Rx1 „improved“: Receiver with highly linear frontend, improved filter and AGC, exceeding
requirements of ETSI TS 102 933

Failure Criterion

The GSM-R link was regarded interfered when the
RxQual value reported by the terminal receiver
dropped to 4 or less.

Result Evaluation (1)

At low GSM-R levels unwanted emissions dominate, at
higher GSM-R levels receiver overloading dominates.

Transition between interference effects strongly depends
on interfering signal quality: Realistic signals have much
less interference potential from unwanted emissions than
signals just meeting the standard.

The interference potential of UMTS and LTE/5MHz is nearly
equal.

Interference potential due to unwanted emissions from
UMTS/LTE is about 10-20 dB higher than from GSM.

One UMTS/LTE signal alone may create receiver
intermodulation often affecting the whole GSM-R band.

Additional Measurements with Filters


Necessary to assess:

GSM-R on upper channels, UMTS/LTE in first 5MHz of
public band (critical situations)

Improvements by different receiver filter solutions
Receiver configurations:

Rx1: „improved“

Rx2: „standard“

Rx3: „standard“ receiver plus dual 8-cavity Kaelus filter

Rx4: „improved“ receiver
plus small Lorch filter

Result Evaluation (2)

The standard receiver is nearly always overloaded by
UMTS/LTE in the first 5 MHz of the public mobile band.

The improved receiver is only overloaded when UMTS/LTE
is on 927.6 MHz and the GSM-R level is high (>80dBm for
realistic, >50dBm for standard signals), and then the
tolerable interference level is up to 20 dB higher than for
the standard receiver.

Receivers with the Kaelus filter are never overloaded by
UMTS/LTE signals.

The additional Lorch filter for the improved receiver does
not further increase immunity against UMTS/LTE on
927.6 MHz.
