The manual sets out how SEAMCAT can be used for spectrum sensing where the interfering devices (ILT) try to detect the presence of protected services (e.g. the VLT) transmitting in each of the potentially available channels. Spectrum sensing essentially involves conducting a measurement within a candidate channel to determine whether any protected service is present and transmitting.  When a channel is determined to be vacant, sensing is typically applied to adjacent channels to identify what constraints there might be on transmission power, if any.

It is assumed that the frequency of the interfering cognitive radio device is dependent on the frequency range defined for the victim. This means that when the CR module is activated, the interfering frequency function dialogue box is de-activated (#4 of Figure 231). Depending on how the victim frequency is defined (i.e. constant, discrete or distributed between fmin and fmax). SEAMCAT only allows the use of the following distributions: Constant, User defined, Uniform, User defined (stair).
