Designing RF Combining Systems for Shared Radio Sites provides all of the background needed to design site-specific transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) combining systems at crowded RF sites. It will help engineers at all levels to design site RF combining systems that do not cause or suffer interference as a result of other radio systems already installed at the site, and thereby achieve the goal of maximal coverage. Representing the author's decades of experience working RF circuit, product and system design in the military, and public safety and critical infrastructure sectors, the book lays out the types of interferences that can occur when a number of transmitters and receivers belonging to different land mobile radio (LMR) systems are colocated. It illustrates how to survey the sites so that you know what high-level interfering signals your system will be exposed to, and then shows you how to use that information to design your base station antenna and combining systems at each site in your network for minimum interference potential and hence maximum coverage at minimum cost. The design processed and principles provided help ensure that when the complete LMR system is designed, built, and tested, it performs exactly as expected. This is a must resource for both new and experienced RF systems design engineers who want to learn the why behind the what in these complex systems and ensure that the resulting systems perform optimally., A concise guide to high-performance Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems, customized for crucial public safety and utility applications, explores Radio Access Networks (RANs) within LMR systems. It covers base stations, mobile radios, and portable radios that enable seamless communication through strategically placed base stations, antennas, and combining systems. The book addresses interference issues, emphasizing diagnostic and remedial approaches through field testing and redesign. It particularly focuses on the design intricacies of base station antennas and combining systems at shared radio repeater sites in densely populated areas. The book outlines methods for identifying interference sources and constructing interference-resistant base station antennas and combining systems, ultimately maximizing coverage and cost-effectiveness. It offers a comprehensive roadmap for designing interference resilient LMR systems that meet and exceed the needs of public safety and utility organizations during critical operations. This resource is essential for engineers, designers, and professionals involved in creating reliable and high-performance LMR systems.
