NARROWBAND PAGING COVERAGE

Codan MT-4E paging systems support wideband (25 KHz) and narrowband (12.5 KHz) paging. The

coverage area of the wideband / narrowband paging system is affected by two factors, the deviation of

the transmitter and the IF bandwidth of the receiver.

When transitioning to a narrowband system from a wideband system, the transmitter deviation level

is reduced and the receiver IF bandwidth will also be reduced. This may cause a minor reduction in

coverage area. If the paging system is required to do both narrowband and wideband paging (or an

older wideband receiver is still being used in a narrowband system), the wideband receiver will have

reduced coverage when receiving narrowband pages.

The coverage area needed may be deﬁ ned by different parameters called Channel Performance

Criterion (CPC), and different values of those parameters. Depending on who is designing the system,

the CPC may be SINAD or Bit Error Rate or another metric.

In analog systems there tends to be about a 2-3 dB difference in signal level required in narrowband

vs. wideband when using 12 dB SINAD as the CPC. The coverage loss is determined by the distance

required to make up that 2-3 dB signal level difference. However, if using 20 dB SINAD (dBS) or 25 dBS

then the difference is as high as 6 dB.

These numbers depend on the receiver used in the ﬁ eld and have nothing to do with the transmitter, if

the same type of transmitter is used in the entire system. If different transmitters are used in the system,

the coverage could change based on the Signal-to-Noise (S/N) performance of each transmitter.

The TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) standard TSB-88.1-C provides a recommended

best practice reference for developers and suppliers of land mobile communications system design,

modeling, simulation and spectrum management software, and automated tools. The following numbers

are from TSB-88.1-C and show the Carrier to Noise level required to meet the speciﬁ ed CPC (either

SINAD or BER). Unfortunately, no paging modulation types are listed.
