Mobilfunk–Szenario mit drei Pfaden

In  Task 2.5  the delay–Doppler–function was predefined. From this, one should calculate and interpret the other system functions. The default for the scatter function  $s(\tau_0, f_{\rm D})$  was $$s(\tau_0, f_{\rm D}) =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \delta (\dew_0) \cdot \delta (f_{\rm D} - 100\,{\rm Hz}) \ - \ $$

$$\hspace{1.5cm} \ - \ \hspace{-0.2cm} \frac{1}{2} \cdot \delta (\dew_0 \hspace{-0.05cm}- \hspace{-0.05cm}1\,{\rm \mu s}) \cdot \delta (f_{\rm D} \hspace{-0.05cm}- \hspace{-0.05cm}50\,{\rm Hz}) \ - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \delta (\dew_0 \hspace{-0.05cm}- \hspace{-0.05cm}1\,{\rm \mu s}) \cdot \delta (f_{\rm D}\hspace{-0.05cm} + \hspace{-0.05cm}50\,{\rm Hz})

\hspace{0.05cm}.$$

Note:   In our learning tutorial,  $s(\tau_0, \hspace{0.05cm} f_{\rm D})$  is also identified with  $\eta_{\rm VD}(\tau_0, \hspace{0.05cm}f_{\rm D})$ .

Here we have replaced the delay variable  $\tau$  with  $\tau_0$ . The new variable  $\tau_0$  describes the difference between the runtime of a path and the runtime  $\tau_1$  of the main path. The main path is thus identified in the above equation by  $\tau_0 = 0$ .

Now an attempt is made to find a mobile radio scenario in which this scatter function would actually occur. The basic structure is sketched above as a top view, and it applies:

• A single frequency is transmitted  $f_{\rm S} = 2 \ \rm GHz$.
• The mobile receiver  $\rm (E)$  is represented here by a yellow dot. It is not known whether the vehicle is stationary, moving towards the transmitter  $\rm (S)$  or moving away from it.
• The signal reaches the receiver via a main path (red) and two secondary paths (blue and green). Reflections from the obstacles cause phase shifts of  $\pi$.
• ${\rm S}_2$  and  ${\rm S}_3$  are to be understood here as fictitious transmitters from whose position the angles of incidence  $\alpha_2$  and  $\alpha_3$  of the secondary paths can be determined.
• For the Doppler frequency applies with the signal frequency  $f_{\rm S}$, the angle  $\alpha$, the velocity  $v$  and the velocity of light  $c = 3 \cdot 10^8 \ \rm m/s$:

$$f_{\rm D}= {v}/{c} \cdot f_{\rm S} \cdot \cos(\alpha)

\hspace{0.05cm}.$$

• The damping factors  $k_1$,  $k_2$  and  $k_3$  are inversely proportional to the path lengths  $d_1$,  $d_2$  and  $d_3$. This corresponds to the path loss exponent  $\gamma = 2$.
• This means:   The signal power decreases quadratically with distance  $d$  and accordingly the signal amplitude decreases linearly with  $d$.

Notes:

• This task belongs to chapter  Das GWSSUS–Kanalmodell.
• We focus especially on the   path-loss model  and the   Doppler effect.

Sample solution

Solution

(1)  The Doppler frequency is positive for $\tau_0$. This means that the receiver is moving towards the transmitter   ⇒   statement 2.

(2)  The equation for the Doppler frequency is general or for the angle $\alpha = 0$. $$f_{\rm D}= \frac{v}{c} \cdot f_{\rm S} \cdot \cos(\alpha)

\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.3cm}\alpha = 0 \hspace{0.05cm}{\rm :} \hspace{0.15cm}f_{\rm D}= \frac{v}{c} \cdot f_{\rm S}\hspace{0.05cm}.$

• This is what you get for speed:

$$v = \frac{f_{\rm D}}}{f_{\rm S} \cdot c = \frac{10^2\,{\rm Hz}}}{2 \cdot 10^9\,{\rm Hz}} \cdot 3 \cdot 10^8\,{\rm m/s} = 15\,{\rm m/s}

 \hspace{0.1cm} \underline {= 54 \,{\rm km/h} 
 \hspace{0.05cm}.$$

(3)  Correct are the solutions 1 and 4:

• The Doppler frequency $f_{\rm D} = 50 \ \rm Hz$ comes from the blue path, because the receiver somehow moves towards the virtual transmitter ${\rm S}_2$ (at the reflection point), although not in a direct direction.
• The angle $\alpha_2$ between the direction of movement and the connecting line ${\rm S_2 – E}$ is $60^\circ$:

$$\cos(\alpha_2) = \frac{f_{\rm D}}}{f_{\rm S}} \cdot \frac{c}{v} = \frac{50 \,{\rm Hz}\cdot 3 \cdot 10^8\,{\rm m/s}}}{2 \cdot 10^9\,{\rm Hz}\cdot 15\,{\rm m/s}} = 0.5 \hspace{0.3cm} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.3cm} \alpha_2

 \hspace{0.1cm} \underline {= 60^{\circ} } 
 \hspace{0.05cm}.$$

(4)  Correct are the statements 1 and 3:

• From $f_{\rm D} = \, –50 \ \rm Hz$ follows $\alpha_3 = \alpha_2 ± \pi$, so $\alpha_3 \ \underline {= 240^\circ}$.

(5)  All statements are correct:

• The two Dirac functions at $± 50 \ \ \rm Hz$ have the same running time. For both durations $\tau_3 = \tau_2 = \tau_1 + \tau_0$ is valid.
• From the same transit time, however, also follows  $d_3 = d_2$  and with the same length also the same damping factors.

(6)  The runtime difference is $\tau_0 = 1 \ \rm µ s$, as shown in the equation for $s(\tau_0, f_{\rm D})$.

• This gives the difference in length:

$$\Delta d = \dew_0 \cdot c = 10^{–6} {\rm s} \cdot 3 \cdot 10^8 \ \rm m/s \ \ \underline {= 300 \ \ \rm m}.$$

(7)  The path loss exponent was assumed to be $\gamma = 2$ for this task.

• Then $k_1 = K/d_1$ and $k_2 = K/d_2$.

• The minus sign takes into account the $180^\circ$–phase rotation on the secondary paths.
• From the weights of the Dirac functions one can read $k_1 = \sqrt{0.5}$ and $k_2 = -0.5$. From this follows:

$$\frac{\2}{d_1} = \frac{k_1}{-k_2} = \frac{1/\sqrt{2}}{0.5} = \sqrt{2}

 \hspace{0.15cm} \underline {= 1,414} 
 \hspace{0.05cm}.$$

• The constant $K$ is only an auxiliary variable that does not need to be considered further.

(8)  Aus  $d_2/d_1 = 2^{-0.5}$  and  $\Delta d = d_2 \, - d_1 = 300 \ \rm m$  finally follows:

$$\sqrt{2} \cdot d_1 - d_1 = 300\,{\rm m} \hspace{0.3cm} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.3cm}

 d_1 = \frac{300\,{\rm m}}}{\sqrt{2} - 1}   \hspace{0.15cm} \underline {= 724\,{\rm m}} 
 \hspace{0.3cm} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.3cm} d_2 = \sqrt{2} \cdot d_1 \hspace{0.15cm} \underline {= 1024\,{\rm m}}
 \hspace{0.05cm}. $$
