What is the exact expression for adjacent channel rejection ratio ?

what is the exact expression for adjacent channel rejection ratio ?

Is it also defined the allowable signal power in the adjacent channel?

Re: question about ACR

Hello fanshuo,


Adjacent Channel Rejection Ratio (ACRR):

The performance of a filter is normally specified in terms of a Rejection Ratio.
This indicates the filter's relative gain (‘loss’) at the center of the passband compared to just outside.
It is conventional to specify this in either of two ways:
the Adjacent Channel Rejection Ratio and the Alternate Channel Rejection Ratio.

The adjacent channels are those immediately on either side of the wanted
(tuned) channel.

Selectivity is usually measured as a ratio in decibels (dBs),
comparing the signal strength received against that of a similar signal on another frequency.
If the signal is at the adjacent channel of the selected signal,
this measurement is also known as adjacent-channel rejection ratio (ACRR).


Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR):

The adjacent channel power ratio is computed as the ratio of the power in
the adjacent channel to the power in the base channel:

ACPR = Pavg,adj/Pavg,ch

where Pavg,adj and Pavg,ch are the average channel power in the adjacent
and base channels, respectively.

question about ACR

In Receiver, it also means adjacent channel selectivity(ACS), which depends on LO's phase noise, linearity and channel filter..
