LTE femtocells interference scenario and coexistence with the Brazilian digital broadcast system

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the interference produced by LTE Femtocells operating at 700 MHz on Digital Television (SBTD) that, in Brazil, employs the Integrated System for Digital Broadcast, Brazilian Version (ISDB-Tb) standard. The study considered indoor interference from a 700 MHz Femtocell on the digital television channel located at 695 MHz. Experimental results were compared with simulation results obtained with the SEAMCAT program.
