Abstract

In this article, the harmful radiation level of electric field strength from the hostile low-power radio devices causing the intermodulation interference to the AMPS receiver has been predicted. The predicted level becomes the upper limit to avoid the intermodulation interference on the victim device. Our findings show that the quantified upper limit was 79.13[dBμV/m] to mitigate the adverse influence from these low-power radio devices. Our results are based on the calculation, simulation, and measurement for the commercial AMPS chip. Resulting values are in a good agreement within less than 3[dB].
