Interference Classifications and Measurement
Application Notes
Interference to radio signals can come from a number of sources including one’s own radio system, other radio systems, or unintentional radiators such as nearby electrical equipment and mechanical machinery. Identifying the type of interference can be useful in correcting the issue.
This paper defines the various types of interference and explains how the use of a handheld spectrum analyzer (HSA), such as Keysight Technologies N934xC family of HSAs and the N9340B HSA, are used to quickly identify the type of interference so that it can be expediently resolved.
