What is Wireless Coexistence? Wireless coexistence is the capability of multiple wireless devices and services in the same geographical area to access the same RF spectrum band simultaneously without causing harmful interference to each other. In other words, can they all operate successfully and...

Wireless Systems Metrology

Ongoing

The Wireless Systems Metrology Program supports the growing wireless industry by developing methods to test the operation and functionality of wireless devices in the presence of various types of distortion. This includes multipath distortion, ranging from a line-of-sight environment (low-multipath)...
