Redefining Interference Standards for the Digital Age: Our Research for the German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA)
How do we protect modern digital signals like LTE or DVB-T from interference when many existing regulations are still rooted in the analog era?
At HTWK Leipzig, we’ve tackled this challenge head-on. Commissioned by the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur), we developed advanced simulation and measurement procedures to predict interference effects on broadband digital modulation standards.
The Key Takeaways:
- High Fidelity: Our custom-developed simulation software shows nice correlation with real-world measurements taken in our anechoic chamber.
- Future-Proof: These methods aren’t just for current tech—they are designed to predict interference for almost any future digital modulation standard.
- Impact: We’ve provided the scientific foundation for the BNetzA to modernize outdated limits and testing procedures. To be harmonized at international level.
Very nice example for interdisciplinary work between RadioLab and NEMS
Where Research Meets Education:
This project is a nice example of our curriculum at the Faculty of Digital Transformation. We don’t just teach theory; our students dive deep into:
- RF Measurement Technology
- Digital Modulation & Mobile Networks
- Software-Defined Radio (SDR)
- Complex Software Development
By bridging the gap between software engineering and high-frequency engineering, we are preparing the next generation of engineers for the challenges of a hyper-connected world.
