Abstract

In this paper the co-site interference in systems involving multiple radios has been studied. This type of interference occurs when a receiver is receiving a weak transmitting signal in the presence of transmitters or even high power jammers. The components of this interference include the power spectrum of the transmitter outputs, the electromagnetic coupling between the antennas, the level of sensitivity of the receiver and the possible intermodulations between different frequencies in the co-location system. The frequency and amplitude of interference at the input of receivers are calculated and reported by a software provided in MATLAB environment. In this software, the radio transmitters and receivers and their antennas can be modeled based on factory information, simulations and measurements.
