IM Interference

Enter Downlink Range:

QUICK PREDICT
Intermodulation Interference Prediction Tool
Intermodulation interference may occur when a site is co-located near another transmitting device. This tool predicts possible 3rd order intermod products and warns if they are in a PCS band. Actually predicting IM interference is much more complicated and requires careful analysis and often measurements.
