Discussion on VDL Mode 4-receiver rejection performance

Agenda item:


Presented by EUROCONTROL


Prepared by Bertrand DESPERIER

SUMMARY
The VDL mode 4 interference testing campaign that has been done by Eurocontrol in June and July 2002 shows that it is not possible to achieve spectrum-efficient frequency planning assignments with a SARPs and MOPS compliant VDL mode 4 radio on the basis of current AMCP WG B operational scenarios.

The main limitation is due to the impact of voice DSB-AM interfering the VDL mode 4 receiver. In fact even if the radio under test fulfills the SARPs rejection requirements, these are not stringent enough to insure a satisfactory interference protection to the victim Mode 4 radio. Therefore a rejection ‘mask’ for VDL mode 4 is proposed for discussion in this paper as one possible improvement for VDL 4 frequency planning. This could become an additional MOPS requirement to protect VDL Mode 4 against any other service recognized by AMCP WGB operational scenarios.



1Introduction


This papers extends the reflection and analysis of VDL 4 interference testing presented in [1].
It appears clearly in [1] and [2] that to achieve ground scenarios-compatible separation distance when AM-DSB is the victim and VDL the undesired signal with S/P 6dB or 12dB, 4 guard-band channels are necessary.

The reverse case for VDL 4 victim of an adjacent AM-DSB interference presently constitutes a problem for VDL 4 frequency planning.

The present paper introduces for discussion a possible improvement of VDL 4-receiver rejection performance. This improvement would deliver comparable separation distance around the 5th adjacent channel when looking at an AM undesired signal rejection by a VDL victim receiver.

2Rejection mask definition


VDL mode 4 SARPs define a rejection capabilities for a VDL mode 4 receiver as 40dB rejection on the 1st adjacent channel and 60dB at the 4th adjacent channel.
Nothing is said however about the nature of the undesired signal to be rejected.

The crucial point for an efficient receiver rejection mask is to define precisely what has to be rejected, i.e. what kind of modulation scheme, for which desired and undesired channel load…


A different rejection ‘mask’ or performance could better be defined for each type of signal to be protected from.

2.1AM-DSB rejection


A typical speech signal with a peak modulation depth of 90% is equivalent to a 30% modulated 1kHz tone. It is then recommended to use 1KHz modulated 30% to measure the rejection capability of a VDL radio instead of a pure carrier in order to be as close as possible to real cases.

It is recommended to ensure 68 dB rejection with the fifth channel when –88 dBm minimum signal strength is considered (i.e. a maximum interfering power of –20 dBm) or 62 dB rejection when –82 dBm minimum signal strength is considered.

2.2VDL4 rejection


The maximum mobile channel load should be 6,67% (i.e. 5 slots/s). The interferer GFSK should fulfill the AMCP transmitter spectrum mask.

It is recommended to ensure 64 dB rejection with the second channel and above when –88dBm minimum signal strength is considered (i.e. a maximum interfering power of –24 dBm) or 58 dB rejection when –82 dBm minimum signal strength is considered.

2.3VDL2 REJECTION


The maximum mobile channel load should be 2% (i.e. 26ms pulsed every 1,3 s). The interferer D8PSK should fulfill the AMCP spectrum mask.

It is recommended to ensure 66 dB rejection with the second channel and above when –88dBm minimum signal strength is considered (i.e. a maximum interfering power of –22 dBm) or 60 dB rejection when –82 dBm minimum signal strength is considered.
