A study on Earth Stations onboard Vessels (ESV) operating in the bands 6 GHz and 14 GHz

摘要

ESVs (Earth Stations onboard Vessels) are expected to provide a broadband connection in the maritime communication by use of satellite systems. They transmit in the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) networks in the 6 GHz and/or 14 GHz band (Earth-to-space); therefore they should avoid unacceptable interference to Fixed Service Receivers (FSRs) in these bands. ITU-R Recommendation SF. 1650-1 recommends the minimum distance from the coast, the values of which are 300 km and 150 km in the 6 GHz and 14 GHz bands, respectively. In this paper, we further evaluate the minimum distance taking into account our proposed method and various parameters of ESVs.
