Indoor measurements of IoT wireless systems interfered by impulsive noise from fluorescent lamps

This paper presents the methodology and results of several trials carried out in order to test the effects of impulsive noise source in IoT wireless systems. The impulsive noise generated by fluorescent lamps at 433 MHz and 868 MHz has been measured and recorded. Using these measurements an impulsive noise generator has been developed. Then, with the generated noise two IoT systems have been interfered and the results have been analyzed. The studied systems are a remote control operating at 433.92 MHz and an intelligent lighting based on Z-Wave protocol at 868.42 MHz. The methodology of the procedure is explained and the most relevant results are exposed.
