3 Rec. ITU-R P RECOMMENDATION ITU-R P Attenuation by atmospheric gases (Question ITU-R 01/3) ( ) Scope Recommendation ITU-R P.676 provides methods to estimate the attenuation of atmospheric gases on terrestrial and slant paths using: a) an estimate of gaseous attenuation computed by summation of individual absorption lines that is valid for the frequency range GHz, and b) a simplified approximate method to estimate gaseous attenuation that is applicable in the frequency range 1-30 GHz. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) the necessity of estimating the attenuation by atmospheric gases on terrestrial and slant paths, recommends 1 that, for general application, the procedures in Annex 1 be used to calculate gaseous attenuation at frequencies up to GHz. (Softare code in MATLAB is available from the Radiocommunication Bureau); that, for approximate estimates of gaseous attenuation in the frequency range 1 to 30 GHz, the computationally less intensive procedure given in Annex be used. Annex 1 Line-by-line calculation of gaseous attenuation 1 Specific attenuation The specific attenuation at frequencies up to GHz due to dry air and ater vapour, can be evaluated most accurately at any value of pressure, temperature and humidity by means of a summation of the individual resonance lines from oxygen and ater vapour, together ith small additional factors for the non-resonant Debye spectrum of oxygen belo 10 GHz, pressure-induced nitrogen attenuation above 100 GHz and a et continuum to account for the excess ater vapourabsorption found experimentally. Figure 1 shos the specific attenuation using the model, calculated from 0 to GHz at 1 GHz intervals, for a pressure of hpa, temperature of 1 C for the cases of a ater-vapour density of 7. g/m 3 (Curve A) and a dry atmosphere (Curve B).

4 Rec. ITU-R P Near 60 GHz, many oxygen absorption lines merge together, at sea-level pressures, to form a single, broad absorption band, hich is shon in more detail in Fig.. This figure also shos the oxygen attenuation at higher altitudes, ith the individual lines becoming resolved at loer pressures. Some additional molecular species (e.g. oxygen isotopic species, oxygen vibrationally excited species, ozone, ozone isotopic species, and ozone vibrationally excited species, and other minor species) are not included in the line-by-line prediction method. These additional lines are insignificant for typical atmospheres, but may be important for a dry atmosphere. For quick and approximate estimates of specific attenuation at frequencies up to 30 GHz, in cases here high accuracy is not required, simplified algorithms are given in Annex for restricted ranges of meteorological conditions. The specific gaseous attenuation is given by: γ = γ γ f N" ( f ) db/km (1) o = here γ o and γ are the specific attenuations (db/km) due to dry air (oxygen, pressure-induced nitrogen and non-resonant Debye attenuation) and ater vapour, respectively, and here f is the frequency (GHz) and N ( f ) is the imaginary part of the frequency-dependent complex refractivity: N" ( f ) = S F N" ( f ) () i i i D S i is the strength of the i-th line, F i is the line shape factor and the sum extends over all the lines (for frequencies, f, above GHz, only the oxygen lines above 60 GHz should be included in the summation); N" D ( f ) is the dry continuum due to pressure-induced nitrogen absorption and the Debye spectrum. The line strength is given by: S i = = 7 a1 10 p 1 b1 10 e 3 θ 3. θ exp [ a (1 θ) ] exp for oxygen [ b (1 θ) ] for ater vapour (3) here: p : dry air pressure (hpa) e : ater vapour partial pressure in hpa (total barometric pressure P = p e) θ = 300/T T : temperature (K).

7 Rec. ITU-R P Local values of p, e and T measured profiles (e.g. using radiosondes) should be used; hoever, in the absence of local information, the reference standard atmospheres described in Recommendation ITU-R P.83 should be used. (Note that here total atmospheric attenuation is being calculated, the same-ater vapour partial pressure is used for both dry-air and ater-vapour attenuations.) The ater-vapour partial pressure, e, may be obtained from the ater-vapour density ρ using the expression: ρ T e = (4) 16.7 The coefficients a 1, a are given in Table 1 for oxygen, those for ater vapour, b 1 and b, are given in Table. The line-shape factor is given by: Δf δ ( fi f ) ( f f ) Δf Δf δ ( f ) ( ) i f fi f Δf f Fi = () fi i here f i is the line frequency and Δf is the idth of the line: Δf = = a3 b ( p 4 10 ( p (0.8 θ b θ 4 a4 ) b b θ 6 e ) 1.1 e θ) for oxygen for ater vapour (6a) The line idth Δf is modified to account for Doppler broadening: Δf = Δf = 0.3Δf Δf θ 1 f i for oxygen for ater vapour (6b) δ is a correction factor hich arises due to interference effects in oxygen lines: δ = ( a = 0 a 6 θ) 10 4 ( p e) θ 0.8 for oxygen for ater vapour (7) The spectroscopic coefficients are given in Tables 1 and.

10 8 Rec. ITU-R P The dry air continuum arises from the non-resonant Debye spectrum of oxygen belo 10 GHz and a pressure-induced nitrogen attenuation above 100 GHz p θ N" D ( f ) = f p θ (8) 1. f f d 1 d here d is the idth parameter for the Debye spectrum: d =.6 10 pθ (9) Path attenuation.1 Terrestrial paths For a terrestrial path, or for slightly inclined paths close to the ground, the path attenuation, A, may be ritten as: here r 0 is path length (km).. Slant paths ( γ γ ) db A = γ r 0 = o r 0 (10) This section gives a method to integrate the specific attenuation calculated using the line-by-line model given above, at different pressures, temperatures and humidities through the atmosphere. By this means, the path attenuation for communications systems ith any geometrical configuration ithin and external to the Earth's atmosphere may be accurately determined simply by dividing the atmosphere into horizontal layers, specifying the profile of the meteorological parameters pressure, temperature and humidity along the path. In the absence of local profiles, from radiosonde data, for example, the reference standard atmospheres in Recommendation ITU-R P.83 may be used, either for global application or for lo (annual), mid (summer and inter) and high latitude (summer and inter) sites. Figure 3 shos the zenith attenuation calculated at 1 GHz intervals ith this model for the global reference standard atmosphere in Recommendation ITU-R P.83, ith horizontal layers 1 km thick and summing the attenuations for each layer, for the cases of a moist atmosphere (Curve A) and a dry atmosphere (Curve B). The total slant path attenuation, A(h, ϕ), from a station ith altitude, h, and elevation angle, ϕ, can be calculated as follos hen ϕ 0: A ( h ϕ) h ( H ) γ, = dh (11) sin Φ here the value of Φ can be determined as follos based on Snell s la in polar coordinates: c Φ = arccos ( r H ) n( H ) (1)

11 Rec. ITU-R P here: c = ( r h) n( h) cos ϕ (13) here n(h) is the atmospheric radio refractive index, calculated from pressure, temperature and ater-vapour pressure along the path (see Recommendation ITU-R P.83) using Recommendation ITU-R P.43. On the other hand, hen ϕ < 0, there is a minimum height, h min, at hich the radio beam becomes parallel ith the Earth s surface. The value of h min can be determined by solving the folloing transcendental equation: ( r h ) n( h ) c (14) min min = This can be easily solved by repeating the folloing calculation, using h min = h as an initial value: c h' min = r (1) n Therefore, A(h, ϕ) can be calculated as follos: (, ϕ) A h = ( h ) min γ ( H ) h γ ( H ) dh dh (16) h sin Φ h sin Φ min In carrying out the integration of equations (11) and (16), care should be exercised in that the integrand becomes infinite at Φ = 0. Hoever, this singularity can be eliminated by an appropriate variable conversion, for example, by using u 4 = H h in equation (11) and u 4 = H h min in equation (16). A numerical solution for the attenuation due to atmospheric gases can be implemented ith the folloing algorithm. To calculate the total attenuation for a satellite link, it is necessary to kno not only the specific attenuation at each point of the link but also the length of path that has that specific attenuation. To derive the path length it is also necessary to consider the ray bending that occurs in a spherical Earth. Using Fig. 4 as a reference, a n is the path length through layer n ith thickness δ n that has refractive index n n. α n and β n are the entry and exiting incidence angles. r n are the radii from the centre of the Earth to the beginning of layer n. a n can then be expressed as: 1 an = rn cos βn 4 rn cos βn 8 rn δn 4 δn (17) The angle α n can be calculated from: a δ δ α = π n rn n n n arccos (18) an rn an δn β 1 is the incidence angle at the ground station (the complement of the elevation angle θ). β n 1 can be calculated from α n using Snell s la that in this case becomes: n β = n n 1 arcsin sin αn (19) nn 1 here n n and n n 1 are the refractive indexes of layers n and n 1. min

13 Rec. ITU-R P The remaining frequency dependent (dispersive) term has a marginal influence on the result (around 1%) but can be calculated from the method shon in the ITU-R Handbook on Radiometeorology. The total attenuation can be derived using: k A = γ db (0) gas a n n = 1 here γ n is the specific attenuation derived from equation (1). To ensure an accurate estimate of the path attenuation, the thickness of the layers should increase exponentially, from 10 cm at the loest layer (ground level) to 1 km at an altitude of 100 km, according to the folloing equation: n i 1 δi = exp km (1) i = 1 i from i = 1 to 9, noting that δ km and δ 100 km. For Earth-to-space applications, the integration should be performed at least up to 30 km, and up to 100 km at the oxygen line-centre frequencies.

14 1 Rec. ITU-R P Dispersive effects The effects of dispersion are discussed in the ITU-R Handbook on Radiometeorology, hich contains a model for calculating dispersion based on the line-by-line calculation. For practical purposes, dispersive effects should not impose serious limitations on millimetric terrestrial communication systems operating ith bandidths of up to a fe hundred MHz over short ranges (for example, less than about 0 km), especially in the indo regions of the spectrum, at frequencies removed from the centres of major absorption lines. For satellite communication systems, the longer path lengths through the atmosphere ill constrain operating frequencies further to the indo regions, here both atmospheric attenuation and the corresponding dispersion are lo. Annex Approximate estimation of gaseous attenuation in the frequency range 1-30 GHz This Annex contains simplified algorithms for quick, approximate estimation of gaseous attenuation for a limited range of meteorological conditions and a limited variety of geometrical configurations. 1 Specific attenuation The specific attenuation due to dry air and ater vapour, from sea level to an altitude of 10 km, can be estimated using the folloing simplified algorithms, hich are based on curve-fitting to the lineby-line calculation, and agree ith the more accurate calculations to ithin an average of about ±10% at frequencies removed from the centres of major absorption lines. The absolute difference beteen the results from these algorithms and the line-by-line calculation is generally less than 0.1 db/km and reaches a maximum of 0.7 db/km near 60 GHz. For altitudes higher than 10 km, and in cases here higher accuracy is required, the line-by-line calculation should be used. For dry air, the attenuation γ o (db/km) is given by the folloing equations: For f 4 GHz: γ o = f For 4 GHz < f 60 GHz: 7. r t rp 1.6 t r (4 f ) 0.6ξ 1.16ξ ξ f rp 10 3 (a) ln γ ln γ8 ln γ60 γ = ( 4)( 60) ( 4)( 8) o exp ( 8)( 60) 4 f f f f f f (b) For 60 GHz < f 6 GHz: f 60 γo = γ60 ( γ6 γ60) (c)

18 16 Rec. ITU-R P Slant paths This section contains simple algorithms for estimating the gaseous attenuation along slant paths through the Earth s atmosphere, by defining an equivalent height by hich the specific attenuation calculated in 1 may be multiplied to obtain the zenith attenuation. The equivalent heights are dependent on pressure, and can hence be employed for determining the zenith attenuation from sea level up to an altitude of about 10 km. The resulting zenith attenuations are accurate to ithin ±10% for dry air and ±% for ater vapour from sea level up to altitudes of about 10 km, using the pressure, temperature and ater-vapour density appropriate to the altitude of interest. For altitudes higher than 10 km, and particularly for frequencies ithin 0. GHz of the centres of resonance lines at any altitude, the procedure in Annex 1 should be used. Note that the Gaussian function in equation (b) describing the oxygen equivalent height in the 60 GHz band can yield errors higher than 10% at certain frequencies, since this procedure cannot reproduce the structure shon in Fig. 7. The expressions belo ere derived from zenith attenuations calculated ith the procedure in Annex 1, integrating the attenuations numerically over a bandidth of 00 MHz; the resultant attenuations hence effectively represent approximate minimum values in the 0-70 GHz band. The path attenuation at elevation angles other than the zenith may then be determined using the procedures described later in this section. For dry air, the equivalent height is given by: here: ith the constraint that: t ho = (1 t t t r p 3 ) (a) 4.64 f 9.7 t 1 = exp (b) r p exp ( 7.9 r p ) t 0.14 exp (.1 rp ) = (c) ( f 118.7) exp(. r ) f f = f (d) r f f f.6 p and for ater vapour, the equivalent height is: h 1.39σ = ( f.3).6σ 0.3 ho 10.7 rp hen f < 70 GHz (e) σ 3.37σ ( f ) 4.69σ for f 30 GHz = 1 exp[ 8.6 ( r p 0.7)] p 6 1.8σ ( f 3.1).89σ (6a) (6b) The zenith attenuation beteen 0 to 70 GHz is a complicated function of frequency, as shon in Fig. 7, and the above algorithms for equivalent height can provide only an approximate estimate, in general, of the minimum levels of attenuation likely to be encountered in this frequency range. For greater accuracy, the procedure in Annex 1 should be used.

19 Rec. ITU-R P The concept of equivalent height is based on the assumption of an exponential atmosphere specified by a scale height to describe the decay in density ith altitude. Note that scale heights for both dry air and ater vapour may vary ith latitude, season and/or climate, and that ater vapour distributions in the real atmosphere may deviate considerably from the exponential, ith corresponding changes in equivalent heights. The values given above are applicable up to altitudes of about 10 km. The total zenith attenuation is then: A = γ h γ h db (7) o o Figure 6 shos the total zenith attenuation at sea level, as ell as the attenuation due to dry air and ater vapour, using the mean annual global reference atmosphere given in Recommendation ITU-R P.83. Beteen 0 and 70 GHz greater accuracy can be obtained from the 0 km curve in Fig. 7 hich as derived using the line-by-line calculation as described in Annex Elevation angles beteen and Earth-space paths For an elevation angle, ϕ, beteen and 90, the path attenuation is obtained using the cosecant la, as follos: For path attenuation based on surface meteorological data: A = o A A db (8) sin ϕ here A o = h γ and o o A = h γ and for path attenuation based on integrated ater vapour content: A A ( p) A( p) = o db (9) sin ϕ here A (p) is given in Inclined paths To determine the attenuation values on an inclined path beteen a station situated at altitude h 1 and another at a higher altitude h, here both altitudes are less than 10 km above mean sea level, the values h o and h in equation (8) must be replaced by the folloing h o ' and h ' values: h o = h o h [ e 1 / ho h / e ho ] km ' (30) h [ e 1 / h h / e h ] km h ' = h (31) it being understood that the value ρ of the ater-vapour density used in equation (3) is the hypothetical value at sea level calculated as follos: ( ) ρ = ρ 1 exp h 1 / (3) here ρ 1 is the value corresponding to altitude h 1 of the station in question, and the equivalent height of ater vapour density is assumed as km (see Recommendation ITU-R P.83). Equations (30), (31) and (3) use different normalizations for the dry air and ater-vapour equivalent heights. While the mean air pressure referred to sea level can be considered constant around the orld (equal to hpa), the ater-vapour density not only has a ide range of

For values of surface ater-vapour density, see Recommendation ITU-R P Elevation angles beteen 0º and º...1 Earth-space paths In this case, Annex 1 of this Recommendation should be used. The same Annex should also be used for elevations less than zero....
