Abstract

This paper describes a concept and a simple estimation method for the effect of impulsive noise on the error rate of digital mobile radio. Each experiment is required to estimate the impulsive noise influence for every system since the measurements of impulsive noise have been carried out by means of the CISPR quasi-peak value method. The author showed experimentally that the impulsive noise influence could be estimated by gathering up bit errors induced by individual noise impulses when those amplitudes were evaluated by the peak value method. A simple estimation method for impulsive noise influence is proposed for the different frequency bands and modulation schemes, using the above mentioned concept. It can be shown by this method that considerable errors will occur in some cases
