Version evolution

The number in each cell (e.g. −9) is the Recommendation's revision number — the “-9” in ITU-R M.585-9, not a negative value. So −8 → −9 means the binding reference moved from the 8th to the 9th revision.

Scope

for earth station antennas in the fixed-satellite service (FSS), Recommendation ITU-R S.465 prescribes a reference antenna radiation pattern which represents an envelope of the side-lobe peaks;

Recommends

  1. that for interference calculations involving moving interfering sources and/or victim receivers of FSS interference, the following reference earth station radiation antenna pattern should be employed:
  2. for 20 ≤ Dλ ≤ 25:
  3. G(ϕ) = Gmax – 2.5 × 10–3 Dλϕ2 dBi for 0 < ϕ < ϕm
  4. G(ϕ) = G1 for ϕm ≤ ϕ < 95λD
  5. G(ϕ) = 29 – 25 log ϕ dBi for 95λD ≤ ϕ < 33.1°
  6. G(ϕ) = –9 dBi for 33.1° < ϕ ≤ 80°
