Abstract

Electrical and mechanical equipments can be major sources of interference for wireless systems. This paper presents the effects of both noise and interference in a wide frequency band between 100 kHz and 3 GHz. Electromagnetic field (EMF) strength measurements of the impulsive noise taken at various locations such as computer labs, TV stations and hospitals are presented. Measurement results are fitted into a mathematical model and it is shown that the amplitude probability distribution (APD) functions derived from the measurements can be described by the Middleton Class-A model.
