The receiver captures capturing some unwanted signals outside its own channel bandwidth because its filter is not ideal.

  1. User-defined:the values of the blocking mask are expressed directly as a Blocking response (filter selectivity) in relative positive values (dB) (see Figure 12);
  2. Protection ratio:
    the values of the blocking mask are expressed in relative positive values (dB);
    SEAMCAT considers the underlying protection criterion applied by the measurement procedure of used in typical standards when calculating the resulting blocking response
  3. Sensitivity:
    the values of the blocking mask are expressed in absolute power levels (dBm);
    SEAMCAT considers the underlying protection criterion applied by the measurement procedure used in typical standards when calculating the resulting blocking response

For cellular systems, if blocking is spsecified as ACS (Adjacent Channel Selectivity), then it is effectively the same as the User-defined mode for generic systems.

In all cases SEAMCAT perceives receiver blocking as a mask, which is a function of frequency separation between interfering and desired signals Δf=(fILT-fVLR), however you may also specify a constant value of blocking across the whole frequency range.

When calculating the value iRSSblocking, SEAMCAT applies the obtained receiver attenuation value aVLR to the full power of the interfering signal and will consider the resulting power (interfering signal at receiver input less blocking attenuation) as in-channel noise floor increase of the VLR.
