FIGURE 4.6Adjacent satellite interference.Communications Commission (FCC), specifies the following as permissiblesidelobe envelope levels [6]:ð29 25 log yÞ dB 1 a 7 8dB7 a 9:2 ð32 25 log yÞ dB 9:2 a 48 ð4:28Þ10 dB 48 a 180 where a is the antenna <strong>of</strong>f-axis (or depointing) angle in degrees. For exampleat 6.2 , the sidelobe envelope level must not exceed 9.2 dB above the isotropic(0-dB) level.The angular separation between satellites, as seen by the earth stations,influences the level <strong>of</strong> interference generated or received from the sidelobe <strong>of</strong>the earth station antenna into or from an adjacent satellite. Example 4.3 isgiven as an illustration <strong>of</strong> the influence.Example 4.3: If the angular separation between two geostationary satellites is3.45 , <strong>and</strong> a station-keeping accuracy <strong>of</strong> 0.5 is assumed, then the worstcaseviewing angle is 2.95 , which corresponds to the antenna <strong>of</strong>f-axis a <strong>of</strong>approximately 3 . Hence, using (4.28), the earth station antenna sidelobes’envelope level must not exceed 17.1 dB above the isotropic (0-dB) level.Copyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
