10、A considers the situation where a digital fixed link receives interference from radio (natural) noise plus an unwanted interferer of power set at 6 dB above the natural noise. Current fixed link assignment strategies are commonly noise limited. This means that the minimum receiver signal level under

11、 fading is set to a particular level with respect to the system noise floor and the ambient noise. The assignments are then planned such that the maximum level of an unwanted signal is set by a protection ratio that results in the unwanted signals typically being approximately 6 dB below the noise.

12、This approach is relatively safe and easy to define, but suffers from being sub-optimum. It is advantageous in maximizing the number of links that can be accommodated in a given band and geographical area to arrange that systems are interference limited. In other words, that the unwanted signals, no

13、t natural noise, set the environmental noise floor. Such a strategy brings forth the need to assess the performance of fixed-link receivers in the presence of unwanted signals of other modulation schemes as well as Gaussian noise. This study to considered three types of digital fixed link modulation

14、 schemes of frequency-shift keying (FSK), 4-level phase-shift keying (4-PSK) and 16-level quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) affected by noise and interference from one source of dissimilar modulation scheme, FSK, 4-PSK 8-PSK and 16-QAM. The theoretical investigation was carried out using the

15、signal processing work system (SPW). 4 Rep. ITU-R SM.2022-1 The Report concludes, through analysis of results of computer simulations, that planning and assignment of fixed-links in an interference limited environment (i.e., interference 6 dB above noise) will provide closer physical packing of fixe

16、d-link assignments with increased efficiency. 2 Project work objectives and plan It was intention of this project work to carry out theoretical study according to the agreed objectives and work plan with the sponsor, but additional work was added during the investigative study. 2.1 Project work obje

17、ctives The objective of the study was to simulate the effect on a typical microwave link of unwanted energy consists of both noise and interference (of other modulation schemes) with their signal levels in a defined proportion. Then through analysis assess the potential of spectrum planning and assi

18、gnment strategies based on interference limited scenarios that are more likely to be more efficient. For the purpose of this project work a symbol error ratio (SER), or a bit error ratio (BER), was measured/calculated for a various values of signal to (noise + interference) ratios, S/(N + I), where

19、noise = additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and interference = other specified modulation schemes. In all cases, unless specified, the interference level was chosen to be 6 dB above the noise. 2.2 Project work test plan Table 1 lists the tasks that were to meet the specified objectives in 2.1.

24、.3 Additional project work developed during the project During the project work, it became necessary to know two things. One is how wanted fixed links of 4-PSK, 16-QAM and FSK modulation formats are affected by unwanted fixed link of FSK modulation format with its varying modulation index. The other

25、, is how wanted fixed-link of FSK modulation format is affected by unwanted fixed-links of FSK, 4-PSK and 16-QAM formats whilst the wanted FSK fixed-links modulation index is varied. TABLE 2 Additional project work 3 SPW simulation methodology The objective of the project work is to compare, the eff

26、ect on symbol, or bit, error probability of pure Gaussian noise (as reference) and interfering signal plus noise for a variety of test cases specified in Tables 1 and 2. The chosen methodology was to generate SPW simulation designs for a typical fixed-link employing 4-PSK, 16-QAM and FSK modulation

27、formats respectively, validate each design against expected theoretical results and then proceed with simulation for the specified test cases. Subsequent paragraphs give details of simulation design set up, error counting method, justification for its validity and results of required computer simula

28、tions for fixed-links of 4-PSK, 16-QAM and FSK modulation format with their power spectrum density (PSD) plots. Scatter and eye diagrams for wanted fixed-links of 4-PSK and 16-QAM modulation formats with interference signal and noise varied in proportions are also given. 3.1 SPW simulation set up an

29、d designs A typical fixed link simulation design set up consists of wanted signal and an interference signal of required modulation formats that combined into the receiver with a facility to add and vary AWGN to wanted signal to give required signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, or S/(N + I), at the input of

30、 a demodulator, for calculations, or measurements, of BER and SER.
