Influence of the radio signals frequency band on their spatial selection in communication channels

Abstract

This article deals with the dependence of the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) on the frequency band of a radio channel when transmitting three different radio signals over it based on a mathematical model. Signals are transmitted on a single carrier frequency, in one direction and occupy the entire channel frequency band, which varied from 0 to 30 GHz. A threeelement sparse antenna array (SAA) is used for signal transmission. Each signal is emitted by all three SAA elements with certain phase shifts. In the reception area, such a structure of the total field is formed, at which the maxima of all transmitted signals are spatially spaced. This allows each signal to be received on a separate antenna. Studies have shown that the S/N ratio for different signals depends differently on the channel bandwidth. For a signal emitted by all SAA antennas in phase, the S/N ratio is practically independent of the bandwidth and is about 70 dB. For the two remaining phased signals the S/N ratio varies equally over the entire range of the channel frequency band values and is characterized by a sharp drop from 62 to 8 dB.
