Radio interference originating
from mobile phones
The problem with direct radiated RFI has
accentuated nowadays because of the
growing numbers of mobile and especially
pocket telephones. Thus it is today rather
common that a RF transmitter with output
power of several watts in form of a mobile
telephone is placed quite close to an ana-
log telephone. There is a simultaneous
even bigger problem coming from these
portable phones of digital time-multiplex
type like the GSM. The GSM signal consists
of 900 MHz carrier that is transmitted in
short signal bursts 1/8 of time and with a
repetition frequency of slightly higher than
200 Hz. This signal will be directly radiated
to all parts in a conventional telephone set.
All unlinear elements as most of the
semiconductors will envelope detect this
signal and thus feed the 200 Hz signal with
harmonics into all points of the telephone.
The methode to counteract this problem is
the same as before with a difference that it
has to be done with much more precision.
The principle is to attenuate the HF signal
to a level where the detected 200 Hz signal
is below a disturbing level especially at
high sensitive points like at the microphone
input.
