Abstract
Digital radio performance degradation due to interference is significant in the latest 64 QAM technology and must be considered during the path design of a digital radio facility. A route engineering tool, based on a model that considers radio interference to be time-varying has been developed for designing rugged digital radio paths in a radio interference environment. The long-term statistics of interference dynamics during multipath fading is modeled as a lognormal distribution with a standard deviation dependent on terrain roughness. Analysis of multipath fading data obtained from a distance experiment has shown a linear relationship between the standard deviation of the interference and the fade depth of the desired signal. When this interference dynamics model is used to calculate the expected outage in a 64 QAM digital radio system equipped with space diversity (at a junction station with average terrain roughness, a free space C/l of 60 dB, and a standard deviation of 4 dB), a 200% increase in outage is predicted over the outage predicted by the constant interference model.<>
