How is signal interference detected?
Detecting interference typically involves using a spectrum analyzer. Today, suppliers offer both swept-tuned and real-time spectrum analyzers (RTSAs). While a traditional swept-tuned spectrum analyzer can be used for interference detection, it does have certain limitations when compared with an RTSA.
What is signal interference?
In telecommunications, an interference is that which modifies a signal in a disruptive manner, as it travels along a communication channel between its source and receiver. The term is often used to refer to the addition of unwanted signals to a useful signal. Co-channel interference (CCI), also known as crosstalk.
How do I reduce antenna interference?
A coaxial cable is used to transmit an over the air signal from the antenna to your television tuner. The coaxial cable comes wrapped in shielding, usually consisting of metal and plastic. Shielding helps to reduce electromagnetic interference. If the cable is poorly shielded, you can get signal loss and interference.

Why does my digital TV signal keep Pixelating?
Pixelation occurs when the incoming signal to your TV is weak or incomplete. As a result, the TV doesn’t have all the data it needs to process the image incorrectly, and pixelation occurs. The causes of this problem usually stems from incomplete or incorrect digital or analog signals.
Why does my digital antenna cut in and out?
A: The reason the signal goes in and out is most likely due to “multipath issues.” When a TV signal travels, it bounces off things it hits (such as mountains and high buildings), and those bounces can reach your antenna, confusing your TV’s tuner.
