Display Signal-To-Interference-plus-noise Ratio (SINR) Map - MATLAB Sinr

The sinr function displays a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) map in MATLAB. It takes transmitter site data as input and calculates the SINR for each location based on signal strength from transmitter sites and propagation losses. Optional parameters can specify the propagation model, maximum map range, resolution, and other display properties. The function returns a colored contour map representing signal interference levels across an area from multiple transmitter locations.

Display signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) map

Syntax

sinr(txs)
sinr(txs,propmodel)
sinr( ___ ,Name,Value)

Description
sinr(txs) displays the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) for transmitter sites, txs. Each example
colored contour of the map defines the areas where the corresponding SINR is available to a mobile
receiver. For each location, the signal source is the transmitter site in txs with the greatest signal
strength. The remaining transmitter sites in txs act as interference. If txs is scalar, or there are no
sources of interference, the resultant map displays signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

sinr(txs,propmodel) displays the SINR map with the propagation model set to the value in
propmodel.

sinr( ___ ,Name,Value) sets properties using one or more name-value pairs, in addition to the input
arguments in previous syntaxes. For example, sinr(txs,'MaxRange',8000) sets the range from the
site location at 8000 meters to include in the SINR map region.

 SINR Map for Multiple Transmitters

Define names and location of sites in Boston.


Try it in MATLAB

names = ["Fenway Park","Faneuil Hall","Bunker Hill Monument"];


lats = [42.3467,42.3598,42.3763];
lons = [-71.0972,-71.0545,-71.0611];

Create a transmitter site array.

txs = txsite('Name', names,...


'Latitude',lats,...
'Longitude',lons, ...
'TransmitterFrequency',2.5e9);

Display the SINR map, where signal source for each location is selected as the transmitter site with the strongest
signal.

Input Arguments collapse all

txs — Transmitter sites


 txsite object | array of txsite objects

Transmitter site, specified as a txsite object. Use array inputs to specify multiple sites.

propmodel — Propagation model


 character vector | string

Propagation model, specified as a character vector or string. You can use the propagationModel function to
define this input.

You can also use the name-value pair 'PropagationModel' to specify this parameter.

Name-Value Pair Arguments


Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the
corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any
order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: 'MaxRange',8000

'Values' — Values of SINR for display


 [-5:20] (default) | numeric vector

Values of SINR for display, specified as numeric vector. Each value is displayed as a different colored, filled on
the contour map. The contour colors are derived using Colormap and ColorLimits.

'SignalSource' — Signal source of interest


 'strongest' (default) | transmitter site object

Signal source of interest, specified as 'strongest' or as a transmitter site object. When the signal source of
interest is 'strongest', the transmitter with the greatest signal strength is chosen as the signal source of interest
for that location.

'PropagationModel' — Propagation model to use for path loss calculations


 'freespace' (default) | 'close-in' | 'rain' | 'gas' | 'fog' | 'longley-rice' | propagation model
object

Propagation model to use for path loss calculations, specified as 'freespace', 'close-in', 'rain', 'gas',
'fog', 'longley-rice', or as an object created using the propagationModel function.

'MaxRange' — Maximum range of SINR map from each transmitter site


 30000 (default) | numeric scalar

Maximum range of the SINR map from each transmitter site, specified as a numeric scalar in meters.

 Note
When using terrain, the MaxRange limit is 300000 m.

Data Types: double

'Resolution' — Resolution of sample location grid used to compute SINR values


 'auto' (default) | numeric scalar

Resolution of sample location grid used to compute SINR values, specified as 'auto' or a numeric scalar in
meters. If resolution is 'auto', sinr computes a value scaled to MaxRange. Decreasing the resolution increases
the quality of the SINR map and the time required to create it.

'ReceiverNoisePower' — Total noise power at mobile receiver


 -107 (default) | scalar

Total noise power at mobile receiver, specified as a scalar in dBm. The default value assumes that the receiver
bandwidth is 1 MHz and receiver noise figure is 7 dB.

where,

• N = Receiver noise in dBm.


• B = Receiver bandwidth in Hz
• F = Noise figure in dB

'ReceiverGain' — Mobile receiver gain


 2.1 (default) | scalar

1/9/2019 Display signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) map - MATLAB sinr

Mobile receiver gain, specified as a scalar in dB. The receiver gain values include the antenna gain and the
system loss.

'ReceiverAntennaHeight' — Mobile receiver antenna height


 1 (default) | scalar

Mobile receiver antenna height, specified as a scalar in meters.

'Colormap' — Colormap for coloring filled contours


 'jet' (default) | M-by-3 array of RGB triplets

Colormap for coloring filled contours, specified as an M-by-3 array of RGB triplets, where M is the number of
individual colors.

'ColorLimits' — Color limits for color maps


 [-5 20] (default) | two-element vector

Color limits for color maps, specified as a two-element vector of the form [min max]. The color limits indicate the
SINR values that map to the first and last colors in the colormap.

'ShowLegend' — Show signal strength color legend on map


 'true' (default) | 'false'

Show signal strength color legend on map, specified as 'true' or 'false'.

'Transparency' — Transparency of SINR map


 0.4 (default) | numeric scalar

Transparency of SINR map, specified as a numeric scalar in the range 0–1.
