in the simulations. These sensors include altimeters and pre

11、cipitation radars that are planned to be implemented in constellations of three to nine satellites. For the purposes of these simulations, a Walker delta pattern was assumed for each active sensor constellation with the parameters listed in Table 1. In the absence of specific antenna side-lobe patte

12、rns for any of the active sensors, the antenna beam for each sensor was modelled using a parabolic antenna beam with a peak gain and 3 dB beamwidth as specified in Table 1. The antenna side-lobe patterns were modelled by a capped Bessel function which simulated an envelope of the antenna side-lobe p

13、eaks calculated for the standard circular aperture model using the following formula: 212)sin()sin(2)(=DDJDG A gain floor was set at 10 dBi for each antenna pattern. Rec.

In the absence of a reference antenna pattern for radiolocation stations in this band, the same capped Bessel

15、function pattern and 10 dBi gain floor was used for the radiolocation stations as was used with the spaceborne active sensors. For the cases where the antenna beam was elliptical (e.g. the imager systems), the capped Bessel function was ellipticized to achieve the desired beamwidths across the princ

Should this parameter be considered, an additional 5 to 10 dB margin should be added to the margin found in 3. 3 Analysis results 3.1 P-P fixed service systems Simulations were performed for one single

34、ns have been performed and have shown that there is no problem of sharing between the fixed service and the EESS (active) and SRS (active) in the 35.5-36 GHz band. Simulation results show: a minimum 20 dB margin between the maximum interference and the protection criterion in a P-P receiver; a minim

35、um 15 dB margin between the maximum interference and the protection criterion in a P-MP receiver. This margin should again be increased by 10 log (d.c.), where d.c. is the duty cycle of spaceborne precipitation radars. In view of these margins, there is no need to impose any constraint to the EESS (active) or SRS (active) for the protection of the fixed service in the 35.5-36 GHz band.
