Scenario-based modeling for electromagnetic interference analysis on wireless systems

Interference in the vicinity of a receiving radio system can cause serious degradation of the radio communication performance. This may even result in disruptions and lost calls. Existing analysis tools to analyze interference problems in advance are often specialized at certain radio technologies or so complicated that they can only be used by experienced specialists. To foresee and prevent such communication problems, a scenario based research tool for electromagnetic interference analysis has been developed. The tool is named GENESIS and can be used by larger user groups that are not experienced specialists. The tool can identify, by use of smart color-mapping, the regions where the risk for communication problems may arise. The system can typically predict the increased error rate and the maximum communication distance reduction due to interference.
