Chapter 8. Solving Noise and Interference Problems

One challenge that you will eventually face when operating your outdoor license-free network is how to minimize the throughput-reducing effects of interference and noise. Although noise has many potential causes, there are also many techniques that you can use to minimize the impact of noise on your network. This chapter summarizes the following topics:

  • The importance of understanding signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)

  • How to maximize the desired signal strength

  • How to minimize the noise from your own network

  • How to minimize the noise from other networks

  • How to minimize the noise from out-of-band transmitters

  • How to monitor network performance and detect emerging noise problems

  • How to use direction-finding ...
