This authoritative resource describes how to assess and mitigate RF interference in radio systems and presents effective methods to identify and resolve RFI before, during and after its appearance. Authored by a leading authority in the field, this book provides engineers and managers with the knowledge they need in the control of Radio Frequency Interference. Readers find practical guidance in an array of critical areas, including engineering of radiocommunication and wireless systems in light of RFI, identifying RFI modes, electromagnetic compatibility and spectrum sharing. Key concepts in evaluating radio frequency interference, propagation on obstructed paths, interference protection radio and RFI resolution and mitigation techniques such as filtering, spectral capture, radiolocation, cancellation and cognitive radio are covered in this book. This book concludes with prospective for RFI resolution in future radiocommunication systems.

A qualitative evaluation was made of the effects of radio frequency interference (RFI) and bandwidh limitation on the accuracy and reliability of transmitted data from a typical nuclear radiation instrument coupled to a standard telemetry system. Significant errors resulted from RFI. These errors demonstrated the need for RF isolation in high impedance elements of nuclear radiation instruments coupled to telemetry equipment or operating in RF environments. Bandwidth limitation did not significantly affect the accuracy or reliability of the pulsed output system used; however, noise reduced data reliability at very low pulse repetition rates. (Author).
