Vacuum Component of S-Band System Noise Temperature Parameters Introduction 1.1 Purpose This module provides sufficient information concerning the performance of the Deep Space Network (DSN) 26-meter antennas and their associated acquisition antennas to enable a flight project to design a telecommunications link. 1.2 Scope The discussion in this module is limited to those parameters that characterize the RF performance of the 26-meter antennas, including the effects of weather that are unique to this type of antenna. Unless otherwise specified, the parameters do not include effects of weather, such as reduction of system gain and increase in system noise temperature, that are common to all antenna types. These are discussed in module 105, Atmospheric and Environmental Effects. This module also does not discuss mechanical restrictions on antenna performance that are covered in module 302, Antenna Positioning. 2 General Information The three 26-meter deep space station (DSS) antennas form one subnet of the DSN. This subnet provides the primary support for Earth-orbiter spacecraft as well as initial acquisition for all spacecraft. One antenna (DSS 16) is located at Goldstone, California; one (DSS 46) near Canberra, Australia; and one (DSS 66) near Madrid, Spain. The precise station locations are shown in module 301, Coverage and Geometry. The actual antenna diameters are meters (85 feet). Spacecraft initial acquisition is accomplished by using small, wide-beamwidth acquisition antennas attached to the main antenna and aligned with the main antenna beam. The acquisition antennas contain monopulse feeds and downconverters that are compatible with the main antenna receiving equipment. For initial acquisition of S-band spacecraft, the monopulse tracking equipment keeps the antenna pointed at the spacecraft until its signal is within the 4
5 beamwidth of the main antenna. For X-band acquisition or when S-band acquisition is being performed for another DSN antenna, the angle information from the 26-m antenna is used to correct the remote antenna position predicts. Each 26-m antenna contains an S-band acquisition antenna. An X-band acquisition antenna is permanently installed at DSS 16 (Goldstone), and a similar antenna can be temporarily installed at the other sites. 2.1 Telecommunications Parameters The significant parameters of the 26-meter antennas, which influence the design of the telecommunications uplink, are listed in Tables 1 and 2. Variations in these parameters, which are inherent in the design of the antennas, are discussed below. Other factors that degrade link performance are discussed in modules 105 (Atmospheric and Environmental Effects) and 106 (Solar Corona and Wind Effects) Antenna Gain Variation Frequency Effects Antenna gains are specified at the indicated frequency (f 0 ). For operation at higher frequencies in the same band, the gain (dbi) must be increased by 20 log (f/f 0 ). For operation at lower frequencies in the same band, the gain must be reduced by 20 log (f/f 0 ) Elevation Angle Effects Structural deformation of the antennas in the 26-meter subnet causes a reduction in gain when the antenna is operated with the X or Y axes set at angles other than where the reflector panels were aligned. The effective gain of the antenna is reduced also by atmospheric attenuation, which is a function of elevation. Atmospheric effects are given in module 105. Figure 1 shows the estimated gain and tolerances for all 26-meter antennas as a function of elevation angle, without atmosphere System Temperature Variation The operating system temperature (T op ) varies as a function of elevation angle due to changes in the path length through the atmosphere and the intrusion of the ground into the sidelobe pattern of the antenna. Figure 2 shows the combined effects of these factors at DSS 16 for the prime low noise amplifier (LNA) designated as 50K-A. Table 3 can be used to adjust the Figure 2 values for other stations or when using alternate LNAs. Figure 2 shows noise temperature adjustments to be made to Figure 1 when operating within about 4 degrees above an elevated horizon mask. The data for this were taken at DSS 16 at an azimuth of 125 degrees, where the horizon mask has an elevation of degrees. 5
6 2.1.3 Pointing Loss Figure 4 shows the effects of pointing error on effective transmit and receive gain of the main antenna. Figure 5 shows the effects of pointing error on the effective receive gain of the 1.8-meter diameter acquisition antenna. Data have been normalized to eliminate the effect of structural deformation and elevation angle. The equation describing the curves is provided at the end of this module. 2.2 Recommended Minimum Operating Carrier Signal Levels Table 4 provides the recommended minimum operating carrier signal levels as a function of receiver tracking-loop bandwidth for the main and acquisition antennas. Values are calculated based on the nominal zenith system temperatures given in Table 2 and assume 25% weather. 6
