37、ime. 3 Assumed characteristics of interfering geostationary systems Relevant link budget characteristics for some potential geostationary systems are shown in Table 3. GSO-1 is representative for the Alpha-Sat mission with a channel bandwidth of 405 MHz. The satellite design is based on a 0.7 m para

38、bolic antenna. For the simulations, an earth station in Madrid has been assumed as a worst case. GSO-1 is expected to be quite representative for several types of geostationary systems planned for deployment in this band. GSO-2 is a hypothetical system and could be representative for a low elevation

39、 system with high availability for a dedicated earth station. The satellite was assumed at a GSO position of 48 E. The elevation angle towards central Spain is 20. GSO-3 may be representative for a high availability system with several smaller earth stations within a subregion. An example could be a

40、 system transmitting to a number of direct data read-out stations. GSO-3 was assumed at 14 E serving a number of smaller user stations in Spain. Even with a 1.4 m on-board parabolic antenna, the main beam covers a rather large region, as shown in Fig. 2. Similar situations may be found with other se

43、55FIGURE 2Footprint contours towards Madrid, for a geostationary satellite at 14 E4 Assessment of interference to SRS missions One approach, based on an I/N criterion, is typically used to determine if intersystem interference will result in unacceptable interference to any of the available SRS or E

44、ESS systems. Based on Recommendation ITU-R SA.609, the received interference level from all sources should not exceed the following aggregate level: I0/N0not to exceed 6 dB more than 0.1% of the time. This analysis moved beyond the basic I0/N0interference criterion and took into account the relative

45、ly large link margins that many of the SRS and EESS systems have. It looked at the degraded link margin, denoted simply by “margin”: Margin = C0/(N0+ I0)measured C0/N0requiredThe basic criterion for determining whether interference is within acceptable levels was the following: Margin not to fall be

46、low dB more than 0.1% of the time where is a value that is discussed below. A possible value for would be 0, as this is the level below which the link could not be closed. However, it was not considered to be prudent to allow the entire link margin to be consumed by interference from other non-GSO o

47、r GSO systems, so may in fact be a value greater than 0. It should be emphasized that use of this type of interference criterion allows the study to move beyond the traditional I/N interference analysis approach to analyse the degradation to the systems link margins. Some key assumptions used for th

48、e simulation were that victim and interfering sources are assumed to operate using the same centre frequency. Furthermore, the interferers total power is averaged Rec. ITU-R SA.1862 7over its bandwidth, and 3 dB is added to account for the peak density, assuming PSK modulation. High-gain satellite a

49、ntenna patterns follow the reference radiation pattern of Recommendation ITU-R S.672. Earth station antenna patterns follow the pattern in Recommendation ITU-R F.1245. Robledo and Cebreros are two locations in central Spain which support sensitive SRS missions, such as to Lagrangian points or, potentially, to the moon. In view of the long distances to L1 and L2, the power flux-density of the received signals is rather low, requiring large earth stations up to 35 m with a high G/T. As far as interference statistics are concerned, all earth stat
