SUMMARYInterference temperature has been proposed by the FCC as a metric for interference analysis. The purpose of the metric is to demystify and remove the subjective context that has been the basis of interference analysis within the regulatory agencies. The development of an interference metric is critical if more intensive, dynamic use of the spectrum is desired. There has been very little specified as to the origins, use, and challenges of an interference metric. This paper provides an introductory analysis of the interference temperature metric.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
