Introduction
Many wireless networks operate in complex signal environments. Three or four base station antennas may be located on the same tower and can create interference problems, which can affect system capacity and coverage.
The Interference Analyzer (option 25) adds five measurement capabilities to the spectrum analyzer:
Spectrogram
Signal Strength
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
Signal ID
Interference Mapping
The instrument also has a spectrum mode which displays signals in a traditional spectrum analyzer view.
Note 
Set the instrument to Interference Analyzer mode for all the measurements described in this chapter. Refer to Product Information, Compliance, and Safety.
