A review of communication interference problems

Optimum useage of the spectrum can only occur if the problems are appreciated and intelligent solutions pursued. In particular transmitter splatter, impulse noise, and intermodulation have been treated in some detail. It is shown that under a different set of conditions each of the above factors may be the limiting factor on system performance. Comparisons are made between FM, SSB and AM, where appropriate. Other interference factors such as transmitter noise, and frequency stability are briefly considered. Channel splitting is discussed briefly in the light of the above problems.
