1 APPENDIX A ELEVATION ANGLE DEPENDENCE FOR SLANT PATH COMMUNICATIONS LINKS Very often in radiowave propagation calculations it is necessary to evaluate a path length dependent parameter, such as atmospheric attenuation, path delay, or rain attenuation, as a function of the elevation angle () of the ground antenna to the satellite. Atmospheric attenuation models are usually developed for the zenith «() = 90 ) direction, and attenuation at other elevation angles must be derived from that value. Rain attenuation modeling, on the other hand, is most often developed for terrestrial paths «() = 0 ) and other values of attenuation for slant paths must be derived from it. In this appendix the general procedure for determining elevation angle dependence for a slant path is developed. Consider a horizontally stratified interaction region in the atmosphere of height H above the surface of the spherical earth with an effective radius (including refraction) of R, as shown in Figure A-I. We desire to determine the path length L through the stratified atmosphere, as a function of the elevation angle (). The value for R is usually taken as 8500 km. H will typically range up to km maximum for most parameters of interest for radiowave propagation factors. The path length L is then found from geometric considerations as 2H L = -;==;0=====----.Jsin 2 () + (2HIR) + sin () (A-i) This result is valid for all elevation angles from () = 0, where L =.J2RH, to () = 900, where L = H, under the reasonable assumption that R» 2 H. A further simplification is possible for elevation angles greater than about 10. For () between 10 and 90, sin 2 () will range between 0.03 and 1. The maximum value of 2HIR will be on the order of forthe values discussed above. Therefore for () > 10, 217

It is only valid, though, for elevation angles above about 10. Equations (A-I) and (A-2) can be used to determine the values of path length dependent parameters as a function of elevation angle (J and height H. For example, to determine the total water vapor attenuation through the atmosphere at an elevation angle (J, Aw((J), from the specific attenuation, 'Yw(dB/km), 2H'Yw../sin 2 (J + (2H1R) + sin (J' db (A-3) (A-4) In general, to determine the value of a path length dependent parameter at an elevation angle cf>, P( cf», given the parameter at an elevation angle (J, P( (J),

4 APPENDIX B INTERPOLATION PROCEDURE FOR ATMOSPHERIC ATTENUATION COEFFICIENTS Tables 3-1 and 3-2 present listings of frequency dependent coefficients for use in the detennination of specific attenuation and total zenith attenuation due to gaseous atmospheric absorption. To detennine the coefficients at frequencies other than those given in the tables, the following procedure should be used. Given the frequency/coefficient pairsfl/yi andf2/y2, from either table, where Y is a(/), b(/), c(/), or a(/), (3(/), Hf), we desire to detennine the coefficient Yo at frequency fo (see Figure B-1). Note that, log Y2 = m logf2 + b ' (B-1) and log YI = m logfl + b ' (B-2) Solving for m and b I, log [(yh2)] m= log [(Nf2)] (B-3) b ' = log Y2 - m logf2 (B-4) The coefficient Yo at frequency fo is then found from log Yo = m logfo + b ' (B-5) where m and b ' are detennined from Equations (B-3) and (B-4) above. For example, to detennine the (3(/) coefficient at 17.5 GHz from Table 3-2, 220

6 APPENDIX C ANALYTICAL BASIS FOR THE arb REPRESENTATION OF RAIN ATTENUATION The specific attenuation produced by rain on a radiowave path was found in Chapter 4 to be well approximated by the expression (C-l) where R is the rain rate in mm/h and a and b are frequency and temperature dependent constants. In this appendix the analytical basis for this relationship is developed from the classical descriptions of rain attenuation on a radiowave path. Consider the specific attenuation in terms of the attenuation cross-section Qt and drop size distribution n(r), as given by Equation (4-13) (C-2) where [see Eq. (4-12)] In these equations Qt is the attenuation cross section, r is the rain drop diameter, A is the wavelength, m is the refractive index of the water drop, R is the rain rate in mm/h, and No, c, and d are empirical constants. The attenuation cross section is given by [see Equation (4-9)] (C-3) 222

9 APPENDIX D CRANE GLOBAL RAIN ATTENUATION MODEL CALCULATION PROCEDURE This appendix presents the step-by-step procedure for the calculation of rain attenuation for an average year by use of the Crane global model, discussed in Chapter 5, Section 5.4. The input parameters required for the Crane Global Model are: f Frequency (GHz) 8: Elevation angle to satellite (degrees) G: Ground station elevation, i.e., the height above mean sea level (km) : Ground station latitude (degrees) The mean rain attenuation distribution for an average year is determined as follows: STEP 1. Obtain the annual rain rate distribution, Rp, for values of p from 2 % to % of an average year, for the location of interest. If this information is not available from local historical data sources, use the appropriate rain rate distribution listed in Table 4-9, as determined from the climate regions given by the maps of Figures 4-8, 4-9, or STEP 2. Determine the O C isotherm height H(p) for each percent of the average year p from Figure Isotherm heights for p = %, 0.01 %, 0.1 %, and 1 % can be read directly off of the curves on the figure. Isotherm heights at other values of p can be determined by logarithmic interpolation between the curves. STEP 3. Calculate the projected surface path length D for each p percent of the year desired from the following: For 8 ~ 100, D = H(p) - tan 8 G (D-1) where H(p) are the 0 0 isotherm heights obtained in Step 2, G is the ground 225
10 226 APPENDIX D station elevation above mean sea level, and () is the elevation angle to the satellite. At elevation angles less than 10, the curvature of the earth's surface must be accounted for. Therefore, for () < 10, D = R sin-i J cos () (.J(G + R)2 sin2 () + 2R(H(p) - G) + H2(p) - G 2 LH(p) + R - (G + R) sin ()) J (D-2) where R is the effective radius of the earth, assumed to be 8500 kin. STEP 4. Determine the specific attenuation coefficients a and b at the frequency and polarization of interest. The values given by Table 4-3 are recommended. STEP 5. Determine the following four empirical constants from Rp for each p of interest. d = In Rp (D-3) x = 2.3R;;o.17 (D-4) y = In Rp (D-5) (D-6) STEP 6. The mean slant-path rain attenuation at each probability of occurrence p is then found as follows: (a) If 0 < D ::5 d: (b) If d < D ::5 22.5: A(p) = ~ aft.. r eubd - cos () Ub IJ (D-7) 1 _ xeybd + Xb eybd J aft.. reubd - A(p) = -=.L cos () Ub Yb Yb (D-8)
11 CRANE GLOBAL RAIN ATTENUATION MODEL CALCULATION PROCEDURE 227 (c) If D > 22.5, calculate A(p) with D = 22.5 but use the rain rate R; at the value l p'=p -22.5l (D-9) D instead of Rp- STEP 7. Estimate the upper and lower bounds of the mean slant-path attenuation (i.e., the standard deviation of measurements about the model) from the following: Percent Standard of Year Deviation (%) 1.0 ± For example, a mean prediction of 12 db at 0.01 % of the year yields an upper! lower bound of ±32% or ±3.84 db.
12 APPENDIX E CCIR RAIN ATTENUATION MODEL CALCULATION PROCEDURE This appendix presents step-by-step procedures for the calculation of rain attenuation for an average year by application of the CCIR rain attenuation model discussed in Chapter 5, Section 5.5. Three separate methods are included in the CCIR model: Method I: for maritime climates Method II: for continental climates and/or for time percentages greater than 0.01 % Method I': for tropical climates The CCIR Model determines an annual attenuation distribution at a specified location from as "average year" rain rate distribution. The input parameters required for the model are: f: frequency (GHz) (): elevation angle to the satellite (degrees) G: Ground station elevation, i.e., the height above mean sea level (km) cj>: Ground station latitude (degrees) The step-by-step procedure for each method follows. METHOD I. MARITIME CLIMATES STEP 1. Obtain the rain height hr from hr = log [1 + 10(<1>-27/25)] (E-l) where cj> is the ground station latitude, in degrees. This equation is shown plotted in Figure E-l as the curve labeled "Method I." STEP 2. The slant path length Ls is determined from 228

Rain height as a function of earth station latitude for the CCIR prediction methods. Ls = [sin2 fj + (hr - G/4250)] 1/2 + sin fj (E-2) where G is the ground station height above mean sea level, in km, and fj is the elevation angle, in degrees, An effective Earth radius of 8500 krn is usually assumed. For fj ~ 10, Equation (E-2) can be approximated by Ls == hr - G sin fj (E-3) STEP 3. The horizontal projection Lc of the slant path length is then found from Lc = Ls cos fj (E-4) STEP 4, The reduction factor rp for 0.01 % of the time is calculated by 90 r = p Lc (E-5) STEP 5. Obtain the rain rate Rp exceeded for 0.01 % of an average year at the location of interest. If this information is not available from local data sources, an estimate can be obtained by determination of the rain climate zone from
14 230 APPENDIX E Figures 4-13 or 4-14, and the corresponding rain rate value at 0.01 % from Table STEP 6. Obtain the specific attenuation ex from ex = ar!, db/kin (E-6) where a and b are the frequency dependent constants described by Equation (4-15). The values given by Table 4-3 are recommended. STEP 7. The rain attenuation exceeded for 0.01 % of the average year is then obtained from (E-7) STEP 8. The rain attenuation for other percentages p of the average year is found from Equation (E-7) by A = p ( ) Ao.oI 0~1 ' ( ) Ao.ol 0~1 ' 0.001!5; p!5; < P!5; 0.1 (E-8) METHOD II. CONTINENTAL CLIMATES Method II is used for locations in continental climates and/or when time percentages greater than 0.1 % are required. It is somewhat more invovled than is Method I, since it uses four rain rate distribution values rather than the single value at 0.01 % used in Method I. STEP 1. Obtain the rain height hr for the four percentage values %, 0.01 %, 0.1 %, and 1 % at the ground location of interest from the curves of Figure E-l labeled "Method II." STEP 2. Determine the slant-path length Ls from Equations (E-2) or (E-3), as in Method I, Step 2. STEP 3. Determine the horizontal projection LG from Equation (E-4) as in Method I, Step 3. STEP 4. The reduction factor rp is determined for each of the four time percentages from 10 ro.ooi = LG (E-9)
15 CCIR RAIN ATTENUATION MODEL CALCULATION PROCEDURE 231 ro.oi ro LG LG (E-1O) (E-ll) rl.o = (E-12) STEP 5. Obtain the rain rate Rp at the location of interest exceeded for %, 0.01 %, 0.1 %, and 1.0% of an average year. If this infonnation is not available from local data sources, use the appropriate rain rate distribution listed in Table 4-9, as detennined from the climate regions given by the maps of Figures 4-8,4-9, or STEP 6. The rain attenuation exceeded for each of the four time percentages is found from AO.OOI = arg.oollsro.oo I Ao.ol = am.ol Lsro.ol AO.I = arg.ilsrol AI = ak;lsrl (E-13) (E-14) (E-15) (E-16) where a and b are the frequency dependent constants for specific attenuation described by Equation (4-15). STEP 7. The rain attenuation for other percentages p between % and 1. 0 % is found from Equations (E-13) through (E-16) by the following A (_p_)iog[(ao.oo1/ao.oi)] ' < P < 0.01 A = p A (~)IOg[(AO.OI/Ao.OI)] ' 0.01 < P < 0.1 (E-17) x..)iog[(ao.'/ai») ( AO.I 0.1 ' 0.1 < P < 1 METHOD I'. TROPICAL CLIMATES Method I was modified by the CCIR IWP 5/2 in May 1982 to improve the prediction for tropical climates where the original Method I was found to overpredict the rain attenuation.
16 232 APPENDIX E The Method I' procedure differs from Method I in two ways. First, the rain height hr calculated in Step I, Equation (E-l), is modified by a reduction factor Pp which is a function of ground station latitude. The modified rain height hr is found from where (E-18) 0.6, Pp = { (ct> - 20), 1.0, (E-19) The modified rain height is shown plotted in Figure E-1 as the curve labeled "Method I'." Method I Steps 2 through 7 are unchanged for Method I'. The second modification occurs in Step 8, the calculation of rain attenuation for other percentages of the year. Method I' includes an additional equation for calculating rain attenuation for percentages from 0.1 to 1.0%. Equation (E-8) is extended to A = p ( ) ~O.33 Ao.oJ 0~1 ' ( ) ~O.9J Ao.oJ 0~1 ' ( ) ~O.5 1.3Ao.oJ 0~1 ' :5 P : < P :5 0.1 (E-20) 0.1 < P :5 1 Method I' provides predictions which are identical to Method I for locations above 40 latitude, and provides predictions which are reduced by up to about 40% for locations below 20 latitude. Method I' was adapted by CCIR Study Group V at it's 1983 Interim Meetings in Geneva as the sole CCIR Prediction Model to be used for attenuation prediction calculations (CCIR Doc. 5/101, 27 July 1983).
17 APPENDIX F CCIR TROPOSPHERIC SCINTILLATION MODEL PROCEDURE In this appendix the detailed step by step procedure of the CCIR tropospheric scintillation model introduced in Chapter 8 is presented. A thin turbulent layer at an average height of 1 km is assumed, and empirical approximations to the determination of amplitude fluctuations from turbulence theory are employed in the model. The model determines the standard deviation of the log of the received power, which is a measure of the root mean square (r.m.s.) amplitude scintillation of a radiowave transmitted on a satellite path. The model is applicable at any elevation angle, and has shown good agreement with measurements at frequencies up to 30 GHz. REQUIRED INPUT PARAMETERS Antenna diameter D, in meters Operating frequency j, in GHz Elevation angle 0, in degrees STEP 1. Determine L, the slant path distance to the horizontal thin turbulent layer, from L = [.J sin sin 0] x 10 6 (F-l) STEP 2. Determine the parameter Z from D z~ ~ (F-2) 233
18 234 APPENDIX F STEP 3. Detennine the antenna aperture averaging factor, G(z), from z, G(z) = { O.4z, 0.1, o < Z < < z < 1 < z (F-3) STEP 4. The r.m.s. amplitude scintillation, expressed as (lx, the standard deviation of the log of the received power, is then given by (F4) SAMPLE CALCULATION STEP 1. Let D = 37m f= 7.3 GHz (J = I 0 degrees L = [.J (sin2 10) sin 10] X 10 6 STEP 2. = 5747 m Z = m = STEP 3. G(z) = (0.903) = STEP 4. = 0.13 db It should be emphasized that the model is based on a statistical description of the propagation path. The r.m.s. amplitude scintillation calculated by the model should be expected over a long tenn averaging period (several months). Instantaneous, short tenn fluctuations could exceed this value by several orders of magnitude.
