Definitions
- the present invention relates to method and apparatus for effecting substantial cancellation of interference between a first and a second signal transmitted concurrently in a first and a second antenna radiated beam, respectively, where the first and second signals include different informational content and use the same frequency spectrum and the first and second beams overlap each other in the area of a receiver which is to receive only the first signals.
- a separate spot coverage beam can be used for communication between the satellite and each high traffic ground station while an area coverage beam can be used for communication between the satellite and a plurality of low traffic ground stations under conditions where it might not be desirable to interconnect the individual low traffic ground stations to a nearest high traffic-ground station for access to the satellite system.
- a typical prior art technique would be to use separate bandwidths or polarizations, if possible, for the spot coverage beams and the area coverage beam. Using separate bandwidths, however, results in inefficient use of the frequency spectrum and different polarizations may not be available where dual polarized beams are already used by each of the beams of the satellite system.
- An alternative technique to enable rece ption of only one signal of a plurality of signals concurrently received from a plurality of transmitters at an FM receiver would be to modulate the carrier of each transmitter with a separate frequency to provide a unique address that is assigned to an associated receiver as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Reissue Patent Re. 27,478. Such arrangement may be applicable to FM communication systems but does not appear applicable to a digital communication system.
- the problem remaining in the prior art is to provide a technique which permits overlapping spot and area coverage beams which use the same frequency band to be separated at an overlapped receiving station.
- the foregoing problem is solved according to the invention by the method characterized by the step of, at the transmitter, coupling a predetermined portion of the second signal to be transmitted in the second beam into the signal to be transmitted by the first beam, said predetermined portion of the coupled-in second signal having a magnitude and phase to cancel substantially, after propagation in the first beam to the receiver, the second signal which arrives in the second beam at the receiver.
- the invention provides for a transmitter characterised by a first antenna capable of transmitting the first beam with a predetermined field pattern E s ( ⁇ ) in the direction of the receiver which is to receive only the first signals; a second antenna capable of transmitting the second beam with a predetermined filed pattern E A (D) which overlaps said first beam field pattern in the area of the receiver which is to receive only the first signals; a first transmission line capable of delivering the signal to be transmitted in the first beam to the first antenna; a second transmission line capable of delivering the signal to be transmitted in the second beam to the second antenna, and a coupler disposed between the first and second transmission lines arranged to couple a predetermined portion of the second signal propagating in the second transmission line into the first transmission line for transmission in the first beam, the predetermined portion of the second signal coupled into the first transmission line having a magnitude and phase to substantially cancel the signal in the second beam arriving at the first beam receiver.
- a transmitter characterised by a first antenna capable of transmitting the first beam with a predetermined field pattern E s ( ⁇
- the present invention has been described primarily in relationship to a satellite communication system to enable the concurrent use of an area coverage satellite radiated beam and a plurality of spot coverage satellite radiated beams where all of the .beams use the same frequency spectrum and the spot coverage beams are received within the area encompassed by the area coverage beam.
- a satellite communication system to enable the concurrent use of an area coverage satellite radiated beam and a plurality of spot coverage satellite radiated beams where all of the .beams use the same frequency spectrum and the spot coverage beams are received within the area encompassed by the area coverage beam.
- inventive concept described is equally applicable to other radiated wave transmission systems - which comprise two or more beams which have different destinations but interfere with each other at one or more of the destinations.
- FIG. 1 a satellite communication system is illustrated wherein the present invention is especially useful to permit the concurrent transmission from a satellite 10 of both an area coverage beam 12 and a plurality of spot coverage beams of which, for example, three beams 14a, 14b and 14c are shown with all beams being able to use the same frequency spectrum.
- Spot coverage beams 14a, 14b and 14c are shown radiating from antennas 15a, 15b and 15c, respectively, and directed at respective ground areas 16a, 16b and 16c which include for example, high traffic ground stations 17a, 17b and 17c, respectively.
- Area coverage beam 12 is shown radiating from an antenna 13 and directed at a ground area 18 which includes both the ground areas 16a, 16b and 16c and a plurality of low traffic ground stations of which, for example, four stations 19a-19d are shown.
- each of the high traffic ground stations 17a-17c communicates with satellite 10 via a separate spot beam 14a-14c, respectively, while the low traffic ground stations 19a-19d communicate .
- with satellite 10 via common area coverage beam 12 using any suitable technique to assure that a particular message will be processed by only the appropriate one of stations 19a-19d.
- Such arrangement permits low traffic ground stations 19a-19d to communicate with satellite 10 under conditions where it is not advantageous to connect a low traffic ground station 19 to a nearby one of high traffic ground stations 17a-17c.
- S represents the signal intended for a particular spot beam antenna 15 with a field pattern E s ( ⁇ ). More particularly, signals S sa , S sb and S sc propagate in waveguide 21a, 21b and 21c, respectively, to respective antennas 15a, 15b and 15c for radiation to respective ground stations 17a-17c via spot coverage beams 14a, 14b and 14c, respectively.
- the field pattern E s (o) for each of the spot coverage beams 14 is assumed to be of Gaussian shape as, for example, in the main lobe of a paraboloid fed by a corrugated feedhorn, and is given by: where E (0) is in the magnitude of the field along the axis of each spot coverage beam 14.
- S A represents the signal intended for area coverage beams 12 and is shown propagating in waveguide 21d to antenna 13 for radiation to ground stations 19 via area coverage beam 12 which has a field pattern E A ( ⁇ ) which is given by where E A (0) is the magnitude of the field along the axis of area coverage beam 12.
- E A ( ⁇ ) represents the field pattern over area 18 of FIG. 1, it is desirable to produce a "hole" in E A ( ⁇ ) in the areas 16a-16c where the spot coverage beams 14a-14c exist such that E A does not interfere with each of the E s patterns.
- interference between the signal S A transmitted via area coverage beam 12 and each of signals S sa , S sb and S sc transmitted via spot coverage beams 14a, 14b and 14c, respectively, is substantially reduced at each of the spot beam ground stations 17 by coupling a portion of the area coverage signal, S A , propagating in waveguide 21d, into each of the spot coverage signals S S sb and S sc propagating in waveguides 21a-21c, respectively, using respective directional couplers 22a, 22b and 22c.
- each of couplers 22a-22c should preferably have a negative coupling coefficient of approximately between one and two times the value of .
- Equation (3) can be simplified to The normalized power patterns for both a spot and the area coverage beams are and are shown in FIG. 3. From FIG. 3 it can be seen that the spot coverage beam 14 remains unchanged when received at associated area 16 whereas the area coverage beam 12 is significantly reduced in the spot coverage beam region 16.
- the blackout region is that area which is serviceable by neither the area beam nor the spot beam because of mutual interference between the two beams.
- The.traffic terminating in the blackout region at the edge of each of spot beam regions 16 may have to be trunked on the ground via other stations in the neighboring region.
- the blackout region can be reduced or the S/I may be increased.
- the capacity of the area coverage beam can be reduced by a factor of two and the modulations can be placed at the edges of the allocated 500 MHz bandwidth of the satellite downlink.
- the power spectrums of a 300 Mbauds spot coverage peam and two 75 Mbauds area beams are shown in FIG. 5.
- a ground station 19, intended to receive the area coverage beam 12 will have a receiving filter having characteristics which follow either spectrum A 1 or A 2 . Therefore, the received interference power of S S is reduced by about 6 dB due to this offsetting of modulation spectrum.
- a ground station 17 intended to receive S s will have a receiving filter having characteristics which follow spectrum S in FIG. 5.
- the received power of S A is reduced by about 9 dB compared to that of S .
