smaller than or equal to 288 KHz.
› For the DECT system, the bandwidth occupied by the channel is

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.


Analysis
Page 16 of Interference Sources Security Level:

Microwave transmission
› Occupied bandwidth: usually over several MHz.
› Normal reception level of microwave is about -60 dBm, imposing a great impact
on the WCDMA system.

Repeater
› Nonstandard installation results in insufficient antenna isolation, thus self-
excitation. This affects normal running of the NodeB where the repeater is
installed.
› The repeater is a wide-band non-linear amplifier. Its intermodulation index
www.huawei.com
exceeds the one specified in the protocol. The repeater easily causes
interference to nearby NodeBs when its power is too large.

Others
› Some communication devices occupy WCDM bands. Unreasonable installation
and isolation result in high harmonic signals and thus cause interference to the
WCDMA system. In addition, radar is also a common interference source.
