Experimental study on Protection Distances between LTE and DVB-T stations operating in adjacent UHF frequency bands

The present work aims to provide an effective contribution in the analysis of the coexistence problem between DVB-T signals, operating in the lower part of the UHF band (470-790 MHz), and signals of future mobile communication systems (LTE), operating in the digital dividend portion of the UHF spect...

Description
Summary:The present work aims to provide an effective contribution in the analysis of the coexistence problem between DVB-T signals, operating in the lower part of the UHF band (470-790 MHz), and signals of future mobile communication systems (LTE), operating in the digital dividend portion of the UHF spectrum (from 790 MHz to 862 MHz), resulting from the digital switchover process. Simulation analysis are carried out to estimate adjacent channel interfering effects of LTE Base Station (BS) and User Equipment (UE) signals on DVB-T receiver systems, through the computation of the correspondent Protection Distance in some specific operative scenarios. The goal of this analysis is to provide valuable inputs, in the mentioned frequency bands, in case of new mobile cellular networks deployment.
