Impact of MB-OFDM and DS-UWB Inteference on C-Band Receivers Torbjorn Larsson Paradiddle Communications, Inc. Torbjorn Larssson
Motivation and Objective • Motivated by two contributions: • 04/0412r0, In-band Interference Properties of MB-OFDM, by C. Razell, Philips • 04/547r0, Responses to “In-Band Interference Properties of MB-OFDM”, by C. Corral, G. Rasor, S. Emami, Freescale Semiconductor • The emphasis in the above contributions is on qualitative analysis • In contrast, the approach here is “brute force” simulation • Our hope is that the assumptions made are universal enough to be accaptable to the entire 802.15.3a task group • The author is an independent consultant, not affiliated with any UWB company. This work was not carried out under any consulting contract Torbjorn Larssson
C-Band DTV Systems • The C-band downlink spans 3.7 – 4.2 GHz • C-band antennas are typically 6 – 12 feet in diameter • Based on the DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcasting – Satellite) standard (EN 300 421) • DVB-S was designed for MPEG-2 broadcasting in the Ku-band, but is also used in the C-band • DVB-S does not specify a unique set of data rates or symbol rates; However… • Typical transponder bandwidth is 36 MHz (33 MHz also used) • Typical symbol rate 27 – 29 Msps • DVB-S2 is the next generation with improved bandwidth efficiency and FEC Torbjorn Larssson
DVB-S Torbjorn Larssson
Typical C-Band Downlink Channelization (Telesat satellite Anik F2. Footprint: North America) • Total of 24 channels • Each polarization has 12 channels • Transponder bandwidth is 36 MHz with a 4 MHz guard band • The center frequencies are separated by 40 MHz • The center frequencies for the two polarizations are offset by 20 MHz • The result is 24 center frequencies separated by 20 MHz Torbjorn Larssson
DTV Simulation Model • Excludes Reed-Solomon coding and interleaving • Impossible to simulate error rates with RS coding • Will probably favor DS-UWB • Symbol rate: 27 Msps • No quantization (including input to Viterbi decoder) • Ideal pulse shaping/matched filters (0.35 roll-off) • No nonlinarity • No frequency offset • No phase noise • Pre-computed phase error and time offset • Intend to run simulations for all code rates – Results presented only include rate 1/2 and 2/3 Torbjorn Larssson
MB-OFDM Transmitter Model • Based on the Sep. 2004 release of the MB-OFDM PHY Specifications (P802.15-04/0493r1) • Complete Matlab implementation of the specifications • System operating in band-hopping mode • Includes (5-bit) DAC and realistic filter characteristics • Spectral pre-shaping to compensate for non-ideal filter characteristics (=> worst-case in this context!) • Channel number 9 (Band group 1, TFC 1) • Data rate “110” Mbps (106.7 Mbps) Torbjorn Larssson
DS-UWB Transmitter Model • Based on the July 2004 release of the DS-UWB PHY specifications (P802.15-04/0137r3) • Complete Matlab implementation of the specifications • No DAC • Ideal RRC pulse shaping filter truncated to 12 chip periods (=> worst-case!) • Channel number 1 (chip rate: 1313 Mcps) • Data rate: “110” Mbps (109.417 Mbps) • BPSK modulation • Spreading code for preamble and header (PAC): -1 0 +1 -1 -1 -1 +1 +1 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 -1 +1 -1 +1 +1 +1 +1 -1 -1 +1 • Spreading code for frame body: +1 0 0 0 0 0 Torbjorn Larssson
Interference Spectra Resolution: 10 kHz PSD averaged over 10 packets (roughly 0.9 ms) • Transmit power is set so as to push each spectrum as close as possible to the FCC limit (worst-case condition) • MB-OFDM transmit power is -10.3 dBm • DS-UWB transmit power is -10.8 dBm (data rate dependent) Torbjorn Larssson
Interference Spectra – Close Up • Both spectra exhibit substantial variations • Solution: run simulation for multiple DTV center frequencies DTV center frequencies Torbjorn Larssson
Simulated DTV Center Frequencies • Rate 1/2 simulations: 3.8 – 4.3 GHz in steps of 10 MHz • Arbitrary choice across 500 MHz bandwidth • Rate 2/3 simulations: 3.72 – 4.18 GHz in steps of 20 MHz • According to channelization plan on slide 6 Torbjorn Larssson
Simulation Block Diagram • Attenuation 1 is set so that the received DTV power is 3 dB above sensitivity • Each simulation is performed with multiple DTC center frequencies • Simulation results are plotted as a function of center frequency and attenuation 2 • No multipath! Torbjorn Larssson
BER Performance without Interference Noise Figure = 4 dB • Sensitivity for rate 1/2 is -92.5 dBm (Eb/No = 3.2 dB) • Sensitivity for rate 2/3 is -90.7 dBm (Eb/No = 3.7 dB) Defines sensitivity Torbjorn Larssson
BER versus Center Frequency (Code Rate 1/2) Interference attenuation = 67 dB Center frequencies separated by 10MHz Torbjorn Larssson
Average BER (Code Rate 1/2) Torbjorn Larssson
Worst-Case BER (Code Rate 1/2) Torbjorn Larssson
BER versus Center Frequency (Code Rate 2/3) Interference attenuation = 67 dB Center frequencies separated by 20MHz Torbjorn Larssson
Average BER (Code Rate 2/3) Torbjorn Larssson
Worst-Case BER (Code Rate 2/3) Torbjorn Larssson
Conclusions • For the two simulated cases (rate 1/2 and 2/3), the difference in average BER across the C-band is 1 dB or less • The difference in worst-case BER is less than 0.5 dB • More general conclusions should be postponed until all code rates have been simulated Torbjorn Larssson
Onward… • Run simulations for code rates 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 • Run simulations for TFC 3 or4 • Include multipath • Suggestions? tlarsson@san.rr.com Torbjorn Larssson
