17、ried out as described in Annex 1. Annex 1 Methods for measuring indoor radio environment 1 Introduction This Annex describes methods for measuring and evaluating the indoor radio environment faced by radiocommunication applications. Considering the usage of radio devices in indoor locations, measure

18、ment of the radio environment in frequency ranges above 30 MHz may be required in practice. 2 Components of radio environment Major radio sources in indoor environment are emissions from electrical and electronic devices used inside the respective facility. Radio noises as described in Recommendatio

19、n ITU-R P.372 may get into a facility from the outdoor environment but its interfering effect is usually less than the emissions from indoor sources. Using the definition given in Recommendation ITU-R P.372, radio noise is the aggregate of emissions from multiple sources that do not originate from r

20、adiocommunication transmitters. If at a given measurement location there is no dominance of single noise sources, the characteristic of the radio noise often has a normal amplitude distribution and can be regarded as white Gaussian noise. However, with the high density of noise emitting devices espe

21、cially found in indoor environments, it is virtually impossible to find a location that is not at least temporarily dominated by emissions Rec. ITU-R SM.2093-0 5 from a single source. These sources often emit impulses and/or single carriers. Since radiocommunication equipment has to operate in such

22、an environment, it is necessary to include noise or emissions from nearby sources in measurements of the indoor radio environment. The following components of radio noise are defined in Recommendation ITU-R SM.1753. TABLE 1 Components of radio noise Noise component Properties Sources (examples) Whit

23、e Gaussian noise(1) (WGN) Uncorrelated electromagnetic vectors Bandwidth equal to or greater than receiver bandwidth Spectral power level increases linear with bandwidth Computers, power line communication networks, wired computer networks, cosmic noise Impulsive noise (IN) Correlated electromagneti

25、ower level independent of bandwidth Wired computer networks, computers, switched mode power supplies (1) In the context of this Recommendation, WGN is considered to represent a continuous noise signal which exhibits a nearly flat power spectral density in the frequency ranges around the measurement

26、bandwidth. Recommendation ITU-R SM.1753-2 also includes the following descriptions. While the WGN component is sufficiently characterized by the r.m.s. value, this is much more difficult for the IN. Modern digital communication services almost always apply error correction, making it more immune esp

27、ecially against impulsive noise. However, when certain pulse lengths and repetition ratios are reached, IN can significantly interfere with the operation of such a service. It is therefore desirable to measure radio noise in a way that gives not only the level of IN but also certain information abou

28、t the statistical distribution of pulse parameters. According to the description, characteristics of WGN and IN should be evaluated separately, since their mechanism of the impact on wireless communication system is different from each other. Single carrier noise (SCN) is only detected as such when

29、it comes from a single source near the measurement location. However, SCN is often a dominant component of the indoor radio environment where wireless systems must also work. Therefore the levels of all three components defined in Table 1 forming the indoor radio environment should be included in th

30、e measurement results. 6 Rec. ITU-R SM.2093-0 3 Key parameters of radio environment The measurement procedures described here will deliver the results for the following key parameters of radio environment: WGN: RMS level, presented as a single value. IN: Peak level, presented as a distribution; Impu

31、lse/burst duration, presented as a distribution; Impulse/burst period, presented as a distribution; Total impulse/burst time. SCN: RMS level of the highest interfering single carrier. The key parameters in indoor environment are presented as a distribution obtained from multiple point measurement de

32、scribed in section 4. The details of the evaluation procedures for the Key parameters are described in section 9. 4 Measurement principles Unlike outdoor environments, indoor radio environments depend considerably on the exact location of the measurement points, even within a room, because there is

33、a high density of radio noise sources in a room, and there are influences on propagation characteristics due to reflections on the walls, the ceiling or the presence of structures there. Therefore it is not adequate to determine radio environment characteristics by measurement at only a single point

34、 in a room. Acquiring the radio environment data at multiple points in a room or an installation is recommended. For multiple points measurement, a method that can measure SCN, WGN, and IN in a short time is necessary. The number of measurement points should be decided by considering the floor space

35、 of that location (e.g. 50 points per 100 m2). The method described in this Recommendation adopts post processing of I/Q data obtained by a vector signal analyser or a monitoring receiver. This measurement method is referred to as “I/Q data sampling method”. It can acquire SCN, WGN, and IN data at a

36、ny combination of resolution bandwidth and centre frequencies from I/Q data as long as they are inside the measured frequency band. Spectrograms, essential for SCN detection, can also be obtained from I/Q data. 5 Environmental categories The radio environment mainly depends on dominant interference

37、sources used in the building. Therefore, the environment categories for indoor measurement should be based on the usage of electrical and/or electric apparatuses, rather than the surrounding environment of the building as shown in Table 2. The table also shows the examples of locations for each cate

38、gory in order to help categorization of candidate locations. Rec. ITU-R SM.2093-0 7 TABLE 2 Selection criteria for indoor measurement locations and examples Category Definition Examples of locations Active time (hours) Domestic Single house or flat with typical electrical and electronic appliances f

An external low noise amplifier (LNA) can be used to impr

44、ove sensitivity. The following requirements should be applied to the combination of analyser/receiver and LNA. 8 Rec. ITU-R SM.2093-0 TABLE 3 Measurement system (receiver/LNA) requirements Function Requirement Frequency range 30-300 MHz 0.3-3 GHz Minimum acquisition bandwidth (I/Q sampling rate) 1 M

45、Hz 5 MHz Input (antenna input) VSWR 50 , nominal 90 dB 100 dB Image rejection 90 dB 100 dB LNA gain 25 dB 25 dB LNA gain stability 0.7 dB at 20-30C LNA gain flatness over the acquisition bandwidth 0.4 dB 0.5 dB Automatic gain control (AGC) Measurement outputs should have no AGC applied Electromagnet

46、ic compatibility of the measurement set-up including computers and interface All interference produced and received by the set-up should be less than 10 dB below the average noise to be measured.(2) (1) This noise figure applies to the LNA. (2) The measurement frequency should be shifted so as to sa

47、tisfy the requirement in the case that interferences are received in the measuring frequency band. When an LNA is used, the requirements in Table 2 have to be met by the whole combination of receiver and LNA. The system noise figure of the combination is dominated by the noise figure of the LNA. An

48、external attenuator may be used in order to assure input impedance of analyser/receiver or LNA. For improving sensitivity, an external attenuator may not to be used. 6.2 Antenna In indoor environments, usually dominant radio noise sources exist in the vicinity, and the arrival angle of the noise can

49、not be considered as uniform. Therefore, the use of directive antenna is inappropriate for measurements in these environments. The most appropriate antenna for all measurement frequency band is a vertical half-wave dipole because it has low loss which can be regarded as lossless and omni-directional gain in the horizontal Rec. ITU-R SM.2093-0 9 plane. A vertical ground plane antenna or sleeve antenna can also be used as they have similar characteristics to the half-wave dipole antenna. Below 300 MHz, vertical half-wave dipoles are not practical
