Abstract

By using the radio propagation prediction of Rec. ITU-R P.1546, geographic information system, and S-I plane, we presented the methodology of interference analysis based on the minimum coupling loss, and also suggested the local coordinate system for calculating azimuth and elevation angles between the victim receiver and the interferer for an arbitrary antenna pattern. To check the presented algorithm, the map with the land-sea mixed area was taken for the given area of $80{\times}60[km^2]$ as real geography information. Field strength, path profile, and protection ratio with maximum allowable interference level have been illustrated for radar and fixed wireless system for the assumed frequency. In addition interference power of the victim receiver was calculated asa function of azimuth and elevation angles of the interferer. The developed methodology of interference analysis in the VHF and UHF bands can be actually applied to assess interoperability as well as compatibility in the civil or military applications.

ITU-R 권고 P.1546의 전파전파 예측, 지리정보시스템, 신호-간섭(S-I) 평면에 기반하여 최소커플링손실을 적용한 무선시스템 간의 간섭분석 방법을 제시하며, 또한 임의의 안테나 패턴에 대해 간섭원과 피해 수신기 간의 방위각 및 앙각을 산출하는 국부좌표계를 도출하였다. 제시된 알고리즘의 확인을 위해 지도상의 면적 $80{\times}60[km^2]$ 갖는 실제 육지-바다 혼합지역의 지리정보를 취하였다. 가정한 주파수에 대해 지도상에 위치한 고정무선시스템 및 레이더의 전계강도와 경로윤곽 및 최대허용간섭레벨을 갖는 보호비를 산출하였으며, 간섭원의 방위각 및 앙각의 변화에 대해 피해 수신기의 간섭전력을 계산하였다. VHF 및 UHF 대역에서 개발된 간섭분석 방법론은 상용 또는 군용 무선시스템 간의 상호 운용성 및 양립성 평가에 실제로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.
