The main results of the study are: the UIC systems would be likely to cause an unacceptable levei of interference to

10、radio microphone operation. The separation distances needed extend to several kilometres, which combined with the UIC requirement for coverage up to 10 km from railway tracks, would leave little possibility for sharing based on geographic separation in most European countries; radio microphones woul

11、d be likely to cause interference to UIC base stations at a distance of up to 5 km. Again taking account of the proposed coverage of the systems, there is little possibility for sharing based on geographic separation in most European countries.

12、C REPORT 62 Pase 1 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of sharing between the UIC System and professional radio microphones in the UIC bands 876 - 880 MHz and 921 - 925 MHz. The UIC system is a radio system, based on the GSM standards, intended mainly for train

13、 control purposes and for the exchange of voice messages overriding train signalling information. However it will also be used for road based applications such as maintenance and buses. The radio microphones considered in this study are professional applications. Therefore the stringent requirements

14、 for broadcast quality are taken into account. Radio microphones are assumed to be operated mainly indoors, although outdoor use is not prohibited. Section 3 of this document considers radio microphones interfered with by the UIC system, whilst section 4 considers the UIC system interfered with by r

23、overage radius approx. 1 km = maximum interfering field strength 33 dB(pV/m) 3 Use of digital microphones (coverage radius = 150 m) Minimum wanted field strength 68 dB(pV/m); Ch = 18 dB = maximum interfering field strength 50 dB(pV/m) For the above calculation of the coverage radius a bodyloss of 14

24、 dB for bodyworn and 6 dB for handheld equipment was used. Furthermore an antenna gain of O dBd (2 dBi) for the microphone transmitter was taken into account. These parameters are assumed to reflect the practical coverage scenarios. The minimum wanted field strength for a digital receiver with a sen

25、sitivity of - 103 dBm (33 dB(pV/m) and a required C/I of 18 dB was assumed to be 5 1 dB(pV/m). In view of the transmitter powers now specified for hand-held and body worn devices a coverage radius of approximately 1 km would be possible. In this case the maximum permissible interfering field strengt

26、h would be 33 dB(pV/m). However, if the same receiver is assumed but the coverage radius is reduced to 150 m the wanted field strength is 68 dB(pV/m) and the permissible interfering field strength is 50 dB(pV/m).

36、of radio microphones on adjacent frequencies are based on the receiver spectrum mask i Annex 4. However, this mask was originally developed for initial assessments of the interference situation in the frequency range 1785 - 1800 MHz and may change considerably owing to future developments in radio m

37、icrophone technology. 3.4 Interpretation of the results of the analysis 3.4.1 Use of the UICsystem The UIC system is intended to enable the railway operators to implement mobile communications. Mobile communications will not be restricted to the trains but will extend to service vehicles, staff and

38、other facilities. Coverage will therefore not be restricted to railway tracks but extend to adjacent areas as weil. This means that a distance of about i0 km on either side of the tracks should be covered. Dense urban areas will even be fully served by a cellular network. For these reasons the compa

39、tibility analysis was not simply limited to railway tracks. In some countries coverage may be extended to buses with an even wider range of operation. ERC REPORT 62 Pase 5 3.4.2 UIC mobile sfation interferes with radio niicropliones (scenarios I.1- 1.3 and 2, I - 2.3. See Tnble I) 3.4.2.1 Co-channel

40、 operation The results show that radio microphones are interfered with by mobile UIC stations located in trains. it is therefore not possible to operate a radio microphone in an area extending to approximately 750 m on either side of the tracks. In the range between roughly 750 m and 1.9 km the use

41、of microphones depends on their type of modulation and coverage range. Both factors affect the maximum permissible interfering field strength. In areas with few buildings the necessary separation distances may increase considerably, extending up to the radio horizon (ma. approx. 7 km). The parameter

42、s of UIC transmitters installed in service vehicles are the same as to those of stations in trains. For this reason the results for stations in trains also apply to service vehicles. Lower values are assumed for the power emitted by hand-held devices. The maximum transmitter power of such a device i

43、s about 30 dBm with an antenna gain of O dBi. For hand-held devices separation distances ranging from about 400 m to about 1 km have been determined. In view of the dense railway network in Europe and taking a service range of roughly 10 km on either side of the tracks and taking the establishment o

44、f cellular networks in urban areas into account considerable interference to radio microphones is inevitable. In rural areas the railway network may be less dense but the propagation conditions in relation to the interference situation are less favourable. All calculations are based on outdoor use o

45、f radio microphones. 3.4.2.2 Operation on adjacentjvquencies The results in Annex 3 (Figs 1 and 2) clearly show that a frequency separation of about at least f 600 kHz is necessary. However, in spite of such frequency separations, separation distances of about 60 m are also necessary. Here again, al

46、l calculations are based on outdoor use of radio microphones. 3.4.3 UIC base station interferes with radio microphones (scenarios 3.1 - 3.3 and 4.1 - 4.3. See Table I) 3.4.3.1 Co-channel operation If UIC usage as described in 3.4.1 is assumed a high number of base stations will be established, espec

47、ially in urban areas. Since the separation distances (see Annex3, Figs 3 and 4) extend to several kilometers (roughly 2.5 - 12 km) the use of radio microphones in this frequency range is also not possible. Isolation between the antennas of UIC base stations and radio microphones along tracks is not

48、feasible owing to the envisaged service range of about 10 krn on each side of the tracks. In rural areas the railway network may be less dense but the propagation conditions in relation to the interference situation are less favourable. All calculations are based on outdoor use of radio microphones.

49、 3.4.3.2 Operation on adjacent channels Here again, the results in Annex 3 (Figs 3 and 4) clearly show that a frequency separation of about tr. 600 kHz is necessary if distances of less than 400 m are to be achieved. But these distances are not always feasible, especially in urban areas. Furthermore, a frequency separation of about i 600 kHz implies a considerable restriction on the remaining frequency spectrum since UIC base stations use several channels. Ail calculations are based on outdoor use
