26、onclusions 13 1 Introduction An important parameter for all radiocommunication services is the percentage of time lost to interference. Administrations may need quantitative criteria relative to radio astronomy operations with active services operating in the same, adjacent, nearby, or harmonically

27、related bands. For example, Recommendation ITU-R M.1316 uses this percentage of time lost to interference in the calculation of the separation distance by default between stations operating in the MSS (Earth-to-space) and a radio astronomy observatory, by using the Monte Carlo methodology. Existing

28、limits to the aggregate time losses tolerated by various other science services are given in Table 1, for comparison. TABLE 1 Example of criteria for aggregate percentage of time of data loss use for other science services Radio telescopes are designed to operate continuously, following a schedule o

29、f observing programs requested by astronomers. As a rule, access to radio telescopes is on a competitive basis, with research proposals often exceeding available telescope time by a factor of 2-3. Virtually all radio astronomy installations are operated out of public funds, and must be used very eff

30、iciently. Some loss of observing time resulting from maintenance or upgrading of hardware or software, however, cannot be avoided. Experience over many years of operation with major instruments by one Earth exploration-satellite service (EESS) (passive sensors) (%) (Recommendation ITU-R SA.1029-2):

31、3-D atmospheric sounding All other sensors 0.01 1.0-5.0 Command and data transmission systems operating in the earth exploration-satellite and meteorological-satellite services (%) (Recommendation ITU-R SA.514-3) 0.1-1.0 EES and MetSat services using spacecraft in geostationary orbit (%) (Recommenda

32、tion ITU-R SA.1161-1) 0.0025-0.1 Space operations systems S/N 20 dB for 99% of time (%) (Recommendation ITU-R SA.363-5) 1.0 4 Rec. ITU-R RA.1513-2 administration shows that such losses need not exceed 5% of time, for example one 8 h day per week. Considerations of overall efficiency and cost of oper

33、ation indicate that the additional aggregate time loss due to interference should be limited to a similar 5% figure. In order to achieve the figures shown in Table 1, individual services should design their systems and control their operations to an appropriate fraction of these figures. Prudence di

34、ctates that individual systems be allowed only a fraction of the interference budget, depending on factors related to the actual allocation situation, such as band sharing and the interference potential due to unwanted emissions from other services. It should be noted that the concept of aggregate d

35、ata loss is not fully developed at present. Simulation tools, such as the one described in Recommendation ITU-R M.1316, allow the case of interference resulting from a single system to be considered. Other methodologies for single systems are also being developed. At this time there is no similar to

36、ol for the case of aggregate data loss resulting from several systems. A method that takes into account the characteristics of several systems may be difficult to develop. A particular difficulty is the apportionment of the aggregate data loss among the various systems. Further studies of these prob

37、lems are needed. The advent of radio services using space stations and high-altitude platform stations requires reassessment of the measures by which the RAS is protected from interference. Frequency sharing with such services is normally impossible, but potentially negative effects upon the RAS by

38、services in nearby bands arise through two factors: a) unwanted emissions falling in bands allocated to the RAS; b) intermodulation and departures from linearity in radio telescope systems due to strong signals in adjacent bands. It is assumed that the satellite operators will use all practical mean

39、s to minimize unwanted emissions, and radio astronomers all practical methods to minimize sensitivity to signals in adjacent or nearby bands. Nevertheless, item b) should be an important consideration when operating systems in bands adjacent or close to bands allocated to the RAS. 2 Data loss and sk

40、y blockage Whenever data loss is mentioned in this Recommendation, it refers to data that have to be discarded because they are contaminated by the aggregate interference, from one or more sources that exceeds the levels of Recommendation ITU-R RA.769, under the assumptions stated therein. The term

41、blockage is used here to indicate antenna directions in which the level of interference received exceed those given for detrimental interference in Recommendation ITU-R RA.769. In the presence of such interference, data useful for research at the frontiers of knowledge is generally not obtainable. D

42、ata loss may result from loss of part of the observing band, part of the observing time or from blockage of part of the sky. All of these can be expressed as loss of effective observing time. It is stated in Recommendation ITU-R RA.1031 that many radio astronomy measurements can tolerate interferenc

43、e from a shared service which exceeds the thresholds given in Recommendation ITU-R RA.769, for 2% of time. It should be noted that such observations, which can tolerate enhanced measurement errors, represent observations such as solar radio flare patrols. Observations of significance in radio astron

44、omy are those which result in new knowledge of astronomical phenomena, which either require making observations of objects not previously studied, or observing known objects with increased precision. Both such cases call for observations at the highest achievable sensitivity. As radio astronomy has

45、matured, the usefulness of data which is limited in accuracy by the presence of interference has declined, and it is the usual practice of astronomers to delete data for which there is any evidence of interference. Thus it is a matter of Rec. ITU-R RA.1513-2 5 practical reality that interference occ

46、urring at any identifiable level results in loss of the contaminated data. The 0 dBi contour of the pattern for large antennas between 2 GHz and about 30 GHz defined in Recommendation ITU-R SA.509 has a radius of 19. When a radio telescope points less than 19 from a transmitter, emitting in a radio

47、astronomy band at the detrimental level defined in Recommendation ITU-R RA.769, interference results. This effectively blocks radio astronomy observation within a region of the sky 19 in angular radius. Fractional sky blockage is the ratio of sky blockage (above the horizon), as defined above, to th

48、e solid angle of the visible hemisphere. Figure 1 shows the effect of a hypothetical transmitter on the horizon at the origin of the azimuth scale, which just meets the spectral pfd level of Recommendation ITU-R RA.769 at a radio astronomy station. The contours in the figure show the decibel level b

49、y which the received power from the transmitter exceeds the level at which it is detrimental to radio astronomy, as a function of the pointing angle of the radio astronomy antenna. The received transmission causes detrimental interference when it is received in sidelobes of the radio astronomy antenna with gain greater than 0 dBi. Table 2 shows the percentage of sky receiving such detrimental interference, for pointing angles of the antenna at elevations above 5. Since radio astronomy antennas are rarely pointed below 5, this is the lowest elevation considered. Fo
