Annex Technical and operational characteristics of and protection criteria for aeronautical mobile service systems operating in the frequency bands 22.5-23.6 GHz and 25.25-27.5 GHz 1 Introduction Systems and networks operating in the aeronautical mobile ser
20、vice (AMS) are used for broadband and narrow-band airborne data links to support scientific research, remote sensing, fire-fighting, land and crop surveying, pipeline monitoring, and emergency management applications. The broadband data links are used to transmit data collected from one or multiple
21、research/remote sensing equipment on the aircraft, and the narrow-band data links are used to control this remote sensing equipment on-board the aircraft. 2 Operational deployment In the frequency bands 22.5-23.6 GHz and 25.25-27.5 GHz, the mobile service is allocated on a primary basis in all three
22、 ITU-R Regions. The AMS is a mobile service between aeronautical stations and aircraft stations, or between aircraft stations. Platforms equipped with AMS data links (ADL) can be deployed anywhere within a country whose administration has authorized their use in accordance with the authorization. An
23、 ADL may exist between an airborne data terminal (ADT), which is an aircraft station, and a ground data terminal (GDT), which is an aeronautical station, or between two ADTs. Rec. ITU-R M.2114-0 3 The GDT may be at a single permanent location or they may be transportable. Transportable GDTs can be m
24、oved to meet operational needs. The duration that a transportable GDT remains at a particular location is dependent upon operational requirements. The link distance for the ADL is generally limited by the radio-line-of-sight (RLOS) horizon which is a function of the terrain in the vicinity of the GD
25、T and the altitude of the ADT. The operational altitude of airborne platforms equipped with these ADLs depends on specific operational requirements and can be up to approximately 20 km. Although some of the link lengths may be relatively short, many of the link distances approach RLOS horizon distan
26、ce. For an air-to-ground link, the link distance may be approximately 450 km. The link between two ADTs operates in similar manner as the link between a GDT and an ADT with the exception that the link distance is a function of the operating altitude of the two ADTs. In the case of a direct air-to-ai
27、r link, this link distance may be up to 900 km. Other factors to consider, such as atmospheric losses (rain attenuation, gases, etc.) and clutter losses, as described in the relevant ITU-R Recommendations P-Series, could reduce the maximum distance of the link between two aircraft. Depending on the
28、environmental conditions and locations of the aircraft, the crosslink distance might be shorter than 900 km. A single GDT may support several ADT via different links. If the ADLs are operating in a narrow-band mode, multiple data links may be supported through frequency separation. If the data links
29、 are operating in a wide band mode, multiple data links may be supported through geographic separation using multiple high-gain, narrow-beam antennas. An ADT may serve as a node within a larger network or as a repeater to extend the range between the data-collection ADT and the data-receiving GDT. I
30、n this case, the ADT may have two or more ADLs between either two ADTs or between one ADT and one GDT. The temporal duration of the link can span the entire flight duration, i.e. take off/landing, transit to/from the operational area, and the time used for data collection in the operational area. Th
31、us, the time duration during which an ADL can be active may extend for many hours. 3 Technical characteristics of aeronautical mobile systems Representative technical characteristics for airborne data links in the AMS for the frequency bands 22.5-23.6 GHz and 25.25-27.5 GHz are provided in Table 1.
32、3.1 Transmitter characteristics The aeronautical mobile systems operating or planned to operate in the frequency bands 22.5-23.6 GHz and 25.25-27.5 GHz typically use digital modulations. A given transmitter may be capable of radiating more than one waveform. Solid-state power amplifier output device
33、s are typically used in the transmitters. The trend towards use of solid-state transmitters in new mobile systems will continue for the foreseeable future due to the wide bandwidth, low level of generated spurious emissions, low power consumption, and reliability of these devices. Typical transmitte
34、r radio frequency emission (3 dB) bandwidths of mobile systems operating or planned to operate in the frequency bands 22.5-23.6 GHz and 25.25-27.5 GHz range from about 143 to 865 MHz. Transmitter peak output powers range from 0.1 W (20 dBm) to 60 W (48 dBm). However, the maximum power level at the i
35、nput to the antenna is limited to 10 watts in the 25.25-27.5 GHz frequency range by RR No. 21.5, and the equivalent isotropically radiated power is limited to 24 dBW (in any 1 MHz band) in the 25.25-27.5 GHz frequency range when the direction of maximum radiation of the antenna is within 1.5 degrees
36、 of the geostationary-satellite orbit by RR No. 21.2. 4 Rec. ITU-R M.2114-0 3.2 Receiver characteristics The aeronautical mobile systems in the frequency bands 22.5-23.6 GHz and 25.25-27.5 GHz use digital signal processing to enhance system performance. The signal processing in the newer generation
37、of aeronautical mobile systems may use direct sequence spread spectrum or other advanced techniques to produce a processing gain for the desired signal and may also provide suppression of undesired signals. 3.3 Antenna characteristics A variety of different types of antennas may be used by systems i
38、n the frequency bands 22.5-23.6 GHz and 25.25-27.5 GHz. The antennas gain is typically in the range 33-46 dBi. Horizontal, vertical, and circular polarizations are used. If antenna characteristics provided in Table 1 are sufficient, these characteristics should be used in sharing analyses. If additi
39、onal characteristics are required, the first source of the data should be measured antenna characteristics. Otherwise the antenna data in Table 1 in conjunction with Recommendation ITU-R M.1851 should be used. 4 Protection criteria for the aeronautical mobile service in the frequency bands 22.5-23.6
40、 GHz and 25.25-27.5 GHz The performance of the communication link is often noise limited. An increase in receiver effective noise of 1 dB would constitute significant degradation in the communication range, equivalent to a reduction in communication range of approximately 10% in a free-space propaga
41、tion environment. An increase of 1 dB in the effective receiver noise level corresponds to an (I + N)/N ratio of 1.26, or an I/N ratio of about 6 dB. Given the decrease in AMS range and increase in probability of bit error rate performance due to an increase in effective receiver noise level of 1 dB
42、, the I/N = 6 dB value represents the required protection criterion for the AMS from interference due to another radiocommunication service. If multiple potential interference sources are present, protection of the AMS requires that this criterion is not exceeded due to the aggregate interference fr
43、om the multiple sources. Rec.
