Anchor 0 0 Introduction
SEAMCAT (Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool) is a statistical simulation model that uses a method of analysis called Monte Carlo to assess the potential interference between different radiocommunication wireless systems such as broadcasting, point to point, point to multipoint, radar, Mobile networks, aeronautical and satellites.
...
- Sharing and compatibility studies on different equipment operating in the same or adjacent frequency bands;
- Assessing the impact of using different systems transmit and receive masks;
- Evaluation of limits applied e.g. for unwanted emissions, blocking or intermodulation products.
SEAMCAT version 5 .0.0 and upward is a tool based on multicore processing allowing fast computation.
You can join the SEAMCAT community (Section 1.8) to contribute to the development of SEAMCAT and its libraries..
This ECC Report provides updated information compared to the material given in ERC Report 68 [7] which specified the original SEAMCAT alorithms.
Methodology
The radio spectrum is a limited resource and can only be used optimally if compatibility is assured between radio systems located in the same or adjacent frequency bands. The important criterion for radio compatibility is the difference between the wanted/desired signal level (victim link system) and any interfering signal levels in the victim link receiver’s input. The most significant interference mechanisms are unwanted emissions from transmitters as well as blocking and intermodulation in the victim link receiver.
...
The flexibility in the model and its’ supporting software implementation allow a quick yet reliable consideration of spatial and temporal distributions of the received signals and the resulting statistical probability of interference in a wide variety of scenarios.
