Locate and eliminate all kinds of interference
Unwanted transmitters are pervasive in today's mobile networks, degrading network capacity and reducing subscriber QoE. With the densification of cells and the deployment of emerging standards with higher-order modulation over legacy technologies, the RF environment is becoming ever-more complex making networks increasingly susceptible to rf interference and therefore radio interference hunting and spectrum clearance is a key issue for mobile network operators and regulators.
Your challenges:
External rf interference can originate from a licensed or non-licensed radio transmitter. A few dBs of reduction in signal to noise ratio at the receiver dramatically impacts network capacity with subsequent loss of revenue and subscriber QoE, requiring operators to hunt down rf interference quickly. On top the wider usage of TDD in mobile networks makes 5G interference hunting more time consuming because the rf interference hides behind the 5G downlink signals.
Our solutions:
Thankfully, sophisticated interference hunting receiver with time gating enable smooth 5G interference hunting as well as finding LTE interference when TDD is used. LTE/5G scanners can automatically identify unwanted transmitters and point to unsynchronized 5G signals, disturbing 5G and LTE TDD networks. and s Spectrum analyzers or receivers, together with a direction-finding antenna and sophisticated software, can automate the process to locate interference.
Your Benefits:
Combining decades of expertise in the field with cutting-edge technology for every budget and use case, Rohde & Schwarz solutions for interference hunting allow network operators, regulators and service companies to identify and locate any source of RF interference in mobile networks fast and efficiently. By using sophisticated automated interference hunting systems, the average efficiency to find 1 to 2 interference sources per day can be tenfold.
