scope:

This Recommendation sets forth a method for the statistical processing of earth station antenna side-lobe peaks in order to determine the percentage of side-lobe peaks that exceed antenna reference patterns provided in relevant ITU-R Recommendations. It also recommends conditions under which earth station antenna side-lobe patterns with peaks exceeding recommended envelopes will still be considered as compliant with ITU-R Recommendations that allow a certain percentage of side-lobe peaks to exceed the recommended envelopes.
