Abstract

This study explores the application of quantitative techniques to address radio and radar interference in congested electromagnetic environments. The models analyze factors such as transmitter spurious emissions, receiver spurious responses, intermodulation between transmitters and receivers, adjacent and cochannel interference, cross-modulation interference, receiver desensitization, and saturation. Key controllable variables include transmitter and receiver frequencies, transmitter power, and equipment location. The primary objective is to minimize unwanted interference in these systems. To achieve this, the study employs advanced problem-solving methods, including linear programming, integer programming, dynamic programming, and heuristics. This work provides a systematic framework for managing interference in complex electromagnetic networks, contributing to more efficient and reliable communication systems.
