RF Co-existence Testing for IoT wireless medical devices

RF Coexistence measurement is a new technique to determine the ability of a RF device to tolerate interference and still deliver satisfactory operation. Coexistence addresses interference on the same frequencies as the device under test, as well as other “adjacent channel” or “out-of-band” receiver tests. This paper describes the RF Coexistence testing for IoT medical devices. Coexistence test may be performed for any of several reasons. In some cases, it may be performed due to complaints of failure in a certain environment. In others, it may be to measure the tolerance of a new product to expected interference levels. The purpose of the testing will determine the methods of test and reports required.
