16、noise budget According to Recommendation -R S.523 which deals with permissible interference level in digital satellite transmission, 20% of the total noise power at the demodulator input is allocated to the interference caused by other networks in frequency bands in which the networks practice frequ

17、ency re-use. Also, 6% of the total noise power is allocated for the single entry interference. While the off-axis emissions from earth stations cause up-link interference to the adjacent satellites, the emissions from the adjacent satellites cause down-link interference to the receiving earth statio

18、ns. Therefore, the single entry allocation of 6% should be further divided into up-link and down-link interference. The antenna diameter of the receiving earth station affects the division. If it is larger, the down-link interference becomes less because of its better off-axis isolation, while the u

19、p-link interference becomes severer because the total system thermal noise decreases due to increased earth-station GR.

20、n considering the off-axis e.i.r.p. limit of VSATs, it may be appropriate to assume that the antenna diameter of the receiving earth station of the interfered network is around 5 m. In this case the budget for the single entry down-link interference can be assumed as less than 1% considering the off

21、-axis gain performance of the antenna. Then the budget for the single entry up-link interference can be assumed as 5%. Further, the total system noise budget can be assumed as follows: Thermal noise (up link + down link) Interference from other satellite networks 50% 20% (Recommendation -R S.523) In

22、terference due to cross-polarization 5% Intermodulation noise due to transponder Therefore, the ratio of 5%/50% can be used in comparing the up-link single entry interference power density with the thermal noise density. 25% 2 In calculating the system total thermal noise, both the up-link and the d

23、own-link thermal noise should be considered. The up-link carrier-to-noise density ratio (c/No)u, the down-link carrier-to-noise density ratio (C/NO)D and the total carrier- to-noise density ratio (C/NO)T can be calculated as follows: Derivation of system total thermal noise (C/No)u = e.i.r.p.g - Lu

28、“(- (G/T)s / 10) + lo“(- (GIT)EE / 10) then the down link C/NO and the total C/No can be expressed as: (C/NO)D = e.i.r.p.E - Lu - LUA - LUR + (G/T)EE + 228.6 (C/NO)T = e.i.r.p.E - Lu - LUA - LUR + (G/T)T + 228.6 3 Derivation of permissible off-axis e.i.r.p. density It is assumed that the off-axis e.

29、i.r.p. density from the interfering VSAT is expressed as E - 25 log (p CLB(W/40 kHz). Then the up-link carrier-to-interference density ratio in 40 kHz bandwidth can be expressed as follows: ClIo = e.i.r.p.E - LUR - (E- 25 log cp) (9) Note that it is assumed only the wanted signal suffers the up-link

30、 rain fade. Then the interference to thermal noise ratio in 40 kHz bandwidth can be derived as: = (E- 25 lg p) - Lu - LUA + (G/T)T + 228.6 - 10 log B where B = 40 kHz. As described in 0 1, the value of Zo/No should be less than 5%/50% to satisfy the single entry interference criteria. Then the permi

31、ssible value of E can be derived as: E = lo/No + 25 lg cp + Lu + LUA - (G/T)T - 228.6 + 10 lg B (1 1) In the case when the up-link frequency is 14 GHz: E = 25 lg p - (G/T)T + 14.5 + LUA (12) Note that the up-link rain fade does not affect the interference to noise ratio. However, the effect of the d

32、own-link rain fade should be taken into account in the calculation of (G/T)r because the interference budget is defined as a portion of the total noise power which would give rise to a bit error ratio of 1 in lo6 and usually the system is designed so that the bit error ratio of 1 in lo6 can be achie

33、ved even during the fade condition.

34、erived by the expressions in the previous section. However, it should be checked if VSAT systems can operate with good performance even under that condition. If it is assumed that the transmit antenna gain of the VSAT earth station is GT, and that the side-lobe performance of the antenna can be expr

35、essed by 29 - 25 log p. then the e.i.r.p. of the VSAT, e.i.r.p.E, in 40 kHz bandwidth can be expressed as: e.i.r.p.E = E - 29 + GT (13) Then, from expression (8). the carrier power density-to-thermal noise density ratio can be derived as: (CO/NO)T = E - 29 + GT - Lu - LUA - LUR + (G/T)T + 228.6 - 10

ANNEX 2 Ultra small aperture terminal antenna characteristics 1 Introduction With the recent introduction of FSS space stations with substantial transmission power capabilities, it has become possible to use “ultra-small aperture ter

44、minals (USATs)” for applications formerly relegated to “very small aperture terminals (VSATs)”. However, these USATs have large or wide main beams which, when transmitting in the Earth-to-space direction, could impinge upon adjacent space stations in the GSO. Likewise, Co-frequency, Co-coverage tran

45、smissions from space stations adjacent to the wanted space sation could introduce high levels of interference into these USAT networks. The resultant increase in interference between neighbouring FSS networks will have a negative effect on the communication capacity of the existing GSO/spectnim reso

46、urces. Thus it is necessary to constrain the interference potential of USAT networks, particularly in the magnitude of uplink off-axis e.i.r.p. densities.
