ANNEX 2 Interference between TV/FM signals 1 Introduction Interference between TV/FM signals is of s

The methodology for the assessments sp

21、ecifjing the viewing conditions, grading scales and other details is recommended by the IT-R in Recommendation ITU-R BT.500. A five-grade scale is usually used to describe the quality and level of impairment of the TV picture. Subjective assessment of TV picture quality 3 The results of extensive as

24、e to co-channel interference caused by another TV/FM carrier Many studies support the following conclusions in respect to interference from another TVRM carrier: - the impact of co-channel interference on the picture quality is more significant than the impact of the same amount of thermal noise; th

25、e subjective effects of the impairments caused by the co-channel interference are dependent on the desired TV picture content; the picture content of the interfering TV signal seems to play a less significant role; the deviation of the desired signal is an important factor. - - Expression (4) has be

27、n in (MHz) of the wanted TV signal Equation (2) relates the impairments due to interference with the corresponding impairment grade Q. Comparing the impairments introduced by thermal noise and interference, an important observation can be made; the impairments caused by co-channel interference corre

28、spond to the impairments caused by the thermal noise whose level is about 6 dB higher than the interference noise. This observation suggests the use of equation (3) adjusted for the 6 dB higher impact in modelling the impairments due to co-channel interference. Applying this approach to the example

29、in Fig. 2, the relation between the protection ratio and the impairments due to co-channel interference with an adjustment factor of 6.2 dB is given by equation (5). For this example, SIN, = C/N + 30 (dB). Then, SINinl = C/Z + 30 - 6.2 = C/Z + 23.8 =PR0 + 23.8 (dB) and equation (5) follows: lint = 1

30、(pR0 + 23W5 / 0.02712.2 (5) As shown in Fig. 3, this approach better describes the mean opinion scores for co-channel interference, especially at lower grades, than equation (4). 4 STD-ITU-R RECMN S.LI83-3-ENGL 1777 4855212 0530290 71b Rec.

34、f three equal level Co-channel interferers is equivalent to the impact of a single interferer having a 3 to 5 dl3 higher power. These results suggest that the power addition law corresponds to the worst case. Rec. ITU-R S.483-3 7 6 When both thermal noise and co-channel interference are present in a

35、 TV signal, the modelling of the impairments introduced in the picture is not straightforward. It is known that a simple addition of the interference power to the thermal noise power does not adequately model the resulting impairments. Another method based on the addition of impairments caused by th

36、ermal noise and co-channel interference provides a better approach, but it is not reliable for low impairment grades. A new method based on the summation of thermal noise and weighted co-channel interference noise, proposed here, appears to provide a reasonably good approximation of the mean opinion

37、 scores over the full range of the impairment grades. The proposed method is based on the observation made in 5 4 that the impairments caused by co-channel interference are approximately equivalent to the impairments caused by the thermal noise having a power of about 6 dB higher than the co-channel

38、 interference power. This suggests that the noise power present in the TV signal and the co-channel interference power increased by about 6 dB can be summed up, an equivalent SIN, can be found and the impairments introduced can then be determined by using equation (3). The method of summation of imp

39、airments is also given for comparison. Following the proposed method a set of curves for a range of SIN, from 42 to 56 dB and a range of protection ratios fiom 10 to 40 di3 is generated and shown in Fig. 4 for the NTSC TV standard with a peak-to-peak FM deviation of 9.5 MHz.

41、eak deviation (vHz) 8 Rec. ITU-R S.4833 7 Impact of desired TV/FM signal deviation The deviation of the desired TV signal has a significant effect on the impact of the co-channel interference. Many studies have shown that a “20 log” law can be applied. In other words, if the impact of a co-channel i

42、nterferer at a protection ratio PRO into a TV signal with a deviation DO is determined, then the same interferer will have the same impact into a TV signal whose deviation is D1 at a protection ratio PR1 = PR0 - 20 log (Dl/Do). Applying this, the results in Fig. 4 are generalized by denoting the X-a

43、xis as X= PR0 + 20 log (D/9.5) (dB). The effect of over deviation of the desired TV signal has not been modelled and needs to be further studied. 8 Development of protection masks All the preceding results were based on the assumption that the desired and the interfering signal are exactly co-channe

44、l. In practical applications, however, the signals are often frequency offset. Therefore, the masks providing the required protection ratios as a function of the frequency offset need to be developed. Such a mask can generally be defined by a protection ratio PRO in the flat pedestal around the zero

45、 frequency offset and the slopes for positive and negative frequency offsets. The previous sections provide a basis for determining the PRO (for NTSC TV standard). The width of the pedestal and the slopes are discussed in the following sections. 8.1 Protection ratio at zero offset (PRO) The curves i

46、n Fig. 4 can be used to determine the required protection ratio at zero frequency offset for any degradation of NTSC TV picture which is deemed permissible. For example, if a TV/FM signal with a signal-to-thermal noise ratio of 42 dB and a peak-to-peak deviation of 9.5 MHz is interfered with by anot

47、her TV/FM signal at zero frequency offset and the protection ratio is 25 dB, the combined impact of the thermal noise and interference will result in the impairment grade 3.4. If, however, the wanted signal peak-to-peak deviation is 19 MHz, the same interferer and thermal noise would result in the g

48、rade 3.5 (Fig. 4, X= 25 + 20 log (19/9.5) = 3 1 dB). 8.2 Width of the plateau and slopes of the mask Based on the available data, the width of the plateau seems to be 15 MHz. The slopes of the mask can be approximated by: S = K9.5/D - 0.295 log(D/9.5) (6) where D is peak-to-peak deviation of the des

49、ired TV signal (MHz) and K = 2.3 and 1.9 for the right and left slope, respectively. The above results have been derived from TV/FM signals using 2 MHZP- energy dispersal in the absence of the video signal and 1 MHz, in its presence. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of other energy dispersal bandwidths. The method presented above was used to generate the protection ratio masks for various frequency deviations shown in Fig. 5. 9 Permissible level of interference The permissible level of interference in a carrier
