Performance evaluation of digital TV and LTE systems operating in the 700 MHz band under the effect of mutual interference

Abstract

This paper presents results of the assessment of the interference between digital TV systems and LTE systems operating in adjacent bands in the 700 MHz frequency range. Measurement results are presented and used to validate a simulation tool that allows different scenarios of interference between the SBTVD systems and LTE to be created. The simulation tool was then used to analyze the probability of interference dependence on the distance between systems, transmission power, number of interferers and other parameters to allow the definition of conditions for the harmonious coexistence of the systems.
