Noise floor: define a distribution of the noise floor

N

D or S

dBm

See section 1.2.3 for further details

 

 

Blocking mode

 

-

B

-

Blocking mode and associated blocking mask

Blocking response: Receiver frequency response (receiver blocking performance)

blocking

F

(MHz)

dBm or dB depend. on mode

Receiver mask attenuation (positive or negative values depending on the chosen blocking mode, see below) versus frequency, see ANNEX 8:

Intermodulation rejection: Intermodulation response (intermodulation interference)

intermod

F

(MHz)

dB

Receiver mask at the intermodulation frequency. (see Annex A5.3 for further details)

Receive power dynamic range

 

Pcmax

S

dB

Used in the calculation of the dRSS. It is the maximum range of the received power that the VLR can accept, in terms of the maximum receive power over the VLR’s sensitivity threshold.

If the trialled dRSS value exceeds sens+Pcmax , the dRSS is set to the latter value. See ANNEX 14:.

Sensitivity

 

sens

S

dBm/VLR reception bandwidth

Sensitivity of the receiver. See Section 1.2.4

Reception bandwidth: Operating bandwidth

B

S

kHz

Bandwidth of the receiver.

Overloading

-

B

-

When selected, the overloading calclulation is performed. See Annex A5.4 for further details.

Overloading threshold

 

Oth

F

(MHz)

dBm

Overloading threshold is the maximum interfering signal level, where close to that level the receiver loses its ability to discriminate against interfering signals at frequencies differing from that of the wanted signal

Receiver filter

Rx_filter

F (MHz)

dB

Filtering of the receiver (if any). The filtering of the receiver is by default 0 dB (similarly to the default blocking filtering value). It is used in connection with the overloading calculation.
