A review of wireless coexistence test methodologies

This paper discusses several wireless coexistence test methods in-practice and proposed for industry standards such as ANSI C63.27 The test methods include conducted and radiated setups, and utilize a range of technologies at various levels of sophistication, including consumer electronics, laboratory grade test equipment, and anechoic test chambers. Some key parameters associated with the testing environments are outlined, and the benefits and limitations of the different test methods are discussed. Finally, some ideas on research needed to reconcile the outputs from the various tests are explored.
