Abstract

Interference 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.
