Demystifying Radio Frequency Interference: Causes and Techniques for Reduction Donald J. Arndt

Interference whether caused by natural sources (such as lightning static, atmospheric noise, temperature inversions) or artificial ones (other RF/wireless transmitters, electrical machinery, etc.) has plagued RF/wireless communications since the days of Marconi. But it has taken on a special urgency as more wireless services, especially broadband digital ones, come on line; new digital services, such as WiFi and WiMax, are far less tolerant of interference than analog transmission modes (like AM and FM radio). Because of this, a solid knowledge of the causes of RF interference and techniques for mitigating it is becoming vital knowledge for RF/wireless professionals. This book will explore common sources of interference, how to correctly identify the source, and how to reduce or eliminate such interference in a very interesting way.

*WiFi and WiMax interference limitation techniques highlighted
*Covers cutting-edge technical approaches to interference reduction *Discusses how to negotiate with other users to achieve mutual and reciprocal reductions in levels of interference.
