1. Introduction

Page Content 2
A mask defines an envelope of the power radiated by the space stations of the non-geostationary system or its associated earth stations. Three masks, as required in Appendix 4, are mandatory to describe the non-geostationary system and examine it under RR Article 22 and Appendix 5: a power flux-density mask for the downlink (A.14.c), an equivalent isotropically radiated power mask for the uplink (A.14.b) and inter-satellite link (A.14.a). Detailed definition of these masks, description of their generation and calculation methodology are provided in Rec. ITU-R S.1503-2.

2.1. Definition of the space station power flux-density mask

Page Content 3
​
The power flux-density (PFD) mask of the non-geostationary satellite system is defined as the maximum PFD generated by any space station in the system as seen from any point at the surface of the Earth.
The mask is specified using one of the three options as referential. The first and second options specify the mask by separation angle and difference in longitude between the non-geostationary satellite and the point on the geostationary orbital arc where the separation angle is minimized.
Option 1:
▬      for each latitude of the non-geostationary sub-satellite point; and
▬      for each separation angle a between the non-geostationary space station and the geostationary orbital arc, as seen from any point on the surface of the Earth. The a angle is the minimum topocentric angle measured from this particular earth location between the non-geostationary space station and the geostationary orbital arc; or
▬    for each difference ΔL in longitude between the non-geostationary sub-satellite point and the point on the geostationary orbital arc where the a (or X) angle is minimized.
Option 2:
▬      for each latitude of the non-geostationary sub-satellite point; and
▬      for each separation angle X, which is the angle between a line projected from the geostationary orbital arc through the non-geostationary space station to the ground and a line from the non-GSO space station to the edge of the non-GSO beam; and
▬    for each difference ΔL in longitude between the non-geostationary sub-satellite point and the point on the geostationary orbital arc where the a (or X) angle is minimized.
 
The third option specifies the mask by azimuth and elevation angles used for the non-geostationary satellite.
Option 3:
▬      for each latitude of the non-geostationary sub-satellite point; and
▬      for each azimuth angle; and
▬    for each elevation angle.
The GSO arc avoidance defines a non-operating zone on the ground in the field of view of a non-GSO space station. The location of this non‐operating zone on the ground will move as a function of the latitude of the non-GSO sub‐satellite point.
