Outline • Introduction • Electromagnetic Interference • Multipath Measurements • Propagation Loss • Overall • Conclusion
Introduction • Commercial wireless applications face problems: • Electromagnetic Interference • ISI Multipath Effects • Coverage Propagation Loss • It is needed to characterize the environment before to deploy a wireless system measurements, simulations. • Measurements campaign conducted at multiple industrial environments: • Steel Mill • Paper Warehouse • Rail Yard • Electromagnetic characterization from 20 MHz to 3 GHz.
Electromagnetic Interference • Impulsive and Gaussian noise have different statistical properties. • Detect and calculate the impact of impulsive interference in communication systems.
Electromagnetic Interference • Simulation of BPSK system with Gaussian and Impulsive noise.
Electromagnetic Interference • Measurements of radio interference in railway transport. • Marshalling yard: Remote control locomotive technologies. Train with heavy load Reference measurement
Electromagnetic Interference • Analysis of the interference • Broadband frequency scan • Time measurement at particular frequency • Statistical analysis
Multipath Measurements • Time dispersion can produce ISI. • Where can we expect problems? Quantify ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) Ts Ts
MultipathHigh-Reflective to Absorbent 90% of the receivedenergyarrives at: • 10 ns for high-absorbent • 148ns for office • 664ns for high-reflective
Propagation Loss • LoS measurements in Reflective and Absorbent environment. • Stronger small scale fading for Reflective.
OverallInterference vsTime Dispersion • Low level of interference provides the best performance of wireless systems • High reflectivity can produce ISI but low reflectivity can insert coverage problems
Conclusions • Impulsive noise are different than Gaussian. • Electrical motors, vehicles and repair work insert impulsive interference in wireless systems. • Different industrial environments have different propagation characteristics (Reflective, Absorbent). • There is not a single best solution for all industrial cases.
