4.10 Antenna gain

For simplification, we consider that the Victim link receiver and the Interfering link transmitter are defined using the following assumptions (again 1 km distance between the Interfering link transmitter and the Victim link receiver). 
 The iRSS unwanted is then: 
 iRSS unwanted = 33 (dBm) + 11 + Gr - (32.5 + 10 log(1) + 20 log(1000)) = -48.5 dBm + Gr

 In order to investigate the evolution of the iRSS versus the antenna radiation pattern with fixed location of the pairs of transmitters and receivers (i.e. to get random angle arrival and consequently random gain of the antenna radiation pattern), it is possible to rotate artificially the antenna pattern defined in Figure 139 in the azimuth domain. This can be done by rotating the antenna from 0 to 360 by applying a uniform distribution from 0 to 360 deg to the main beam direction (0 deg).

 The receiver antenna gain extends from 9 dB + (0  to -50 dB) meaning that it varies from +9 dB to -41 dB depending on the azimuth angle (Figure 140), the iRSS unwanted is then : 
 

 -89.5 dBm < iRSS unwanted < -39.5 dBm

 
 Results generated by SEAMCAT are presented in Figure 141.
