INTRODUCTION This paper examines the potential compatibility problems between ERMES (European Radio Message System), and PMR systems operating around 170 MHZ. As a result of both theoretical work, based on ETSI spec

6、ifications, and practical work carried out under laboratory controlled conditions, the isolation requirements for different interference mechanisms were determined. These were expressed in dBs and translated into separation distances using appropriate propagation models. 2. BACKGROUND ERMES is the P

7、an European Paging System and as such will be implemented across Europe. It is understood however that the implementation is likely to be different in various member states. Radiocommunications systems operating in adjacent bands may adversely effect each other due to the presence of a number of pot

8、ential interference mechanisms e.g. receiver blocking, receiver spurious responses, transmitter spurious emissions or the generation of intermodulation products within the transmitter or receiver. Concerns have been expressed regarding the actual performance of PMR equipments, however laboratory tes

9、ts have shown that they were well within specification. It has also been noted that there is a band of frequencies from the second adjacent channel to 1 MHz from the wanted channel where PMR receiver performance is undefined, limited testing however has revealed that extrapolation would appear to be

10、 appropriate. It is felt however that the actual performance should be specified. The minimum isolation required between ERMES and PMR systems, for correct operation, can be calculated from knowledge of the equipments performance (obtained from the systems specifications, or actual tests carried out

11、 on equipments), and the transmitter power, receiver sensitivity and antenna gains etc. This minimum isolation can then be translated into an interference distance through the application of an appropriate propagation model for different interference scenarios. This will yield a number of interferen

12、ce distances relating to the different interference mechanisms, frequency separations, transmitter powers and receiver sensitivities etc. The interference distances for different scenarios may range from metres to kilometres, although some scenarios will of course be more likely to occur than others

13、. The interference scenarios considered as being significant are as shown below in order of perceived importance: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) ERMES base station to PMR base station; ERMES base station to PMR mobile station; PMR base station (50 m) to ERMES mobile station; PMR base station (30m) to ERMES

14、mobile station; PMR mobile station to ERMES mobile station; ERMES base station to ERMES mobile station. The probability of interference occurring within each scenario has not been addressed. 3.

This stems from the high transmit power of the

28、 ERMES equipment and its proximity to the PMR equipment. If ERMES transmissions are able to mix with PMR base transmissions, there is the possibility of intermodulation products falling in the base receive band. These products could be at a level sufficient to cause Uiterference to PMR services. Pro

29、pagation Models Interference from an ERMES base station to a PMR base station. In this case the free space formula is used. It is recognised that this model probably will underestimate the propagation loss for long distances ( 5 - 10 km), but since the acceptable distances are much shorter than that

30、 the model can still be used. Interference from an ERMESPMR base station to a PMR/ERMES mobile station. In these cases the HATA model is used when this gives a greater propagation loss than free space propagation. For other (shorter) distances the free space model is used. Interference from a PMR mo

31、bile station to an ERMES mobile station. For propagation between two mobiles the free space formula is used for distances up to 15 meters, and the plane earth model is used for greater distances. For urban areas, the same model with an additional attenuation B = 9 dB due to urban clutter is used. Se

32、paration distances Separation distances, in metres, are given overleaf. These are the distances that would be required to achieve the desired isolation in the absence of any additional measures such as filtering.

PRACTICAL TESTS PMR Receivers The measured performance of the PMR receivers with regard to sensitivity, adjacent channel and blocking was better than the specification required. Comparison of the unwanted signal

38、levels required to produce identical reductions in SINAD in the laboratory showed that, apart from the adjacent channel, there was negligible difference between the degradation caused by a PMR, or an ERMES, interferer. The close-in unwanted signal rejection performance of the two PMR receivers teste

39、d was quite different. One rejected unwanted (PMR) signals 25 kHz away as effectively as it did those 1 MHz away, the second receiver achieved this level of rejection when the unwanted (PMR) signals were in excess of 100 kHz away. Comparing the results of the laboratory tests conducted using a simul

40、ated ERMES signal, and those obtained in the field using an operational NEC PBJlOV ERMES transmitter, indicates that broadband noise from an ERMES transmitter falling in the wanted channel will be the dominant interference mechanism with the better PMR receivers. It should be noted however, that the

41、 broadband noise from the ERMES transmitter was not excessive and that similar, or higher, (relative) levels of broadband noise may be emitted from PMR transmitters. Apart from identifying the need to consider the effects of broadband transmitter noise, the results of the practical tests support the

42、 theoretical calculations contained in this document. ERMES Transmitter Measurements were conducted on a pre production ERMES transmitter under laboratory conditions. The adjacent channel power was found to be better than that specified and furthermore the broadband noise was lower than that anticip

43、ated (typically -90 dBc in a 12% kHz bandwidth). 5. OBSERVATIONS The calculated separation distances, necessary for ERMES transmitters to operate in the adjacent channel to a PMR base station receiver, without causing interference is several kilometres. Even with frequency separations in excess of 1

44、 MHz, receiver blocking (ERMES and PMR) may cause compatibility problems at distances of several hundred metres. Both PMR and ERMES specifications have an area, from the second adjacent channel to 1 MHz from the wanted channel, where the receiver performance is undefined. Actual performance in this

45、area will be of crucial importance to the magnitude of the compatibility problem. The magnitude of the compatibility problem is likely to be greatest where the PMR base station sites are concentrated (where market demand is greatest). i.e. cities, main conurbations and transport centres. The measure

46、s necessary to provide solutions to the compatibility problems are expected to cause unforeseen economic costs to operators and users of the PMR and ERMES services. The most significant compatibility problem is that of the ERMES transmitter affecting PMR base station receivers. Other interference sc

47、enarios may also cause compatibility problems, but to a lesser extent. To avoid worsening interference problems good site engineering practice at least to the level of MPT 1331 (UK) or ETR 58 will be required at all sites where ERMES and PMR base stations are Co-sited. ERC REPORT 21 Page 8 6. CONCLU

48、SIONS in my countries the ERMES channels are surrounded by PMR channels with base stations for both systems co- sited in urban areas. This work confirms that if ERMES is introduced without adequate precautions, a significant interference problem will exist. A number of techniques have been suggested

49、 to improve the situation, and all of these techniques will be required at some sites. The solutions will be costly in many cases, and the mix of solutions will need to take into account the economics of both PMR and ERMES. Various options to improve the situation are listed below in no particular order: Ensuring adequate (spatial / vertical) separation Providing frequency separation. Provide filtering. Controlling power levels. Tightening the specification(s). None of the above options should be considered in isolation. Notes: Provide fiilering. Cavity filters (specXcaily Q-C
