9、 of the 8 025-8 400 MHz band by Earth exploration-satellite service (EESS) satellites operated by various entities for data downlink operations is increasing and could result in harmful interference between these operators. Potential difficulties in sharing the heavily occupied 8 GHz spectrum may be

10、 avoided, if EESS satellite designers carefully select which of the mitigation methods are appropriate for the satellites intended operations. In addition to improving the sharing conditions for EESS satellites, many of the mitigation methods can also be beneficial in reducing or eliminating potenti

This Recommendation provides guidance in the form of a list of possible mitigation methods, shown in recommends, for consideration to reduce the potential for interference

Keywords Earth Exploration-Satellite Service, system design Related Recommendations and Reports Recommendation ITU-R SA.1157 The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that Earth explor

14、erence among EESS systems; c) that proper selection of orbital parameters for sun-synchronous satellites can be a very effective interference mitigation technique which in general requires coordination at an early stage of system development; d) that homogeneity among a set of technical parameters,

15、and in particular power flux-density (pfd) levels, will lead to a more efficient use of the orbit/spectrum resource by the EESS; e) that high-gain antennas on EESS satellites typically radiate power only towards a limited portion of the Earths surface but the higher obtained e.i.r.p. may be a disadv

ITU-R SA.1810-1 h) that more than 90% of all EESS satellites operate at pfd levels below 147dB(W/m2 4 kHz) for high angles of arrival at the surface of the Earth; i) that the interference risk is more significant in high latitude

18、areas since most of Earth exploration-satellites use polar orbits; j) that tropospheric propagation effects in high latitude areas are generally limited; k) that proper selection of bandwidth/power efficient modulation and coding techniques could result in smaller occupied bandwidths and lower adjac

19、ent channel interference; l) that higher order advanced modulation schemes, such as 16 PSK and above, need less bandwidth than currently used QPSK and 8-PSK but generally require higher pfds; m) that a number of other interference mitigation techniques such as polarization discrimination, earth stat

20、ion separation and earth station antenna discrimination may also result in lower interference levels; n) that receiving earth stations in the space research service (SRS) (deep-space), operated in the adjacent 8 400-8 450 MHz band, are extremely sensitive and potentially susceptible to interference

21、from out-of-band emissions of EESS (space-to-Earth) satellite transmissions in the 8 025-8 400 MHz band; o) that time-critical events occur in both SRS (deep-space) and EESS operations; p) that most of the mitigation techniques proposed to reduce interference between EESS data transmission links als

23、s for EESS (space-to-Earth) operations in the 8 025-8 400 MHz band are desirable to maximize the capacity of the band and to minimize harmful interference; c) that different mitigation methods may be required to resolve potential difficulties in the sharing of the band 8 025-8 400 MHz by different c

24、ombinations of EESS systems, recommends that the following guidelines should be considered when designing EESS systems operating in the 8 025-8 400 MHz band: 1 that EESS satellites operating in a non-broadcasting mode should radiate only when transmitting data to one or more earth stations; 2 that p

25、hasing of the orbital parameters for sun-synchronous satellites with existing and planned satellites should be considered; 3 that, whenever practicable, low side-lobe, high-gain satellite antennas should be used and if not practicable, isoflux antennas should be considered instead of omnidirectional

26、 antennas; 4 that broadcast modes should be avoided whenever practicable or, if unavoidable, the use of a portion of the lower half of the band 8 025-8 400 MHz be considered; 5 that bandwidth efficient modulation and coding techniques should be used to the extent practicable, to reduce the potential

27、 for adjacent channel interference by simultaneously limiting pfd, out-of-band emissions and occupied bandwidth; Rec. ITU-R SA.1810-1 3 6 that, to reduce the possibility of intersystem interference, due consideration should also be given to other interference mitigation techniques such as polarizati
