Figure 3-9: Increase of antenna array central element's input power due to RF interference
If more than one snapshot of interest is taken in sequence, then all are gathered in the same event,
zlassified in strength level by the strongest among them. “In sequence” here means snapshots
triggered by RFI detection that were recorded in sequence.
Sometimes the time interval between snapshots can be approximately equal to the dead-time
period (30 s) or much larger (such as 40 minutes). Big time differences between consecutive RFI
snapshots don’t necessarily mean that the interference events were brief and halted between the
time of the snapshots. It might be the case of environmental or other electronic conditions that
momentarily reduced or shadowed the interference signal influence over the receiver. Thus,
consecutive snapshots are gathered as part of the same event.
Pre- and post-correlation processing were performed and yielded several results for analysis. Pre-
correlation processing produced spectrograms, power spectrum densities (PSD), time plots and
