Simulation analysis on co-site interference of vehicular digital communication system based on IM prediction method by BER

Abstract The co-site interference exists in kinds of communication systems, especially in digital communication systems, also is one of the biggest threats in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) designation of the systems. Analyzing the co-site interference is an important process in achieving EMC performance of the system. Under the situation, the co-site interference simulation analysis of a vehicular digital communication system based on interference margin (IM) prediction method by bit error ratio (BER) was proposed in the paper. In the simulation analysis, some physical models of the vehicular communication system were established on SIMULINK environment, the upper limit of BER level for audio signals was defined as the IM, three different types of co-site interference was analyzed respectively, and the simulation results were obtained in the form of system interference bandwidth. From these results, the EMC performance evaluation of the vehicular communication system was predicted based on the IM prediction method. By comparing with the actual test results, the correctness of the simulation results was validated and the simulation analysis method can be used for reference by other communication systems was indicated.
